![How To Use Aviation (Tin) Snips [3 Colors]](/img/1.gif)
I’m a roofer in New Zealand, 99% of our work is metal roofing, we use the wiss and Midwest offset snips ( Midwest’s mainly for flashings) . You’ll find if you turn your snips upside down they’ll add another set of cuts to your arsenal and they offcuts will peel down rather than up.
Midwest are the best I've tried every brand and I always could get by with just the greens if I had to buy we used 16 g Sheet metal and sometimes the cuts had to be perfect and Midwest are the best I've used
This gay guy is annoying
What Terry said basically. But flipping them upside down can turn one set of snips into its opposite. What do I mean my that? Reds putting the cut/waste material on the left side; when flipped upside down will put waste/cut material on the right side. This will keep you from having to swap in most situations. I rotate and use red and green when I can for it’s practical purpose when I’m doing repetitive left and right cuts, but when it’s quick small stuff I need to cut, I’ll cut the not
Al way with a pair of reds then flip them upside down and cut with them.
@@QUANTRELLBISHOP rotating will make no difference at all
@@lukasz070485 wtf are these guys talking about :') still pushes the same side up
My Dad was a metal worker and he never got a chance to teach me this. Thanks for helping me learn about my dads work.
Was told when young green for right turns red for left, yellow for straight and sometimes my cut looked like I used a hatchet , now I know color for direction of waste and finish results are amazing.
Thanks Vince
Me: "This is a great video with good info!"
Guy in navy tee: "Good-freaking-grief how long can he go on about this?!?! I was just making a short cut!!!"
I've always had dramas and difficulties using snips and choosing the correct one for a particular cut. It was even more difficult being a left hander, but you cleared up a lot of things more than anyone else even after being shown dozens of times.
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻
For HVAC Reds for counter clockwise cutting and greens for clockwise. Straights I guess to cut shingles for roof jacks.
Yellow is also great at cutting slock
@@jacobsimerman5281 I normally use my bull nose but they are not long enough to cut straight through.
Great vid Vince!spent time as a 'tin knocker' reds and greens my big Malcos for straight runs. You're right. Whatever you are cutting the waste side curls out the top so as not to ripple your finish side. Be sure to lay the blade flat against work....your wrist will be cocked slightly right or left depending on snip choice. Tip on cutting penetrations in duck work. Place a screwdriver tip on edge in the center of your cut andhit itwith hammer. This will leave a hole. Use either red or greens and cut in a circular motion until you reach near the edge of your finish cut. The metal you've removed looks like a cork screw. Now you can trim the last of your metal for a perfect cut. Sounds like a lot but becomes very quick. Also lose the plastic handle. This will allow your hand to slip around the tool as needed. Keep em coming Vince.
Awesome video. Always have loved my wiss snips. Thanks for the tips. Need more videos like this always
This is very important when installing rain gutters and downspouts. I did that for a few months and using the red or green snips properly makes a big difference. I personally used the Midwest snips over the Malco brand. I found the Midwest to be very smooth and require less force to cut thicker metals over the Malco or big box store brands.
Thanks for the feedback Josh!
Midwest is the best brand. Been using them for 6 years.
Thanks...learned something new! Appreciate it.
AWESOME content Vince!!! Thank you as always for your helpful content!!! You and the rest of VCG ROCK!!! Hope you and the Mrs are on tonight but if not.... HOPE YOU TWO, VCG GANG HAVE THE BEST, SAFEST WEEKEND!!!!!
Thanks Robert, we appreciate you, stay safe my friend!
Great video. Helpful as I’m doing some cuts to hvac ducts.
That's funny I use all three snips to to make perfect cut and my co workers always criticize me because I carry all three on my belt lol I knew I wasn't doing anything wrong
I wonder what their thought process is and what they’re laughing about? I guess the jokes on them!! 👍🏻
Your also 2 snips healthier than your coworkers. 😆
Lol are they laughing cause you carry more tools tgan they cary teeth . Idiots with crinkled cuts .
Depends what your profession is. Of you're a carpenter, then there is no reason to carry all three sets of snips with you at all times. If you're doing fascia, soffit, etc., then that makes sense. If you're framing, or installing cabinets, or doing base/crown...yeah, you're being silly.
Guys will always make fun of each other until it becomes illegal one day
I have these same Wiss snips. This is the first video I've seen that actually explains how the damn things work. It's all about the waste side. THANK YOU!!!! And yes, they seem sharper than your old brand was when you got them - makes perfect sense lol.
Never knew that. Thanks Vince. You make that look very easy. I've always just had a Yellow for home DIY and I've seriously struggled in some cases. I'll have to look at the others.
Thank you Fiddle!
very educational. thank you.
