Kennedy 5inch Handle Snips - Precision Cutting Tool for Professional Use

The Kennedy 5inch Handle Snips - Precision Cutting Tool for Professional Use (SKU KENNEDY-5-HANDLE-SNIPS) come down to one headline measurement: a 5 inch handle, which is roughly 127 mm. In practice, that means a short, close-in hand tool. You hold it near the cut and steer it with your fingertips.

What that gives you

• Compact size. A 5 inch handle fits into tight spots and is easy to carry in a pocket or tool pouch.
• Precision cutting. The tool is made for clean, accurate cuts rather than rough trimming.
• Ergonomic and durable build. It is designed to sit comfortably in the hand and to stand up to regular use.
• Professional and DIY use. The same snips suit a tradesperson's kit and a home toolbox.
• Various materials. They are intended for cutting across a range of materials.

Choosing the right size

A short handle trades leverage for control. That suits detail work, where placing the cut matters more than force. If your job needs a lot of leverage, a longer-handled tool will usually be easier on the hand.

The Kennedy 5inch Handle Snips are a general hand tool. They are not a dedicated CCTV accessory, so think of them as an extra for the bench or tool bag rather than a replacement for specialist tools.
