Milwaukee Right Cutting Aviation Snips
Model Number: 48-22-4550
The Milwaukee 48-22-4550 is a pair of Right Cutting Aviation Snips built for long life and clean cuts in sheet metal. Right cutting means the snips cut in a straight line and curve to the right, and by the standard color convention this right-cut snip has green handles for instant identification. This is the in-line, or straight-handle, version of Milwaukee's aviation snips, with the handles running straight in line with the blades rather than the raised 45-degree offset of the offset snips, which many tradespeople prefer for straight, flat cutting and for the familiar feel of a traditional aviation snip. The blades are forged with laser-hardened edges for durability and long life, since forged blades deliver up to 10X more cuts than cast blades, and the sharp serrated edges grip the metal to produce smooth, clean, controlled cuts rather than slipping or distorting the material. These snips cut up to 22-gauge stainless steel and up to 18-gauge cold-rolled steel.
The details are what hold up over a full day of cutting. BOLT LOCK keeps the pivot bolt from loosening over time, one of the most common ways aviation snips lose their clean cutting action, and the chrome plating protects the blades from rust and corrosion to extend the tool's life. The color-coded handles make it easy to pull the right snip from a pouch or off the bench when left, right, and straight cutters are all in the kit. A one-handed metal lock secures the snips closed for safe storage and carry and operates easily with a single hand. The handles are designed for low-effort cutting, and the ergonomic grips cut down hand fatigue on repetitive work, with a lanyard hole for tethering when working at height.
Aviation snips use a compound-leverage design that multiplies hand force to shear through metal with less effort, making them a staple across HVAC and ductwork, roofing, gutter work, metal fabrication, electrical, and general sheet-metal trades. This right-cutting pair handles straight lines and right-hand curves, and it pairs naturally with a left-cutting snip and a straight-cutting snip so a tradesperson has full directional coverage for any cut. Durable, comfortable, and precise, the 48-22-4550 is a reliable everyday cutter for anyone who works with sheet metal and prefers the in-line handle.
