Designed for mechanical insulation contractors, HVAC installers, sheet metal fabricators, roofers, and industrial maintenance crews, MIDWEST MWT-6716R Right Cut Aviation Snips deliver exceptional cutting power while reducing hand fatigue throughout the workday. Whether you’re trimming ductwork, cutting aluminum jacketing, fabricating flashing, or shaping sheet metal components, these aviation snips provide the precision and durability needed for professional results.

Manufactured with GLIDETECH® hot drop-forged molybdenum alloy steel blades, MIDWEST MWT-6716R Right Cut Aviation Snips are engineered for outstanding edge retention, strength, and long service life. The finely serrated cutting edges grip material securely to help prevent slipping while producing smooth, controlled cuts from the heel of the blade to the tip. Their compound leverage mechanism multiplies cutting force, allowing users to cut with less effort while maintaining excellent control over every pass.

The ergonomic KUSH’N-POWER® handles provide a comfortable, non-slip grip that helps reduce fatigue during extended use. A heavy-duty double-overwind spring automatically opens the blades after each cut for faster production, while the secure safety latch keeps the blades closed when stored or transported. MIDWEST MWT-6716R Right Cut Aviation Snips are designed for making straight cuts and wide right curves and are especially effective when used in the left hand, giving tradespeople outstanding maneuverability in tight working conditions.
