Question 8

How do the ST93204 snips compare to the SATA ST93203 (12" straight pattern)?

Accepted Answer

The ST93204 is longer at 14", which can improve cutting efficiency on larger straight cuts, while the ST93203 (12") is more compact and lighter for smaller, tighter spots. The longer blade on the ST93204 also provides a different cutting reach and leverage.

The ST93204 uses a straight-pattern design for straight cuts, while the ST93205 uses an angled pattern for cuts in tighter or awkward spaces. Choose ST93204 for straight-line precision and longer reach; choose ST93205 when access is limited and an angled approach is needed.
