Milwaukee 48-22-4562 10″ Straight Cut Offset Aviation Snips

The Milwaukee 48-22-4562 Straight Cut Offset Aviation Snips are designed for efficient, low-effort cutting in sheet metal and other thin materials. Built with forged steel blades and laser-hardened cutting edges, these snips provide clean, reliable cuts with extended durability. Their offset handle design gives users added clearance over the work surface, allowing material to flow away from the hand while keeping the cut line visible. This makes them ideal for longer straight cuts, even in tight or awkward spaces. Serrated blades help grip material during cutting, while Milwaukee’s BOLT LOCK™ technology keeps blades securely fastened over time.

These aviation snips are engineered for professionals working in construction, HVAC, metalworking, and general maintenance. The chrome-plated finish protects against rust, and the comfort grip handles reduce hand fatigue during repeated use. Color-coded handles offer quick identification, and a one-handed swing lock allows for easy tool storage and access on busy job sites.
