"I bought this to cut sheet metal for a auto restore im doing. Cuts 20 gauge steel like butter. The only problem i had was assembly , getting that handle return spring on was a chore! Once assembled it works good though."

Not quite what I expected...,

"I bought this shear to use for making gussets and brackets for Custom suspensions for Jeeps and offroad trucks. In a review above the statement that this shear "Doesn't quite cut the mustard" was given, and I believe that I may have to agree. Granted it will shear anything up to 1/8" flat carbon steel without a problem, when you get to 3/16" thick carbon, A36 mild even, it takes 3 men and a small boy to get enough leverage, even with the long handle, to get a full clear cut. I would not dare attempt 1/4" with this machine. It is rated up to 1/4" but I just fear that it would harm and deflect the jaws. Again, it will cut up to 3/16" cleanly, but it takes a good bit of strength to make the cut. If you can mount it to something low and extermely stable it will cut 3/16" easier. I have it mounted to my high top welding table, and I am afraid of turning it over. When I pull on the handle I can rock the table and it is a 9'L x 3'W x 1/2" thick A50 plate on 3/8" 4x4 legs, all 8 of them... I doubt it will be getting as much use as orginally planned but it will still be quicker than the bandsaw and safer than the chop saw."

Nice cutter!,
November 19, 2008
By drod

"After reading some reviews on this cutter I was a little concerned about ordering one. Some people suggested they could not "cut the mustard".
I picked this up to cut LOTS of 22 gauge sheet metal. It slices through it like butter. I have no complaints. I needed a cutter that could perform basic straight cuts on small strips of sheet metal and this does the job. Great price too.
One warning....UPS did have a difficult time delivering the package in 1 box. Northern tool was great to work with and the 3rd time was a charm. Thanks Northern Tool!"

Metal Shear,
August 11, 2008
By Goat
from Kankakee IL
"These shears are really built strong for the use by all welders, fabricators & the hobbist. The shear is made out of quality material and mounts to work station or workbench with just four bolts. It cut the thicker metal nice and square and easy like cutting thinner metal with little effort. Real fine item."
