There are3 main types of tin snip．First of all,Aviation snipswhich are designed for any straight cut that may be required especially if they are a little longer than normal.Angle snipsare designed to cut in a circle. They are specifically designed to cut one way or the other and won't do both, but that being said they are extremely handy for cutting the exit holes in the trunk to attach the legs.Offset snipshave blades that are set at an angle almost parallel to the cutting surface. These HVAC hand tools are also used to help lessen hand fatigue when cutting flatwork.
- Pipe crimpersare another useful tool especially for legs and boots. A pipe crimper creates ripple in the duct pipe or end boot so you can insert it into another pipe or duct. It will require you to press the ripples all the way around the pipe in 2" or 3" sections, so it is best to do this before you install the duct into place.
