| Revolutionary New Upright
Snips Aviation Snip Improves Sheet Metal Cutting |
 Sturgis
Michigan, August 15, 2004 -- Midwest Tool And Cutlery
Company has introduced the Upright Snips™, a revolutionary
new compound leverage aviation snip that significantly
improves cutting sheet metal and other materials for the
contractor, tradesman and do-it-yourself user. Available
in both right and left cutting models, the Upright Snips™
incorporate a patent pending right angle 90 handle to
blade design.
The benefits of this revolutionary patent pending design
are: a unique push or pull cutting motion; the ability
to turn or rotate the snip in the hand while cutting circles;
and improved ergonomics. The result is easier cutting
in tight spaces, overhead and at waist level because there
is no bending or breaking of the wrist. The snips provide
improved safety by elevating hands above metal working
surfaces. Faster, easier and safer cutting leads to improved
productivity, which is a key benefit for professional
and do-it-yourself users alike.
Upright Snips™ are rated to cut 24-gauge sheet metal
(28-gauge stainless steel) and incorporate the same quality
features and components as all Midwest Snips® aviation
snips. These include: unbreakable forged molybdenum steel
blades; a threaded center pivot bolt to keep blades in
adjustment; heavy duty double overwind spring; soft copolymer
grips; and ergonomic, strong handles with an optimum 5˝-in.
