Overview
Weighing in at 38 pounds, Vevor's Hand Plate Shear is a manual metal cutter built from carbon steel with a metal handle.
At 38 pounds, this belongs on a bench or stand rather than in a toolbox, built for cutting sheet metal or plate by hand lever rather than by power. High carbon steel is typical for the cutting blades on this kind of tool, since it holds an edge better under repeated shearing than mild steel. The source material field is messy (carbon, carbon steel, high, metal, steel) but consistently points to a steel bodied, steel bladed tool.
- Carbon steel material
- Metal handle
- 38 pound weight
Who it's for
Metalworkers and fabricators who need a manual shear for cutting sheet metal or plate without a powered machine. Not a fit for anyone expecting a lightweight, handheld tool given the 38 pound weight.
Pros and cons
- Carbon steel construction for edge retention
- Handles plate and sheet metal cutting by hand lever
- 38 pounds, not portable
- Exact cutting capacity (thickness) not given
Performance notes
High carbon steel blades hold an edge through repeated cuts in sheet metal or plate better than softer steel, which is the main reason a shear like this is worth the extra weight. At 38 pounds, it is meant to sit on a bench or stand rather than be carried job to job, using leverage from the handle to cut material a hand snip could not manage.
