I just need a right handed offset snip. I thought the right handers had a red handle but when I select right hander it looks blue. Please help.

The "Left" and "Right" refers to which direction the "finished" and "waste" side will be on when you cut. Yes they will make curves easier, but that's NOT why they're named directionally. The Red handle will send your waste side off to the right, the greens will send your waste to the left, and the yellows are garbage that should be discarded immediately upon arrival. Grab a pair of reds, cut a circle right to left. That circle will have a perfect edge on it. Do the same with green snips and it'll look jagged and full of burrs. And vice versa. But the fact that you're asking these questions should tell you that a great brand like Midwest is not what you need. Buy something cheaper- I use these because I do standing seam for a living, and Midwest is the only brand that can cut through the 4 folded layers of Drexel 24 g. Painted steel that I do 100 times a day. Unless you are working with aircraft skins for old prop planes, where waste sides matter for flush mounts, or do what I do- then just get a cheaper pair.

Can you use this to cut rectangular shaped cable/wire duct and cable raceway made of PVC?

Thank you for reaching out. The snips can cut PVC sheet if they are not too thick. Some cable raceway can be too think and need to be cut with a saw blade.
