Crescent Wiss Next Generation Aviation Snips

Crescent Wiss Next Generation Aviation Snips are built for sheet metal professionals who demand durability, precision, and cutting performance. Designed for HVAC installation, metal fabrication, roofing, siding, and construction applications, these aviation snips last 60% longer and require 20% less force to cut, on average, compared to previous-generation Wiss snips. Precision-cast blades and proprietary serrations deliver cleaner cuts, longer blade life, and improved control.

Wiss compound action "aviation snips" like these from the late 1940s were a key tool for cutting aircraft sheet metal during WWII and became best sellers after the war ended.

By the 1990s, Wiss aviation snips featured their iconic yellow, red, and green comfort grips, improved blades, a stronger spring, and new pivot geometry.

The latest Crescent Wiss Next Generation snips stay true to form with new ergonomic features and the best performing, longest lasting blades we've ever made.
