The Irwin Gilbow Jewellers Snips have become synonymous with precision cutting tools for jewellers, silversmiths, and model makers. These short-bladed snips provide excellent control for intricate workpieces and are capable of cutting through materials with ease, surpassing the user's strength. The original tin snips were designed in 1924 and have been the industry standard for sheet metal cutting ever since. Today, snips and shears are commonly referred to as 'Gilbows' due to their unparalleled quality. The unique non-slip joint of these snips has been set and tested to ensure a perfect cut, and the double, hollow ground blade reduces friction for easier cutting. The drop-forged carbon tool steel handles and blades make them durable and long-lasting, and the safety stop feature prevents trapped fingers, making them a safe choice for any craftsman.
