Wiss Metalmaster Compound Snips

Right Hand/Straight Cut Snips (M-2R)

Ideal for right-handed users, the M-2R Metalmaster Snips are engineered for straight cuts and slight curves. They are perfect for cutting sheet metal, vinyl, plastic, rubber, and many other materials. The precision-ground blades ensure a clean cut every time, making them a go-to tool for HVAC professionals, roofers, and metal fabricators.

Universal Straight Cut Snips (M-1R)

The M-1R model is a versatile option suitable for both left and right-handed users. These snips are specifically designed for straight cuts. They are an excellent choice for general sheet metal work where versatility and ease of use are key. Like the M-2R, they also feature precision-ground blades and comfortable grips, making them ideal for prolonged use.

Straight or Curves Snips (M-3R)

The M-3R Metalmaster Compound Snips are a versatile tool capable of making straight cuts or tight curves. This model is especially useful for intricate work, such as cutting circular ducts or creating custom shapes in metal. They are a favourite among tradespeople who need a single, adaptable tool for various cutting scenarios.

Choosing the Right Wiss Snips

When selecting the right Wiss snips for your project, consider the following:

• Cut Type: If you predominantly make straight cuts, the M-1R is an excellent all-rounder. For right-hand dominant users requiring straight and slight curve cuts, the M-2R is ideal. For more complex shapes, including tight curves, the M-3R offers the greatest flexibility.
• Material Thickness: All these snips are designed to handle standard sheet metal thicknesses. Ensure you choose a pair that matches the thickness of materials you work with most frequently.
• Comfort: Ergonomics is key for tools used frequently. Wiss snips are designed with comfortable handles, but ensure the model you choose feels right in your hand.

Each of these Wiss snips models comes with the guarantee of quality and durability that professionals expect from the Wiss brand. Explore our selection to find the perfect pair of snips for your metalworking projects.
