The HURRICANE 3-piece tin snips set is built for HVAC technicians, roofers, metal fabricators and dedicated DIYers who need a compact, color-coded toolkit for precise straight and curved cuts. It’s ideal for projects that demand repeated, predictable cuts in thin sheet materials and for anyone who prefers dedicated snips for left and right curves rather than forcing a single tool to do everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can these snips cut stainless steel?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — they cut up to 22-gauge stainless steel.
