Customer Reviews for VEVOR Hand Plate Shear 12", Manual Metal Cutter Cutting Thickness1/4 Inch Max, Metal Steel Frame Snip Machine Benchtop 1/2 Inch Rod, for Shear Carbon Steel Plates and Bars

I have used this mostly for thin stock to date and with limited use it seems to work well. Blades seem sharp and adjusted correctly out of the box. Set up took minimal time. Only draw back is the stop used to provide counter precure to the work. It is well forward and is a single spot which works ok for full sized sheets but has no function with thin strips or bar material. A full length gate style stop would have been much more helpful.

I initially purchased this purelly because I was sick of not being able to cut an accurate straight line through thin guage sheet metal over a short distance (300mm) without having to trim it up afterwards or having a lot of creases a hand shear makes. It does that well with a minimum of distortion , but you do have to be carefull of it's considerable weight if it isn't perminantely located due to space limitations. I have mine mounted to a piece of h/duty angle iron and that is inserted in a stable set of portable jaws ,which slide under a set of storage racks.

No complaints here. Minimal installation required. Cuts metal like butter, at least thin sheet metal that I needed a way to cut straight with. Highly recommended.

After years of wanting one of these shears I finally bought one and I’m glade I did. This makes quick and easy work of cutting all kinds of materials. This definitely was a great addition to my workshop!

Solidly built and makes short work of thinner suff. I use it for 1.6mm steel sheet which it cuts like butter.

Great shear mounted it the day it arrived and used it to cut aluminum panels for the trunk of my factory five 33 hot rod saved my hands from using the snips. I feel it paid for it self already

I like tools and this did the trick, wated to long be for getting one
