Expert by Facom Aviation Snips

The Expert by Facom Aviation Snips are professional-grade cutting shears designed for precise sheet metal work across a range of materials including stainless steel and semi-soft steel. Constructed with forged blades, these aviation snips deliver high leverage for clean, controlled cuts with minimal effort. A built-in spring automatically opens the gap between the nose after each cut, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. The slightly serrated blade edge grips the workpiece to prevent slippage, ensuring accurate cutting lines every time. Bi-material handles in a standardised colour code make these snips comfortable to hold and easy to identify at a glance on the job — a practical consideration for busy tradespeople working across multiple tools. Compliant with ASME B 107.16M, these snips are a dependable choice for sheet metalworkers, HVAC engineers, and contractors handling light fabrication tasks.
