ABSTRACT:
A compound action snips includes a pair of handles mutually connected at a handle pivot and a pair of cutting blades connected to the handles. The blades each having a proximal end attached to a distal portion of one of the handles, and the blades are mutually connected at a blade pivot, so that converging movement of the handles causes converging movement of the blades. The blades have a cutting length in a range of 2.5 to 3.5 inches and a functional handle length of about 5.8 inches. The snips have a ratio of cutting length to overall snips length in a range of about 0.24 to 0.33, and a ratio of cutting length to handle length in a range of about 0.4 to 0.6. In addition, the ratio of the cutting length to the angular range of motion of the handles is in the range of about 0.05 to 0.09 inches/degree for a handle range of movement of 40.degree. to 50.degree..
