The World's Best Snips

Blade Life

The blade life and cutting performance of Midwest's aviation and tinner snips are lab and field-test proven to exceed that of all other manufacturer's snips.

Durability

Midwest's blades are stronger, more durable, and outlast all others in cutting-edge life because they are formed from a hot drop-forging process and are not stamped or cast.

Performance

Midwest's blades require the least amount of hand pressure to complete a cut and stay in adjustment longer than any other manufacturer's snips.
