The ToughBuilt Bulldog Aviation Snips are ideal for short, tough cuts. Forged blades with induction hardened cutting edges deliver up to 10 times more cuts than cast blades. They are built for long life and durability and backed by a Full Lifetime Warranty. The patent pending ergonomic grip design allows 2 cutting positions: rearward grip for maximum leverage, and forward grip for maximum control. The flush pivot bolt will not hang up on material for easy use. The metal lock secures the tool for storage and is easily operated with one hand. These snips are built to meet the rigorous demands of HVAC and framing professionals.
