Make light work of cutting through tough materials with the superbly designed Fiskars PowerArc utility snips (8 in). This tool is more than a match for most shearing tasks, whether you're slicing through cardboard, fascia, gutters or light-gauge metal. It features patent pending PowerArc technology, which reduces the amount of effort needed to make difficult cuts. An extended tang helps you apply force efficiently. Though they deliver over 2X more power than similar products, Fiskars PowerArc 8 in utility snips protect your hands from fatigue during taxing jobs with their spring-assisted Easy Action mechanism and Softgrip handle. The offset handle keeps your digits well away from the cutting edge. In addition to their excellent performance, Fiskars heavy-duty snips are made to last and the stainless steel blades won't rust. The tool's solid construction includes bolted joints that stay intact during the snips' lifetime. An easy-to-open lock shields the blades during transport and storage.
