STANLEY FATMAX Compound Action Aviation Snips Set (Left Cut 14-562, Straight Cut 14-563, Right Cut 14-564)
-
The STANLEY® FATMAX® Aviation Snips feature a high-leverage compound leverage design that multiplies cutting force while reducing user fatigue. Designed with induction-hardened, forged chrome-molybdenum alloy steel blades, these snips deliver precise, burr-free cuts across cold-rolled steel up to 18-gauge ($1.2\text{ mm}$) and stainless steel up to 23-gauge ($0.7\text{ mm}$). Laser-etched serrations on the cutting edges grip material firmly during operation to prevent slipping. Equipped with a single-handed automatic latch release, an internal double-overwind spring for long service life, and color-coded slip-resistant bi-material cushion grips for comfort and quick identification.
