UNMATCHED SHEET METAL CLEARANCEFor the professional contractor managing heavy-gauge ductwork or intricate roofing flashing, the Milwaukee 48-22-4568 represents a significant leap in hand-tool metallurgy and mechanical leverage. These snips are engineered with a 45-degree offset handle that keeps your hands safely above the material, eliminating the common issue of jagged metal edges snagging during long-run cuts. Built with forged steel blades that undergo a precision laser-hardening process, this tool ensures a clean, burr-free edge while maintaining its razor-sharp profile significantly longer than standard stamped-steel alternatives. / 45-Degree Offset Geometry: Keeps hands clear of the cutting surface for safer, continuous straight and left-curve cuts. / 3-Inch Long Cut Blades: Maximizes linear productivity by allowing for more material removal per stroke compared to standard snips. / BOLT LOCK™ Technology: Prevents the blades from loosening over time, ensuring consistent cutting tension and eliminating mechanical drift. / Laser-Hardened Serrated Edges: Delivers superior grip on slick sheet metal, preventing slippage and providing a smooth, professional finish. / One-Handed Metal Swing Lock: Provides secure tool closure for transport and storage with a simple, ergonomic thumb operation.
