Diamond Plate Cutting Snips — 10" Straight Cut

Whether you're a DIYer tackling your first garage wall panel install or a contractor who works with sheet metal regularly, having the right cutting tool makes all the difference. These 10" Straight-Cut Tinner's Snips are specifically selected to work with Online Diamond Plate's embossed aluminum sheets — cutting cleanly through our .025" and .045" diamond plate stock without the noise, cost, or setup of power tools.

The hot drop-forged steel blades are precision-ground for superior cutting quality with less effort. The flat blade face acts as a natural guide along straight cut lines, and the through-broached pivot bolt is engineered for long cycle life — exceeding 3X the ASME cutting specification. These snips handle straight cuts and wide curves, making them ideal for trimming sheets to length, cutting around outlets, and fitting panels into corners.

Comfort matters on a full garage install. The high-durometer cushion-grip handles feature torque control rings sized to fit hands with or without work gloves, and touch-point ergonomics reduce hand fatigue during extended cuts. Lightweight enough to maneuver easily, durable enough to last through project after project.

Why These Snips?

We tested a range of cutting tools for diamond plate and selected these as the best balance of precision, durability, and ease of use for our customers. They're included in our Garage Wall Panel Kits and sold separately here for contractors or anyone adding to their toolkit.
