Pelican Snips R Tool for Trimming Sheet-metal Components

Pelican Snips – Right Cut

The Pelican Snips – Right Cut are professional manual cutting tools designed for trimming metal roofing sheets, standing-seam panels, cladding and flashings.

Their longer cutting design provides a greater cutting distance with each movement, making them particularly suitable for accurate straight cuts and longer trimming work. The extended blades help the installer follow marked cutting lines while maintaining good control over the sheet metal.

Pelican Snips are available in two cutting-direction options:

• Left-Hand Cut: designed for cuts progressing towards the left-hand side.
• Right-Hand Cut: designed for cuts progressing towards the right-hand side.

Selecting the appropriate version helps improve control and keeps the waste section of the metal clear of the cutting path. This is particularly useful when trimming long sheets, preparing metal flashings and completing detailed roofing or cladding work.

The manual design requires no electrical power, making the snips suitable for workshop preparation and on-site adjustments. Their compact construction also makes them convenient to store and carry as part of a professional roofing tool kit.

How to Use

1. Clearly mark the required cutting line on the metal sheet.
2. Select the left-hand or right-hand snips to suit the direction of the cut.
3. Secure the sheet and position the metal between the cutting blades.
4. Cut gradually along the marked line using smooth and controlled pressure.
5. Support the metal during cutting to help prevent movement or distortion.

Always wear suitable cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when cutting or handling sheet metal. Newly cut metal edges may be extremely sharp. Check that the snips are suitable for the material type and thickness before use.
