Product Description
Milwaukee 12 in. Classic Tinner Snips
Model Number: 48-22-4002
The Milwaukee 48-22-4002 are 12 in. Classic Tinner Snips — professional-grade straight-cutting sheet metal snips for HVAC duct fabrication, sheet metal work, and light-gauge metal cutting applications where the classic tinner snip design's wide, flat blade profile and large handle provide the combination of straight-line cut quality, cutting leverage, and operator comfort that HVAC sheet metal fabricators and installers have relied on for sheet metal work. Milwaukee's Classic Tinner features forged blades with a 40% larger handle loop than competitive tinner snips, directly addressing the most common complaint about standard tinner snip designs from HVAC workers who wear gloves throughout the workday — the larger loop accommodates gloved hands comfortably for extended cutting sessions without the hand cramping and restricted cut leverage that small standard handle loops cause when gloves prevent the hand from fully seating in the grip.
The duckbill-style wide flat blade keeps sheet metal panels flat during cutting by reducing the upward curl of the cut strip that narrower aviation snip blades produce — on large galvanized steel HVAC duct panels where long straight cuts are being made, the classic tinner's wide blade profile maintains the panel flat alongside the cut line without the progressive curling deformation that makes subsequent seaming and assembly work more difficult. Milwaukee builds the tinner snips with forged blades from quality steel that delivers sustained sharpness and cut quality through the production cutting demands of commercial HVAC sheet metal work — where multiple sheets may be cut per day throughout a duct installation project. The 12 in. overall length provides the handle leverage needed for productive cutting through galvanized steel duct material at the gauge thicknesses used in standard commercial HVAC ductwork fabrication.
For right-hand and left-hand curved cuts where the tinner's straight-cut profile is not ideal, Milwaukee's aviation snip lineup provides left-cut, right-cut, and straight configurations — see Milwaukee's complete sheet metal cutting tool lineup for all available options.
