The difference between Tin Cutter and aviation cutters

Ningbo Yongrong Technology Co., Ltd. produces quality 9 Inch Tin Cutter!

Although tin cutter and aviation cutters are similar and often used for the same job, there are some major differences between them.
Tin cutters are easier to use and cheaper, but aviation cutters are more versatile. Standard tin cutters work like a lever, with one blade rotating relative to the other, in much the same way as cutters. When the handle is opened and closed, the blade will cut through the material.

Tin cutters are easier to use and cheaper, but aviation cutters are more versatile. Aviation cutters have a compound effect, which gives them a mechanical advantage over standard tin cutters. This is due to the dual pivots and additional linkages in its design. This mechanical advantage means that they should be more comfortable to use for longer periods of time than tin cutters.

price
Tin cutters are simpler in design than aviation cutters. Because standard tin cutters are simple in design, they are usually cheaper, but they may last longer than most aviation cutters. They are easy to use, but can be heavy and need to be large to match the force that aviation cutters can produce. For more information, see: How to use tin snips?
application
Aviation cutters are generally stronger than tin cutters of the same size. Aviation cutters are more versatile. Compared with tin cutters of the same size, they can be used to cut more complex shapes and thicker materials.
size
Aviation cutters and tin cutters are both used to cut sheet metal, plastic, rubber and other materials. Aviation cutters use their extra levers to exert greater force, but tin cutters rely more on the length of the tool and the strength of the user. Therefore, compared with aviation cutters, tin cutters have greater changes in size.
