Straight aviation snips with compound leverage, 24 cm long, for short straight cuts and shaped cuts with a large angle to the right and left. The Erdi snips have micro-toothed blades that stop the sheet from slipping in the cut.
The compound leverage and the straight blade geometry make the snips a tool for sheet metal work where straight and shaped cutting belong to the same operation.

- Micro-toothed blades against slipping.
- Straight version for short straight cuts.

- Compound leverage in the handles.
- Low weight of 0.390 kg.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are aviation snips D16S suitable for shaped cutting?
Yes. Aviation snips D16S are made for short straight cuts and shaped cuts with a large angle to both the right and left, and the blades have micro-teeth that stop the sheet from slipping.
What sets aviation snips D16S apart from other tin snips?
Aviation snips D16S are straight, 24 cm long, with compound leverage and micro-toothed blades. That sets them apart from snips without leverage and from snips with smooth blade edges, where the sheet slips more easily in the cut.
