I wouldn't say it will cut off a nice radius. It also depends on what type of tin snips you are using. They got the job done, and then I used a hammer to bend a lip into what was left so the sharp edges left from the tin snips wouldn't show. A body hammer or a cut off wheel would do a much better job, but I didn't feel like braking out my cut off wheel.
