Midwest Tool and Cutlery MW-147CBT Lathe Snip, 14-Inch

If you care about the quality of the tools you use or sell, you'll appreciate a company that cares about the quality of the tools it makes. At Midwest Tool And Cutlery Company we take pride in manufacturing in the USA the very best tanner snips you can buy anywhere in the world today. From their handle bows to the tip of their hot drop-forged blades, our tanner snips outperform and outlast all others. Each hot drop-forged blade is individually fitted and finish assembled to assure uniform shearing action. The Grade-8 blade pivot bolt provides maximum wear resistance and is affixed into the bottom blade. A special design locknut keeps the blades in adjustment. This feature also allows blades to be re-adjusted if necessary after extensive use. Wave washers that are used by other manufacturers to hold blades in adjustment frequently "spring" allowing blades to loosen and separate. Blades that are loose or out of adjustment allow material to wedge sideways between the blades instead of precision cutting. Each Midwest Snips Kush'n-Kote tanner snip is individually inspected and test cut prior to leaving the factory and each performs superior to ASME Standard B107.500-2010(B107.16) performance requirements.
