What are "snips"?
Snips are hand tools used for cutting through thin materials like metal, plastic, or wire. They have two handles and a pair of sharp, curved blades that come together when the handles are squeezed. The curved blades allow for precise cutting along curves or straight lines. Snips are commonly used in tasks like cutting sheet metal, trimming wires, or working on crafts.
