Customer Reviews for VEVOR Hand Plate Shear 5", Manual Metal Cutter Cutting Thickness1/4 Inch Max, Metal Steel Frame Snip Machine Benchtop 7/16 Inch Rod, for Shear Carbon Steel Plates and Bars

Awesome super sharp .excellent for cutting license plates

Arrived on time. Packaging was decent, box got quite beat up. Easy to put the handle on. Definitely will need to mount it to a base/table.

Robust built tool, no instructions included but it was self explanatory to install the 16" handle and to thread in the piece that secures metal being cut (see photo #3). The base was easily attached to a $40 WEN grinder pedestal without needing to drill any holes. The mounting hardware is included with the shear, which was a plus. Mounting holes are placed at 7 1/2" by 2 1/2" or 19.0 x 6.0 cm for you metric folks. The shear will not cut a full 5" wide so plan on 4 1/2" and I believe the thickness capacity could be greater with a longer handle. The blades are sharp and it walked right through a stainless steel silverware spoon handle. I just need to mount the pedestal to my shop floor. Well made and a nice price!***Update... the lower shear blade dented while cutting some 5/16" mild steel rod. I contacted the seller, requesting they ship me a replacement blade and they simply shipped me a 2nd new shear tool. There was no damage to the top shear blade so the bottom blade must not have been properly hardened at the factory. I was not asked to return the 1st shear. Great service to stand behind their product! WOW 6 star rating.

GREAT tool for the money, HEAVY HEAVY DUTY, cuts sheet metal like butter, only problem I found with it is the hold down is about 1/2 in too short, easy fix and saw some stuff on line about the round bar cutter being too soft but I won't be using that anyway so not a problem for me' overall...very happy!

Great for cutting silk flowers

The shear work's easy with thin material best, but I did cut a piece of 1/4 aluminium about two inches wide with a lot of force on the short handle,I cut a bunch of 1/8 by one inch wide steel and some 2 inch wide 1/16 stainless, and even cut some 1/8 inch by one titanium

This item was assembled wrong took it apart re assembled works very good.

I'm a blacksmith need to process a large amount of 8 in wide 1/16th thick "hardened bansaw blades" into inventory. So far I have made 250+ cuts it's holding on for now. Will have to sharpen blades tonight,. It was sloppy when I unboxed it, caused some edge damage. But now it's good. Tune it up

I found it easy to use with a UV salon style Nail Lamp.

Cuts 16 gauge sheet. Cut edges are clean and clear. No filing required
