Sterling 29-512 Black Panther Mini Snips 125mm
Part No: 29-512 | Barcode: 9313601026715
Sterling 29-512 Black Panther mini snips — compact 125mm (5″) general-purpose snips with drop-forged blades and spring-loaded compound action. Pocket-sized for the van, tool belt, or bench drawer, these snips handle thin sheet metal, wire tags, zip ties, cardboard, plastic strap, and general workshop cutting where a full-sized aviation snip is overkill.

Key Features & Benefits
- Compact 125mm (5″) size — fits easily in a tool pouch, apron pocket, or toolbox drawer. Always within reach for quick cuts on the bench or site.
- Drop-forged blade construction — same forging process as the full-size Black Panther industrial snips, scaled down for detail work.
- Spring-loaded return — blades re-open after each cut to reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tag, cable tie, and packing strap cutting.
- Compound leverage action — two-pivot geometry multiplies squeeze force so the mini snips punch above their weight class in thin sheet.
- Safety latch — locks blades closed for safe pocket carry and storage; releases with a thumb flick.
- Comfortable grip handle — moulded handles with a tactile surface give secure control even with gloved or wet hands.
Tips & Usage
Mini snips are best for tasks where full-size shears are awkward — cutting wire tags off plumbing fittings, trimming zip ties flush, snipping seal strips, opening packing strapping, and detail cuts in thin sheet or roofing underlay. For thicker gauge steel (18 ga and above), step up to a full-size industrial snip like the Sterling 29-700 or 29-701 for the extra leverage.