I think I knew this but had forgotten! Thanx VCG!
Many thanks God bless you for sharing your useful experience with us
Thanks for the simple explanation.
Thank you so much for your time making this videos....I am just starting and I have always new they were different but this is the real explanation...great work....
glad you explained that to all of the construction folks. in Aircraft work when you are cutting much thicker aluminum in most cases the L, R, Straight pair are a must. the yellow doeant get used nearly as much as the L and R pair in our world. plus if you see someone that doesnt have all 3 we usually just know that they are either new hire or have no idea what they are doing. tells you how different industries think
Thanks for the feedback Ray !
No doubt, I'm the guy that thought the greens were for right handers...lol I'm right handed social bought them (Milwaukee) no wonder they were out of stock on the yellow ones. Smh. I just needed snips around the house for trim and DIY stuff. I have no business having aviation anything 🙃😆 I thought I was getting a bargain at $14
most people buy yellow so they can see them streams out... lol
Thanks for teaching me something new Vince Didn't know any of this Good informative video
Sweet video guys thanks for showing us how to use them properly, plus it's good for me because, I'm a lefty.
Wow! I totally didn't know. Thanks for educating me.
Thanks for all the examples of using them! That was fantastic over the lip service run into a bunch.
Man This A very Nice Demostration i see using this tools and give me idea what the proper tools I buy. Good Job.
Wow, awesome video - thanks!
very useful explanation. thx!
Thanks for the content. It's helped me understand proper use of these tools, how and why they function the way they do. I've been building barns for a while. Now finding myself in a position of lead more often, I can no longer Wing knowing how to do things properly.
Had no idea the colors signify each unique purpose for cutting waste direction. Super helpful thanks for the tip!
One of your better videos! Thanks
Been subscriber for a minute but haven’t paid close attention to the channel. But man you guys go into damn good detail. Really good shiz man.
Great info. I found this out the hard way after cutting up probably 40 feet of corrugated steel panels. I just couldn't figure out why my cuts were going so poorly until I saw the red handled tool sitting in the tool box lol.
That makes sense thanks for explaining it. I had no i idea.
I have used the greens and reds for years and a pair of big Malco snips for those long runs
Really good vid. Thank you.
Awesome video, thx a lot! You saved my project!
Very informative.... ThankU..!
Thanks for a very informative video! Well presented & full of hands on experience & knowledge! Cheers from Western Australia!
Lolol I totally just watched this even though I would never have to use this on the job. Vince you do an awesome job of making shit interesting.
It all makes sense now lol. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 solid video bud
Midwest offset snips are the way to go!!!!!
Reds and greens will do it all, and cutting circles are a breeze!
I agree Midwest is the best mine are 15 years old and work better than any others
Commercial tin knocker here !
@@trillflaco local 105?
Critical Sheet Metal Apprentice no i wish ... just a commercial company
Useful practicum. 真正的專家！👍
Will be buying the greens & reds great video.. 👍
Blessings from the 🇬🇧 in these very difficult time's
I have done some construction over the yrs. Everything from basic electrical, weathering, roofing, stucco ( which I hate and never do agian my hands were raw) , some framing ( built a barn and a she'd which I turned into a small bedroom) but mostly did ceremic tile only thing in that I didn't learn was lay out. With all the said I learned something on this video I thought they made right cut stright cut and left cut boy was I worng I'm always glad to learn new things.
Great advice Vince. I prefer the yellow for working with roof flashing. 🍻🤙
When I first started out in hvac doing installs 3 and a half years ago I definitely botched some cuts by not using the proper snips lol. The first dozen times using the malco nibbler I always went clock wise thinking it was like using the greens. You live and you learn. Wish i seen this video before making those mistakes lol. Great video man 👍
Thanks Dylan, we appreciate it!
thanks for the video, I recently joined the carpenters union and the journeyman i'm working with told me to just get the reds cause I'm right handed. Now I understand why it was a struggle to cut from some directions and bought all 3 colors to try them out.
Good on ya for pressing forward. Don't let your handicaps slow you down.
One of my favorite tools
That was very informative and it will help me with my work , thank you guys !
Your so informative bigman definitely opened my eyes
Thanks Vince always learn somthing new watching your vids,wishing you all well from the UK
Thanks Steve, we appreciate you!
Reds were my favourite up until now. Now I know how to use them, they are all my favourite. I work with sheet metal everyday.
Great video!! Big ups!!
thank you brother!👍👍👍 ..😁💓💓💓 from the Philippines!👍👍👍
I learned a lot thank you for this!
Happy Saturday, VCG! Keep up the great job 👍🧰👍😍
❤️
Danged if I didn't learn something new!!! Thanks for the lesson and the knowledge Vince! Hope all is healthy and well with the VCG crew and fam, and it stays that way!
