Irwin Gilbow General Purpose Tin Snips

These Irwin Gilbow snips have a cutting capability much greater than the strength of the user. The original tin snips were first designed in 1924 and have dominated the sheet metal cutting industry to such an extent that today, snips and shears are referred to as Gilbows.

As with the entire Gilbow range, the blades are hardened and tempered ensuring a keen long lasting cutting edge.

The Irwin Gilbow are jointed with a nut and bolt design essential in ensuring the longest possible life of the joint, whilst keeping a good easy smooth cutting movement. They have a great cutting capability and will provide a good, clean and easy cut to any work piece.
