Business Select Shears, Scissors & Snips

There are many different applications and jobs that require cutting of some kind. Whether you need to cut through roofing shingles, fabric, metal or wires, there are many different kinds of shears, scissors and snips available to handle any cutting task. Make long, thin cuts with pointed, extended blades or snip through wires with short, indented blades. For other jobs around the house or office, stock up on tools and equipment to stay well-prepared in advance.

Compatible Materials

With a variety of shears, scissors and snips to choose from, it's easy to find the right option to handle many different types of materials. Whether you need to make long cuts in sheet metal, aluminum and other thin metals, cut through different-gauge wires or cut carpeting and screening, there are choices available to suit any project.

Jaws and Handles

Serrated jaws on snips are great for holding materials tightly, while curved, offset blades keep your hands clear from the cutting surface and let you make curved, angled cuts with ease. Scissors with a compound-action design multiply the force of your hands multiple times for greater cutting power. Choose shears with textured grips to prevent hand fatigue and achieve a secure grasp.

Convenience Features

After you're finished using a pair of shears or scissors, a built-in hang hole allows you to mount the hand tool on a wall for quick access and neat organization. Consider purchasing a pair of snips with a safety latch when the item will be used around children. A safety latch locks the jaws together, preventing operation.
