Product Description
Milwaukee Right Cutting Aviation Snips
Model Number: 48-22-4520
The Milwaukee 48-22-4520 are Right Cutting Aviation Snips — professional-grade compound-action sheet metal cutting snips for making right-hand curved cuts and straight cuts in sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, flashing, and light sheet metal fabrication work. The right-cutting designation indicates the blade geometry is oriented for cutting to the right of the cut line — making right-curving cuts, clockwise circles, and right-hand directional cuts where the scrap metal curls away to the right side of the blade during cutting for unobstructed cutting progress. For HVAC ductwork fabrication, flashing installation, and sheet metal work where both straight and curved cuts are required, having the correctly oriented aviation snip prevents the scrap metal from curling into the cutting path and obstructing the blades mid-cut.
Milwaukee engineers the aviation snip with compound-action linkage that multiplies the hand grip force applied at the handles into substantially more cutting force at the blades than direct-action snips — reducing the hand effort required per cut, particularly important in extended sheet metal cutting sessions where hand fatigue with direct-action snips would slow production pace. The blade steel and serration geometry maintain clean, accurate cuts through 26-gauge and lighter sheet metal across the cutting range HVAC and sheet metal work requires. Milwaukee's snip handles incorporate bright color coding — red for left-cutting, green for right-cutting, and yellow for straight — for immediate identification in the tool pouch during active sheet metal work.
