CRESCENT/WISS®
Offset Straight Snip
Crescent/Wiss®, a premier brand of hand tools from Apex Tool Group, announces its new Offset Straight Snips. These snips have been designed for safety and performance, allowing users to cut sheet metal more safely with offset blades that keep hands clear of the work while cutting. Compound lever action, combined with precision-cast serrated blades, reliably cuts up to 18‑gauge steel with 20 percent less effort. Blade serrations grip the material and spread the cutting force across the blade, improving cut quality as well as enhancing tool life. Spring action provides smooth, effortless feed, even when cutting heavy stock and tight curves. For more, visit
