− | [[image:tinsnips.jpg|right|thumbnail|Tin Snip cutting tool]]'''Tin snips''' are tools used to cut thin sheet metal. They use the same principles as common [[scissors]], but are able to handle thicker and harder material. There are three different types of tin snips; straight cutting, left cutting, and right cutting. Straight cutting snips (typically yellow) will cut in a straight line, left cutting snips (usually red) will cut in a curve to the left, and right cutting snips (usually green) will cut in a curve to the right. | + | [[image:tinsnips.jpg|right|thumbnail|Tin Snip cutting tool]] |

− | A similar tool called '''aviation snips''' can cut sheet metal with less effort than tin snips.
| |
− | A compound lever mechanism provides greater control with less effort. The serrated jaws prevent slippage and withstand heavy use. Also it is designed with a latch than holds the jaws closed if desired. The insulated handles have the same color-coding as with tin snips described above.

− | A tool called a '''hand notcher''' makes clean V-shaped cuts in sheet metal without slippage. The compound-action handles produce necessary leverage for fast cutting.
