We have a pair of right-cutting offset tin snips that you are welcome to use. Once we have gathered more experience, we'll go into detail about the different styles that exist!
also useful for cutting plastic sheets or packaging
Snips may leave sharp edges on your workpiece, therefore wearing gloves is recommended.
You can somehow adjust snips to your material's thickness using a feeler gauge (please tell us if you know how!).
