Right Offset Aviation Snip

The Westward 1UG16 is a right offset aviation snip designed for cutting sheet metal and similar materials. Its offset blade geometry keeps the user's hand above the workpiece for better control during straight or curved cuts. This hand tool suits maintenance technicians, sheet-metal fabricators and DIY users who need a reliable cutting tool for occasional or daily use.

1 1/4 in Cutting Length

The cutting edge measures 1 1/4 inches, which determines the maximum depth of cut in a single stroke. This dimension decides whether the snip can handle the material thickness and tight curves required by a specific job. Buyers who need a longer cutting edge for wider sheets or heavier gauge metal should verify this length against their application requirements.

Steel Blade Durability

The blades are made from steel and maintain their edge through repeated use on sheet metal. Under sustained cutting the offset design reduces binding and distributes force evenly along the blade. Users who require specialised coatings or replaceable blades for high-volume production will find this model lacks those features.

Questions about this item

What does the 1 1/4 in cutting length mean when I am trimming sheet metal?

It gives a maximum straight cut of 1 1/4 inches per stroke, so you make shorter, controlled cuts in ductwork or flashing.

How does the right-hand offset blade affect the cut path?

The offset blades sit below the handles, letting the material pass above your hand for a clear view and straight cuts to the right.

What clearance does the 9 3/4 in overall length need in a tool bag?

At 9 3/4 inches long it fits standard tool pouches and hangs from a pegboard hook without protruding.
