Tin snips that cut a miter?

[rharman]

Maybe I'm hallucinating, but I seem to recall seeing tin snips that would cut 2 45 degree angles at the same time. Would give you perfect corners for a miter.

For example, you could cut one leg of aluminum angle and then make a bend to get a nice clean corner.

Anyone here that can confirm this? Sources?

Thanks.

Can't help with the question, but I like sharing this when snips come up in convo...

Not that I have ever seen. Sounds like more of a punch and anvil set up.

Saw that some time ago. 18 minutes on snips? Interesting though.

For the price of what I've seen, I'll stick with my Wiss snips or a hacksaw & miterbox. Good enough for my needs.....

Appreciate the feedback though.

Those just have a miter fence gizmo on them. The ones I was thinking of actually cut the V notch in one shot. Too pricey though as I've discovered.
