Midwest Snips® Aviation Snips Offer Stronger Blades And More Handle Comfort


Sturgis, Michigan, September 2 , 2003 --- Midwest Tool And Cutlery Company, announces a number of improvements to their Midwest Snips® brand aviation snips. All models feature hot drop-forged steel blades with added strength. Said to be virtually unbreakable in normal use, the stronger blades are the result of extensive research and testing involving material flow and die design by metallurgical and forge industry experts.

The handles of Midwest Snips aviation snips are now more ergonomic in design. They open to an optimum 5-1/2 inches for faster, easier gripping. In addition, softer copolymer handle grips provide more comfort for hands, especially during extended periods of use. The grips contain no PVC and are recyclable.

The center pivot bolt on Midwest Snips offset model aviation snips now feature a Torx® head. This makes blade re-adjustment easier, if ever needed, extending the cutting life of the snips. Plus, the center pivot bolt is threaded into the bottom blade to keep blades in adjustment longer, a feature unique to all models of Midwest Snips aviation snips.

The result of these improvements was demonstrated in tests at an independent laboratory. Midwest Snips aviation snips required less hand pressure for cutting than competitor models. Midwest Snips aviation snips exceed all ASME Industrial Standards for quality and are made in the U.S.A. Visit www.midwestsnips.com for more information.
