Geepas Left Cut Aviation Snip, 250mm, Suitable for Curved Cuts in Sheet Metal & Ducting

Geepas GT59113 is a heavy-duty left-cut aviation snip designed to make clean, precise cuts in thin metals and related materials. It’s suitable for aluminium up to 18 gauge, as well as materials like wire mesh, copper, leather, and certain plastics. The left-cut design helps when trimming along edges on the left side of your cutting path.

The tool features a 250 mm cutting blade. It’s capable of cleanly cutting up to 18 gauge aluminium and similar light-to-medium gauge metals and plastics, making it ideal for hobbyist and light professional projects.

It uses a left-offset twin spiral spring and textured, dual-molded handles. These features provide a comfortable, secure grip and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive cuts, while the offset design helps with hand and wrist positioning.

The snips feature hardened and tempered steel blades that are chrome-plated for corrosion resistance and durability. The body is constructed from zinc alloy, which provides strength while keeping the tool relatively lightweight.

After use, wipe off any debris and store in a dry place. The built-in lock button helps keep the blades closed when not in use, which protects the blades and makes storage safer.

Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves, secure the workpiece firmly, cut away from your body, and keep fingers clear of the blade path. Use smooth, steady motions and avoid forcing a cut beyond the tool’s capacity.

Ideal for trimming and shaping thin metals and plastics, including aluminium, copper, leather, wire mesh, and certain plastics. It’s well-suited for light-to-medium gauge projects such as fabricating small metal brackets, ductwork trimming, or DIY sheet metal work.

Use the lock button to keep the blades closed when you’re not cutting. This protects both the blades and your hands during storage and transport. Store in a toolbox or drawer where it’s protected from moisture.

The GT59113 emphasizes a 250 mm blade length, left-cut geometry, and a zinc-alloy body with chrome-plated blades for corrosion resistance. When comparing with other left-cut snips on Fepy, consider blade length, cutting capacity, handle comfort, and spring mechanism to match your project needs. If you’re choosing between models, you might look for similar blade length and a comfortable grip in other left-cut options.

Left-cut snips trim bias to the left side of the cut line, which is helpful for certain edge-trimming tasks and for users who work primarily on the left side. If you frequently cut along edges in the opposite direction or need symmetry on both sides, you might consider adding a right-cut or straight-cut model to your toolkit to cover all orientations.

Consider blade durability (hardened tempered chrome-plated steel), blade length (250 mm for longer cuts), material compatibility (18 gauge aluminium and plastics), and user comfort features (offset design, twin-spring, textured grips). If those align with your typical projects, the GT59113 offers solid performance at a competitive price point for light-to-medium gauge work.

Keep the blades clean and lightly oiled to reduce friction, align the material with the blade edge before starting the cut, use smooth, steady strokes rather than forcing the blade, and support large or flexible sheets to prevent bending or snagging during a cut.
