Snips Straight Stainless Steel BESSEY D15AL Cutting Capacity 1mm

The BESSEY D15AL straight stainless steel snips are designed for precise cutting of stainless steel sheets up to 1 mm thickness. With an overall length of 180 mm and a weight of 180 g, this compact tool offers controlled, accurate cuts for sheet metal and similar materials. The cutting head is extremely compact to enable access to narrow radii and hard-to-reach spots, while stainless construction supports durability in repeated use.

Advantages

The extremely compact cutting head provides outstanding manoeuvrability and allows cutting into tight radii and confined areas. A practical one-hand locking mechanism combines bar and arrester to open and close the tool easily while limiting maximum blade opening. Compound leverage reduces the manual force needed, improving productivity and decreasing hand fatigue. Ergonomic handles with soft cushion inserts on plastic grips increase comfort and help prevent slipping during use.

Suitable for

• Cutting stainless steel sheets up to 1 mm
• Precision trimming and shaping of metal panels
• Accessing tight or confined work areas

How to use

Position the snips so the blade meets the stainless steel sheet at the desired cutting line. Use steady, controlled strokes while keeping the compact head aligned with tight radii or confined areas. Engage the locking mechanism when storing or transporting the tool to secure the blades. Apply moderate, even pressure; the compound leverage reduces the required hand force compared to simple shear designs.

Recommendations

For best results, keep blades clean and dry after use and periodically check the locking mechanism for proper function. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when cutting metal. Do not attempt to cut materials thicker than the rated 1 mm stainless steel capacity.
