Are the blades serrated or smooth?

Part # MWT-6716A Is a Smooth Blade. Part # MWT-6716As Is a Serrated Cut Blade

Are these a suitable replacement for andy or pelican snips? i'm doing 48" cuts at most.

If your looking for something more like pelican snips or a close replacement try looking at MWT-6516 they are offset long nose straight cut snips which makes it easier than using non offset snips

Will these cut 18 ga. Aluminum panels?

In the USA, aluminum is typically measured in inches and steel by gauge. .040 aluminum is equivalent to 18 ga steel. These snips are rated for 20 ga. cold rolled steel so I suspect .040 aluminum will not be an issue as aluminum is softer and easier to cut than steel.

Can they be used to cut metal roof panels?

Yes, the MWT-6716A can cut metal panels up to 20 gauge thick

Almost perfect

For context: I'm a Journeyman HVAC mechanic. I use snips on a fairly regular basis. I've been happy with all of Midwest's other snips, but of course the ones I bought from AMZN had one small glaring giant issue: the blades would stick when you closed the handles. A copious amount of gun oil later and the snips open and close on their own just fine, but the fact still remains that if I'm paying 3x the price for tin snips, they'd better show up in perfect condition. These did not. I was able to fix it but I shouldn't have had to. Five star product, minus one star for them getting goofed up somewhere along the line.
