Snips for cutting sheet metal

For sheet metal

— classic manual metal scissors, the main format of which is already clear from the name. In most models, the thickness of the cut (see the relevant paragraph) does not exceed 1.5 mm, although there are also more powerful tools that can work with sheets 2 mm thick and thicker. Scissors of this type can be designed for both straight and curly cuts, depending on the shape of the blades. They are usually relatively small in size and weight.
