 Kusn'n-Kote® Tinner Snips
OTHERS SAY WE "OVER-MANUFACTURE"
If you care about the quality of the tools you use or sell, you’ll appreciate a company that cares about the quality of the tools it makes. At Midwest Tool And Cutlery Company we take pride in manufacturing in the USA the very best tinner snips you can buy anywhere in the world today. From their Kush’n-Kote® gripped handle bows to the tip of their hot drop-forged blades, our tinner snips outperform and outlast all others.

FEEL THE DIFFERENCE!
Each hot drop-forged blade is individually fitted and finish assembled to assure uniform shearing action. The Grade-8 blade pivot bolt provides maximum wear resistance and is affixed into the bottom blade. A special design locknut keeps the blades in adjustment. This feature also allows blades to be re-adjusted if necessary after extensive use. Wave washers that are used by other manufacturers to hold blades in adjustment frequently "spring" allowing blades to loosen and separate. Blades that are loose or out of adjustment allow material to wedge sideways between the blades instead of precision cutting. Each Midwest Snips Kush’n-Kote® tinner snip is individually inspected and test cut prior to leaving the factory and each performs superior to ASME Standard B107.500-2010(B107.16) performance requirements.
MagSnips® Replaceable Blade Snips
FEEL THE DIFFERENCE!
Light in weight magnesium handles weigh less than one pound making them easy to use with less fatigue than traditional forged tinner snips when cutting materials up to 22 gauge cold-rolled sheet steel. Replaceable blades are economical and practical. Wide blade opening facilitates cutting through nail lips and ribbed roofing and siding materials. Long length of cut requires fewer re-grips resulting in a smooth finished cutting edge.

Available in versatile straight blade pattern (yellow) or tradesman preferred left (red) and right (green) offset blade patterns. Blade pattern is easily distinguished by color coded handle insert.
