We’ve got both right handed and left handed folks in the house so we ordered one of each. As a “rightie,” I swear the “leftie” pair is easier for me to use. The locking clasp is the main reason. When done, I can lock the snips with my right thumb using the Leftie Snips. On the “rightie” snips, the lock is tough to get to since my index finger is wrapped around the grip. Odd..unless they’re used “upside down.”Note the rating: Excellent Quality, Excellent Value. Four stars for the Right vs. Left debate.Functionally, the snips are great. A nice, tight scissor motion, cuts great with a good mechanical advantage. Another quality Klein tool in that respect. Also, the snips unlock automatically with a tight squeeze of the handle.But right hand versus left: As a right handed person I prefer the left handed snips. See picture…

These Klein Aviation snips are great and work great, the wire cutter is an added benefit. They are very accurate and easy to work through sheet metal. Very good for cutting circles and corners. They easily slip into pants pockets so you can keep them close and handy all the time. Klien tools are always a step up.The handles are very easy to grasp and hold onto.

These Klein (Left) Aviation Snips with Wire Cutter are very good. These new Klein Snips will do very well for me. I used them to cut a 3-5/8” circle out of a piece of 22 gauge galvanized sheet metal I had laying around. They worked quite well and would probably do well on even smaller circular cuts, and on thicker metal (Klein says up to 18 ga.). While I’m not one to use metal snips to cut wire, I have seen some ruined by users doing so. The wire cutter on these works very well, at least on tie (bailing) wire.

Aviation Snips with Right Wire Cutter – I have several sets of different brand aviation snips and use them for installing aluminum soffit and fascia and vinyl siding on houses and occasionally grid systems for acoustic panel ceilings. For the most part they all cut these materials fine, but the Kline snips just feel better in my hand and they easily cut through galvanized sheet metal and ductwork. The grips on the Kline snips are more substantial and noticeably better than those on other snips I own. These are definitely professional quality tools.

This review is for the Klein Left Cutting Aviation Snips Model 1200L.I’m a homeowner – DIY’er, not a pro metal worker, so my review will come from that standpoint.There are three types of aviation snips, Right Cut, Left Cut, and Straight Cut. On left cutting snips like the Klein 1200L the scrap metal that is being cut away curls up on the right side of the cut while the left side of the cut remains flat. So, depending on how you want the work to go, you’ll use right, left, or straight cut snips. Straight cut snips don’t curl up waste material on either side, but aren’t designed for deep cuts, more for making notches in metal. The Klein has a comfortable grip and the handles have a ‘spring open’ action that makes cutting much easier – there’s no need to force the handles apart to get the next cut going.The cutters on the Klein do a nice job of trimming metal – about all you could wish for in a set of aviation snips.There’s a lanyard hole in one of the handle ends (see photo below) for securing the snips when working at a height, or the hole can be used to hang the snips from pegboard. When not in use the handles secure with a handle lock (see photo below).Industry standards generally hold that the handles be color coded to show at a glance what type of cut the snips make – Straight Cut (yellow), Left Cut (red), and Right Cut (green) – and the Klein follows that standard, having red markings on the handle. Makes it nice when you’re grabbing snips out of a toolbox. The snips are also stamped with an “L” to indicate which type of cut they make.Fit and finish is excellent. Overall a nice, reasonably priced set of metal snips.The 1200L model is not made in the U.S., but Klein warranties the tool against defects for the expected lifetime of the tool and, of course, Home Depot offers their 90-day return policy.HTHRegards,Jim

Having only owned straight snips prior to this, I now see why owning a left and a right, in addition to the straight is almost a must for anyone who works with thin sheet metal goods like aluminum, steel, brass & copper. The left or right cutting snips leaves a good quality, flat product on the “good product” side while slightly bending up the opposing “waste” side of the cut. The gap between the cutting surfaces is (basically) 0 so it leaves a good quality cut. Well built, robust & ready for a DIY or Pro user alike.

The addition of a wire cutter on these snips is an excellent feature because I am always needing to cut a wire when I am working with snips and I don’t want to ruin my snip blades. However, 12 gauge wire, the most common type I cut, barely fits in the cutter. The handle is comfortable and the locking paw is well placed and easy to reach. The true mark of good snips is that they cut all the way to the end of the blades so you can get into bent corners and these cut right to the tip. The spring action in the handles pop them open very naturally.

These are excellent quality snips. No shortcuts on the construction. This is the type of tool that will last a lifetime. I got these to replace a brand X pair I had gotten from a friend. I do metal fabrication and build hybrid furniture. There are times when I great pair of snips are required to custom cuts on sheet metal. So far these snips have filled every demand I put on them. Certainly worth your money.

these are excellent. Most Kline tools are. they have sturdy grips and solid, steel construction. They also have integral wire cutter, which is extremely convenient for electrical work. The snip portion does not have a particularly large bite, but is strong and more than sufficient to cut through anything. They are heavy and durable and an excellent addition to a tool chest.

These snips have a great balance and weight to them. They’re sharp right out of the package and made quick work of some aluminum fascia I installed. The grips have a nice coat to them so your hand is comfortable and the blades are sharp so there’s not a lot of strain to cut. These snips went through aluminum fascia, vinyl soffits and sheet metal with ease. Definitely a must have in your tool box.

These snips are very well designed and made with high quality material. They are sturdy and solid, a nice weight and size.The cutting edge was sharp and the snipping action was very smooth and easy. I’m not sure how well they will work with thicker material yet, but I have faith.Overall, I would recommend these to anyone looking for snips that you can count on working every time you need them.

Impressive!! Cuts through Steel Metal Lath like a knife through butter. I used these snips to prepare some lath for a stucco patch. Very comfortable to use. Has soft grip handles. Nothing cheap about these cutters. Very well made and sturdy. These snips are right cutting that is why the green handle. Have a spring Loaded latch and a hang hole. They come color coded. Green Grip = Right Cutting, Yellow Grip = Straight Cutting, Red Grip = Left Cutting. All have a built-in wire cutter.

The spring action in the handle opens the blades naturally. The blades will leave little tooth-like tool marks on the surface of the edge you cut. The cut edge is smooth and straight.

I had the opportunity to evaluate these aviation snipe. They are commonly referred to as TIN snips compound snips and duct snips. They are RED color coded as LEFT or straight cutting. These snips cut very well and are a great brand. I have never had any issue with them when cutting duct,wire, flat thin steels and aluminum. These are now my GOTO tool for these applications.

Aviation snips are one of those must have tools in my garage. This Klien aviation “tin” snip (right version) is great for cutting thin metals and other materials that just can’t be cut with traditional scissors or snips. Additionally, there is an integrated wire cutter for those jobs when you’re cutting wire. metals and strapping and need a multi-function tool. The handle is made of nice insulative rubber plastic material that offers a firm grip while cutting through hard materials – even when wearing gloves. Unlike some of my other brand aviation snips, the scissor blades on the Klien don’t displace when cutting thicker materials and stays aligned for maximum cutting efficiency. Overall, I’m very pleased with the quality of this tool.
