The Malco AVM7 Mini Offset Aviation Snip is an essential tool for HVAC technicians, metal roofers, and sheet metal fabricators who require precision in tight spaces. Its primary benefit is the ability to execute sharp square cuts, straight lines, and tight 5-inch diameter circles in 24-gauge steel with exceptional control. While it offers unparalleled maneuverability, users should note that the 3/4-inch short blade length is optimized for detail work rather than long, continuous shearing tasks.

The tool is rated for cold rolled and galvanized steel. Using it on harder materials like stainless steel may prematurely dull the blades.
This means the tool is designed to cut to the right side of the blade, which is helpful for making counter-clockwise circles or cuts on the right side of a line.
The Malco AVM7 is designed for a 3/4-inch long cut per stroke.
While minor honing may be possible, professional sharpening is recommended to ensure the serrations and bevel angles remain accurate.
Yes, provided the thickness does not exceed the equivalent hardness/gauge of 24-gauge steel.
Check the torsion spring for debris and apply a drop of machine oil to the pivot point.
Ensure the material is seated fully against the serrated lower jaw and verify the material thickness is within the 24-gauge limit.
Inspect the blades for burrs or dullness; if damaged, the tool may require professional sharpening or replacement.
To ensure the longevity of your Malco AVM7, keep the pivot point lubricated with a light machine oil. Store the tool in the closed position using the safety latch to protect the cutting edges from dulling when not in use.
