    The M8OS can cut what types of materials?
    These aviation snips cut straight, left, and right with yellow handles for quick identification. This tool can cut low carbon rolled steel with a cutting capacity of 18 gauge low carbon steel. Offset blades provide greater material flow. Designed for both left and right handed individuals.
    What does it mean by offset?
    An offset handle design keeps hands above the material for safety and easier table-top work, while optimized handle contact points and an index finger “control channel” improve cutting power and increase stability.