Thanks Nate, we appreciate it, stay safe my friend!
awesone!!!! thanks you master!!!
Well I gotta say I learned something new thank you
I'm a GC that always avoided using snips.. Rarely had use for them but when I did, it would always be absolute frustration.. You're video really cleared things up for me and am now looking forward to putting your advise to use.. Thanks for the great info..
Thanks Bobby!
I need to make a few birthday / Christmas present recommendations for me to receive. I only have one color of snips. Great video.
Hi Guys!!! Thanks Vince/Mikey/Nick for this series of videos! With all the stay-at-home virus orders going on, it's a big comfort to watch you guys building stuff and hanging out with us. Any chance of doing any live videos from the work site? :-)
WOW! Brilliant!
Great video, man. Picked up the Crescent Wiss 9-3/4 snipes.
Had no idea the yellow handles served a greater purpose. Thank for the education.
/Bklyn👑
I always thought they were directional so used yellow 100%. Im a lefty. After half of this video i went out and bought a red pair. And man they did make a difference. Thank you guys for showing this!!!
Very educational. Thank you Vince.
Very cool video.
I am a user of the Midway brand. I like the educational format of your resend video.
Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you Stephen!
I laughed loud at 1:06🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
All that American confidence right there on his chin!!!!
Haha I didn't even notice 😂 That's normal for me to see here
Good info. Great video!
Hell ya thanks
I'm a journeyman sheet metal worker with over 20 years experience. I don't own yellow snips and I don't know anyone who does. Reds and greens do everything I need them to do.
Thank you for the feedback Jimbo. A lot of people never use the yellow snips!
Nice Video! Thanks guys.
Thanks for watching!
You guys make this look so easy lol.
Learning a lot that I don't learn in the field. Thank you.
Awesome, thanks Drew!
Wow, all these years I never realized it's just which side you want it to discharge. Thanks Vince!
Ima destroy my boss with my skills now!
very useful
Nice! I didn't know all this. :)
This is helpful
Thx for sharing your knowledge 😊
❤️
I love these videos! I learn a ton from them
Thank you steven!
As a gutter installer i can attest to your correctness on this matter. It’s not over-kill when you want a good looking finish. And it only adds a few seconds. Next time speak to which way you lean/lean the ‘snips’ when cutting. And Wiss are the Cadillac of aviations
I used to install nothing aluminum and I would agree with you 100% the only thing I would add if it's a long cut "scissors" I find are much easier on long cuts and have never had an issue with them
Thanks Karl, we appreciate the feedback!
you really have to lean them a lot when cutting circular holes for downspout drops
@@Wazoo117 there is actually cutters for that!
@@John42832 yea we have the puch that makes the x for 2x3 spouts
but our supplier has oval drops for 3x4 which we dont have a punch for
Great video thank you for making that
Glad it’s helpful Todd
Great video. I find I can cut very smooth straight long lines with yellow easily, as long as you cut off a lot of the waste first.
Great explanation!👍🏻
Great information. Thank you.
Thank you Charles!
Great video
Thanks for sharing! I have always just used yellow but im an electrician and dont do much framing.
Thank you Alex!
Thanks again Vince !!! I knew that there were 3 colors but not sure what each of them did? Great overview of what each one is for. Say hi to the Mrs and God Bless you 🙏🙏 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and videos Rodney
Thanks Rodney, we appreciate it, hope you’re well, and stay safe my friend!
What's your thoughts on Nibblers compared to Double cut shears Vince?
Wooooaaaah!! Thanks vince! I'm going to try that on my L Channel ends in tile showers!!
I never really seen the need for the yellows but after this video I'll be adding them to the tool pouch I personally like my Milwaukee snips but am curious now I might get a set of wiss
That is very nice cutting work. I forgot how these snips worked. I'm going out tomorrow to purchase a set because I have to cut stainless sheet. I had a set but they were stolen years ago and I see on Home Depot that I can buy a set of all 3. Tomorrow I will buy the set. I am a machinist and I'm going to be using the stainless steel sheet to protect A2 tool steel from scaling while I heat treat it.
Just a point of fact: On boats/ships the running lights are RED to port (left) & GREEN to starboard (right)

Never knew! Thanks Vince.
Thank you Tom!
Also good for diffrent angle cuts like duct work or cutting circles
Hey, thanks for that that was actually really informative.
Thank you levi!
Great
A good tutorial on tin snips.
Awesome info man. I'm not sure if it would work in a lot of your situations but you might check out Makitas cordless nibbler.
Damn, VCG this was very informative. 🤙🏻 Thank you.
