Snips are great hand tools for cutting metal, wires, vinyl siding, and plastic material. They come in three different hand grip colors to help distinguish between each cutting tool.

• Red: metal snips with a red colored grip will cut left
• Yellow: metal snips with a yellow colored grip will cut either straight, left, or right
• Green: metal snips with a green colored grip will cut to the right
