Product Description
Milwaukee Right Angle Snips Left Cutting
Model Number: 48-22-4511
The Milwaukee 48-22-4511 are Right Angle Snips in the Left Cutting configuration — specialty sheet metal snips with blades oriented at 90° to the handle axis for cutting sheet metal in tight spaces and around obstacles where standard straight-handle aviation snips cannot achieve the required cutting angle. The right angle blade orientation allows the snip handles to be positioned parallel to the work surface while the blades cut perpendicular — enabling cuts along walls, into corners, around ductwork flanges, and in the confined access positions of installed HVAC systems where the standard snip's handle extends outward from the cut direction and contacts the wall or obstruction before the blades can complete the cut. The left-cutting blade geometry is oriented for making left-hand curved cuts and counterclockwise circles in sheet metal from the right angle handle position.
Milwaukee builds the right angle snips with compound-action linkage to reduce the hand force required per cut — important when working in confined positions where the body mechanics of producing high handle force are compromised by the tight work space. Quality blade steel maintains sharp, accurate cuts through standard HVAC gauge sheet metal and ductwork. The right angle snips are an essential specialty tool for HVAC sheet metal service and installation work where ductwork modification and fitting in installed systems requires cutting in positions that standard aviation snips cannot reach effectively. Left-cutting and right-cutting configurations are available for different directional cut orientations.
