Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great price Works better than expected for 18 gauge steel I like the way you can adjust the swiveling head for better control.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great tool I cut several pieces of 18 gauge right off the bat when i received these. Had no problems what so ever. Straight, smooth cuts each time. Would buy again if these ever did break.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from air shears The only reason these people are'nt giving this product a 5******** is they are trying to cut metal,they were'nt suppose to be cutting!!!!!!! I own both, air and electric. And they are as good as button's on a shirt.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A spare set of cutter blades! I have a couple of other Eastwood air tools and I expect to put these to work on my old 1950 Chevy truck I am restoring. They should come in handy during panel replacement and floor panel repairs as well. I hope they are ready because they have work to do!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Air Shears The shears work great and well worth the cost. The shears don't use excessive amounts of air.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bad start, good finish I had never used an Air Shear, so I bought one to cut some 18 gauge cold rolled steel. About one inch into the cut the blade snapped in two. I installed the second blade and it has worked perfectly. (Send me a new replacement blade)!

Questions & Answers

Will this work as a notcher making 1/4 cuts in 24G SS. I assume only the tip of the blades work. Does it curl the metal? or does it slice without width vs a saw? What else could be used to make such 1/4" notches in the edge of a sheet that are 1/4" wide

will this cutter cut ribbed metal roofing

Asked by: greenhouse
I've used comparable shears to cut ribbed metal roofing on a couple of jobs and didn't have any problems. Just take your time and don't force tool.

Would this cut an 1/8" aluminum composite signboard? Its a 4x8' thin plastic panel faced on each side with thin white coated aluminum sheet...It is a light shearable product, just wondering if these jaws would accept something 1/8"?

Asked by: somcalmetim
Unfortunately due to the jaw size of this unit it would not be able to accept a material this thick.
