Cutting Tools, Snips and Knives

Use the Malco C5R Crimper to downsize stove pipe and round metal duct to create a male connection for joining sections. The five blades of this versatile job-site hand tool produce a 1-5/8 inch (41.28 mm) long, shallow, double crimp that replicates factory indentations and ensures a tight fitting, leak-proof connection. The connection is also more self-supporting during installation. A handle closing stop maintains a consistent crimp. Hardened all-steel construction and a nickel chrome finish ensure long service life. The Malco C5R Crimper also features ergonomic RedLine Handle technology. An Engineered handle opening compliments the natural power stroke of any user's hand and maximizes the powerful 7:1 mechanical advantage of compound-leverage head to handle linkage. Comfortable handle grip contours, a non-slip grip insert, spring handle actuation and a thumb-operated handle latch ensure a natural fit and feel for comfortable one hand operation anywhere on the job.

IRWIN Aviation Snips Left and Straight combine cutting power and user comfort. They feature hot-drop forged steel blades that have a sharp, strong and durable cutting edge and ProTouch grips that offer exceptional tool control and a comfortable feel in your hand. Irwin aviation snips have a multi-pivot, compound mechanism that creates more cutting force with less effort, reducing hand fatigue, and an E-Z close latch keeps cutter blades secure when you are not using the tool. These Irwin snips can make straight or left cuts in materials such as 23-gauge stainless steel or 18-gauge cold-roll steel. They are 11-3/4 inches long and have a 3-1/8-inch cut length.

Crescent Wiss® has taken the Aviation Snip to the next level with the advanced MetalMaster® Aviation Snips. The precision-cast molybdenum blades have CNC-ground serrations which allow for more uniform serrations that provide a cleaner cut every time. They feature extended pivot bolt life due to the superior free-float design. The spring-action design allows for fast, effortless feed. The all-new latch design provides ergonomic single-handed operation for left or right handed users. New extended non-slip handle grips give users better control while cutting. The new generation of Crescent Wiss MetalMaster® will cut over 8 miles of steel and feature up to 10 times longer cut life than traditional Aviation Snips. They are available in left/straight cut, right/straight cut, and straight cut.
