Tinsmith's shears

What it is

Tinsmith's shears. Key specifications: type straight, handle two-component, length (mm) 250.

Shears are two-bladed tools, hand-held or bench-mounted, that cut sheet metal, branches or sections with a scissor action, depending on the model.

What it is for

Used for cutting metal sections, sheet and tube.

How to use it

Choose the model for the material and thickness: right-cut, left-cut or straight-cut aviation snips for sheet metal, loppers for gardening, and a bench shear for thicker sheet. Feed the material deep into the blades, close to the pivot, and close them with a firm movement without twisting. Wear cut-resistant gloves against sheet metal edges and keep the blades clean, lubricated and with the pivot properly adjusted.
