Description
The Midwest Snips Stovepipe & Duct Cutter (MWT-P1) is a hand-operated tool designed to produce two finished edges with a single cut by removing a 3/16 in width of material from the center of the cut. It is built to cut through 24 ga cold rolled steel and delivers a 1-1/4 in length of cut per stroke. The tool features KUSH’N-POWER grips designed to improve comfort and reduce fatigue. It can be used in either hand and uses compound leverage handle action to multiply handle force.
Key features:
• Produces two finished edges with one cut by removing material from the center of the cut
• Cuts through 24 ga cold rolled steel for common stovepipe and duct material work
• 1-1/4 in length of cut per stroke supports efficient, repeatable cutting
• KUSH’N-POWER compound leverage grips are designed for comfort and reduced fatigue

FAQs
Q: Why does this cutter remove material from the center of the cut instead of making a single shear line?
A: Removing a narrow strip allows the tool to leave two finished edges in one pass, which helps create a cleaner result for duct and stovepipe work.
Q: How does compound leverage affect real-world cutting effort?
A: Compound leverage multiplies the force applied at the handles, helping reduce effort during repeated cuts.
Q: What’s the practical advantage of a defined “length of cut per stroke”?
A: It indicates how much material the tool can cut in one squeeze, which helps plan steady, repeatable progress along a cut line.
Q: How can I reduce fatigue during repeated cutting tasks with this tool?
A: Use smooth, controlled strokes, keep the tool aligned with the cut path, and take advantage of the grip and leverage design to avoid over-squeezing.
