Channellock – 10 Aviation Snip 610UL

About this product

The Channellock 610UL is an upright, left-cutting aviation snip for roofers, HVAC installers and sheet metal workers who cut overhead or in tight spaces. With the handles standing up from the blades, you can cut down into a duct, along a wall or into a gutter without your hand fighting the work.

Channellock rates it for 24 gauge cold-rolled steel. The blades are forged molybdenum alloy steel with precision-machined serrations to hold the metal as you cut, and 8:1 compound leverage plus a double overwind spring keep the effort down. The handles are high-tensile steel with comfort grips. Channellock lists it as 100% made in the USA, at about 0.91 lb; “10-inch” is its size class.

Upright snips are a different tool from offset snips. If you mostly cut flat sheet on a bench, an offset snip such as the Malco AV6 (left) may suit you better; if you cut in place overhead, the 610UL or the Midwest MWT-6900L upright left snip in this catalog makes the job easier. For right-hand cuts, add a right-cutting snip such as the Malco MAX2000 M2007, and for straight runs in coil stock, a Malco Andy pattern snip.

It fits any toolbag used for flashing, duct and gutter work.
