Specifications

Pro-Tip: When starting a hole in round ductwork, use a standard hammer to give the oversized strike cap one sharp blow. The 5/16-inch slitter tip is ground to a specific angle that creates a clean starter slot, allowing you to insert your aviation snips and begin your cut without deforming the pipe or slipping off the surface.
