“When Klein’s team receives valuable feedback from our customers, we look for ways that we can improve our products to address their needs and develop new solutions,” says Sabrina Kalsi, product manager at Klein Tools. “After realizing that HVAC professionals may sometimes damage snip blades when cutting wires, we thought about how we could extend the tool’s life. By integrating a wire cutter on the outside of the blade, Klein’s new Aviation Snips prevent damage from normal, everyday usage and allow professionals to cut sheet metal as well as duct and suspension wires with the convenience of just one tool.”
