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.

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.

A little heavy but not bad once you get used to it cuts fast and strait .

My wife found this Wild Edge metal shear on my Amazon wish list and surprised me with it. I was actually hesitant to place the order myself fearing this unfamiliar product might have exaggerated claims of quality and power. Not the case. I was very impressed with the build and performance of these shears. I cut some sheet metal from an old shelf a few weeks ago using my angle grinder. It took almost ten minutes of sparks flying all over the garage to end up with a jagged-edge sheet of 20 gauge metal about 12 by 24 inches. This Wild Edge Shear did the same job in thirty seconds! A very clean, easy cut with nice edges. I'm learning the trick to using this machine fluidly is the angle of attack on the cut. When that angle is just right, this shear cuts through metal like warm butter. I wish I had someone I trusted to tell me that this product is well built and will do what it's advertised to do. Allow me to be that person for you. I firmly believe you will be happy with this product purchase.

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.

first use, cut through 22g steel . speed was erratic at times and then when i released the trigger to stop, the blades kept moving as if i still had the trigger slightly pressed. The tool kept doing it even when it wasn’t cutting metal, i’d push trigger then let go and it would keep running slowly. yeah! that’s not safe. i know it’s a cheap tool but it should at least stop running when you let go of the trigger. got the Bauer at harbor freight for $7 more and it’s a good affordable option

The cutting jaws space is about 1/8 of an inch making it a total pain to get the machine to bite into the metal to initiate the cut. Once it catches it cuts great leaving behind a metal pigtail strip. They should of made the space between the jaws sissoring action bigger its super tiny ridiculous. Might be easier to work with on metal that is stand alone but if you needed it to cut metal that is installed and in place its a difficult maneuver. It was cheap and certainly beats a hacksaw so eh I guess you take the good with the bad.

Used several times, works great.
