Special Hardness Aviation Snips
(Models: SSP6716S, SSP6716L, SSP6716R, SSP6510L, SSP6510R)
The Midwest Snips® Special Hardness Aviation Snips or "SSP" models are specially heat-treated for cutting hardened sheet materials such as stainless steel, inconel, titanium, etc. The additional hardness of the blades extends the edge life of the blade when cutting extremely hard metal. The cutting capacity is not increased by the additional hardness of the blades. While "SSP" models feature hardened blades, blades of "P" models are stronger and more durable. Therefore, SSP models should only be used for cutting very hard materials. All other features and benefits of these products are identical to "P" series models except handle grip color. All "SSP" models have orange handle grips.
