Electric Metal Shear, 14 Gauge 5.0 Amp Variable Speed Swivel Head Heavy Duty Sheet Metal Cutter

Affordable option if you need to cut metal with a little precision than shears. It cut through 18 ga aluminum diamond plate quite easily. The tool feels substantial and well made. Handled my needs without breaking the bank.

Got this mainly to cut up cardboard boxes - we shop on-line mostly. These cordless scissors are very good at cutting regular weight cardboard. Make cutting a few boxes at a time enjoyable and quick. Would recommend.

It's decent enough. It's a little finicky to work. The trigger doesn't always turn it on so you need to depress then press trigger a few times to get it to work. Once powered, sometimes it takes off and works great and sometimes it doesn't advance unless you rock it back and push it forward with a good amount of force (all cuts I made were the same gauge steel, maybe 18 gauge). If you get one you will know what I mean by "rock it back and push forward with a good amount of force". There is a slight amount of curling along the cut but nothing for me to complain about. I don't think I need this past my current project so it fits my needs. So far I've made about 120 feet of cut lines and it still works like it did when I made my first cut. Sure beats using an angle grinder to make cuts.

Yeah this is good metal shearing tool for the money.The build quality is just as good as the Dewalt or Milwaukee. If you ask me for my opinion you’re just waisting your money buy purchasing those more expensive brands. Truth be told they are probably made in the same production plant. I just went downstairs and found a old license and it sliced right through it just like butter. Now I wanna emphasize that this metal shear is only made for “light duty”. Like ductwork, you know guys that cut metal to make ductwork for new homes. Now if you’re hoping to cut 1/4 plate steel, this is not the tool that you need. I think a lot guy’s buy stuff like this hoping to cut thick ass metal and then they get pissed when it won’t work. Well listen if you wanna cut thick stuff then you should probably get a jigsaw with a high temperature metal cutting blade or use cutting torches or a plasma cutter. It’s called being realistic about what you expect from your tools. This metal shear is no different than any other tool, it’s only meant to do so much and that’s it. If you actually break the little nibbler on this metal shear, then you’re trying to cut to thick of metal. Also if you want to buy a cordless battery powered power tool then expect to pay three times as much it. Now you can buy a metal shear at Harbor Freight somewhere what this costs, but then you have to purchase the battery and then the charger separately. So when you get through buy that stuff you are at $130 to $150 bucks. And you can do whatever floats your boat, it’s your money do whatever you want. But the purpose of my review is that this metal shear is old school and you have to plug it in, but it will do the same thing as those more expensive brands and it won’t break the bank if you know what I mean. And mind you that this is for light metal work. If you try to cut thick stuff then you’re only going to get upset and frustrated.

This is a plug-in Metal sheet. I have aviation snips, but I needed to cut a larger amount in a quicker time. This device does the job it makes a shallow cut and it rolls the metal up out of your way as it goes. Very efficient, and the price was great. Actual cutting head is adjustable so you can turn it and lock it down and hold the motor device at different angles it easier to use.

The item no longer works. It was purchased on September 9, 2024 and today is January 30, 2025. It wasn't cutting good so I thought the battery was low and I plugged it in. When I came back to take it off the charger, it was dead. Did not work at all. I can't tell if it's the item itself that no longer works or if the charger went bad. Either way I would have expected a much longer lifespan. I reached out to the seller and will update this review if there is a warranty or if they help take care of it. But for now I can't recommend this product. As cool as it was, it's not worth the money to stop working that fast.

I recently moved and had a lot of boxes to break-down and discard. Some were quite heavy grade. Once I understood the mechanism of the cutter, it has been flawless. It cuts so smoothly, with so little effort. And the battery lasts a really long time.I had never used one of these before & was gratified that it worked so easily. I recommend.

I really wanted to like this and be able to use it, however, I made 5 passes on fabric with it and it was so heavy for my wrist that it hurt. It also did not give me a clean edge cut on fabric. I was cutting cotton fabric.I'm a bit disappointed but I'll try something else. I have small hands and weak wrists so that might be a par t of my issue....Give them a try, they are a great product, just not for me,The carrying case is amazing...makes it so convenient to keep it all together.
