Improved Max2000® snips fit any hand without sacrificing cut. Our aviation snips now feature all-new, molded thermoplastic grips. These easy-to-spot, solid color coded grips are permanently fitted over full length steel handle shafts and offer strength, comfort and sure handling. A narrower grip opening accommodates large or small hands to maximize the powerful leverage of compound handle-to-head linkage. A new ambidextrous, one-hand-operation latch is another welcome handle change to all Max2000® snips and features an ingenious all-metal design that will not loosen or hang up with repetitive use. Original Max2000® blade designs remain unchanged and retain the same generous cutting lengths. Max2000® hardened alloy steel blades with precision ground cutting edges ensure a minimal force cut and maximum service life. Sleek head and handle styling offer superior material flow and maximum maneuverability.
