    the yellows are straight cut snips, you need the reds and greens

    Another tip cutting outlets in half round gutters, I use daily. either stab the trough through or drill an 1.5 inch hole cut one ragged cut all the way around .5 inches inside or so. Follow up with a nice clean cut to your mark, this can be accomplished with either R or L snip with out the back and fourth between the two. Offset snips can be very helpful with a lot of the longer straight cuts on flat material, I use offsets for flat dimensional trim and aviation style for patterning or cutting circles.

    Thanks for the video - alas, my snips have red and green handles, and no, the Red pair is not for Right, and the Green one is Left - thanks Amazon!

    They are not left and right handed snips they are straight /left cut and straight/ right cut.
    Yellow snips are straight

    No drill need just a tip of a screw driver and hammer, and you should be able to cut a circle with one pair and way to many relief cuts for that small cuts

    Why not just use offset snips?

    why wouldnt you just use offset snips. you can cut the whole length without that stupid relief cut you're making...

      Red right would make sense, but they are not, Reds are left. At least where I come from. Ain't nothing wrong w baldness, shows testosterone in a better way than you just did.

      Our Build No, thank you, did a good amount of trim thx to your video. What would make me want to use the straight vs the left (yellow vs red snips)? One comment said yellow not for long cuts?

    • @karpenterken1

      Left and right handed snips aren't designed and designated by which hand you use them in. They determine the direction of the offcut and the side the metal distorts during the cut. As for the original person who posted, left is red, right is green, just like with port and starboard lights on a ship or boat.
