Ratings & Reviews for LENOX Forged Steel Straight cut Snips

Best aviation snips I’ve ever used. Irwin rocks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these left cut aviation snips to install a new aluminum downspout on my front porch gutter. The snips cut the aluminum like butter and I quickly had all the pieces cut and assembled and installed. Wife was impressed.

These are great snips. Irwin is the best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed to install an additional downspout on my front porch gutter. The aviation snips worked perfectly to cut all the the aluminum pieces. Wife commented it looks as good as the one we paid th have installed.

Irwin & Lennox RA Snips

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Irwin & Lennox RA Snips are well crafted. Great design and easy to use. Each cut is like the first cut. Sharp and cuts so easily. A must have in your tool arsenal. Great for precision cutting.

Irwin & Lennox SA Snips

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Irwin Straight Aviation Snips are a great tool. Crafted for years of use and extremely sharp, they do not disappoint. They are quite well designed with a comfortable grip for easy handling. Definitely a must have.

Super grip & cutting power!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super grip and cutting power. I love these snips! Cut through the ducting like a warm knife through butter and they have a depth gage on the blades. I used this to finish up my father in-laws ducting & I absolutely love them. I can’t honestly think of anything I dislike about these snips. I would buy them & recommend them to my employees & business friends.

Sharp Snips!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These new snips made quick work of a metal stud basement remodel. The snips are easy to use, sharp, and when locked, easy to flip open with a thumb. They maintained the sharpness throughout the job. And lasted a few drops, staying closed.

Sharp Snips

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Maintain sharpness and made quick work of a metal stud job. I used the snips to cut metal studs on a basement remodel. The snips were easy to use and maintained the sharpness for the whole job. I used them the same week to replace a flue pipe. Great snips!

Great leverage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used a lot of “reds” over the years. These are a solid feeling pair. Recently used for cutting aluminum floor trim and the sharpness and leverage was great for the thicker material. The inch gauge on blades was useful for stopped cuts. Handle is comfortable and doesn’t move when leverage is cranked on them.

Solid feeling snips

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these snips while fitting flooring trim. Solid feel and clean cuts through heavy gauge aluminum trim. Handles are very comfortable. Solid feeling and did not rack. Blades are sharp and the gauge markings on the blade are very useful for a stepped cut.

I Love These Snips!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cutting edges on these aviation snips are over 1 1/2" and the blades are marked in 1/8" increments to show the length of the cut. The grips are very well made and combined with the double pivot providing compound leverage it makes cutting metal easy & comfortable. Making straight & right turn cuts is so easy! A tool designed to last a lifetime!

Smooth cutting snips

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed was how nicely formed the grips are on these aviation snips. With the double pivot providing compound leverage it makes cutting easy & comfortable. Straight & left turn cuts are a breeze with these snips. The cutting edges are over 1 1/2" and the blades are marked in 1/8" increments to show the length of the cut. A well made tool that I will be using for a long time.

Great tool and easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They work great!!! I used them to snip away some brake dust shields on a 2008 bmw 335i and they cut through the metal like butter and with little effort to use them I highly recommended the tin snips they are a great tool

Great snips - easy to use and efficient

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was adding to my HVAC system in the basement and had a lot of new pipes to install. The snips were very easy to use, and the straight blades made cutting out flaps to fit other pipes into a breeze. These are the most comfortable snips I have ever used. The cutting effort is much less than my old snips so it made the job more enjoyable, easier and I was able to work longer before my hand became tired. I experienced no dulling, even when cut...

Great quality and super comfortable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was adding to my HVAC system in the basement and had a lot of new pipes to install. The snips were very easy to use, and the angled blades made cutting out holes to fit other pipes into a breeze. I am right-handed, so having a left-curving blade made cutting the "circles" out of the pipe much easier than the old pair of right-cutting snips. These are the most comfortable snips I have ever used. The cutting effort is much less than my old sn...

Left aviation snips

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use these aviation snips for cutting out small designs mainly out of .012 shin stock. They cut very smoothly with very little forage and have a comfortable grip. They have a nice locking feature to keep them compact for storage.

Right aviation snips

Sometimes you need to go right

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed to replace a straight cut pair, and since I had another straight set, I'd try out the right aviation snips. Now I hadn't really used these before, just forced the straight pair to cut the way I wanted. Well, these snips make it much easier for the cuts I need, and they go well with my straight set.

Irwin metal snips

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used various pairs of snips over the years and these are tops in my book. The grips and handles are very comfortable to use. Tge snip itself is very sharp and solidly made. I really loved the the measuring marks on the front of the snip blades. Makes it very easy to gauge depth when cutting.

Great poiers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve owned many other brands of aviation poiers In the past, but none have felt as well built as this one. Ergonomically fits my hands perfectly and seems to have the strength and quality to handle any materials I can throw at it!

Well built

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great ergonomics, feels great in the hand and comfortable. Strong jaws that will make cutting a breeze. One of the nicest aviation pliers I’ve owned. Looks to be many years of use based on the quality I see now!
