Snips Help Handyman, Speed Cutting Jobs Need to renew some flash­ ings around the house? Re­ place a section of rain gutter or .spout, or cut some vinyl > tiles for a new kitchen floor? To turn the life of the home handyman brighter, there's a new type of metal- cutting snip that will help with all these jobs. It's called a pipe and duct snip. This compound-action snip is especially useful in cutting leaders, gutters and sheet m^tal pipes and ducts, or even vinyl tiles. It can make its own holes for starting, will cut through double layers or seams and is designed to give a clean cut without distorting edges. A safety factor is that waste metal curls up and forward out of the pipe and duct snip's jaws and cannot cut the operator's hand. Some basic rules to follow when working with metal snips are suggested here, by J. Wiss and Sons, makers of pipe and duct snips. Always cut with snip han­ dles at right angles to the metal. Slanting makes cut­ ting difficult and may spring the blades. In starting a cut, line up the upper blade with the scribed line and hold the rip just above the plane of the work. Cut with even pressure, making short strokes, espe­ cially on curves. Proper care of metal snips is simple. After use, wipe the blades clean and apply a thin coating of machine oil.
