These strong, sturdy shears have narrow blades that cut accurate lines and patterns in sheet metal. Shears operate like scissors, with blades that smoothly bypass one another as they cut, but have a more robust construction ideal for cutting metal sheet. Straight-blade shears are perfect for cutting fine, straight lines. These shears are made of drop-forged low-carbon cold-rolled steel, which is heat-treated and tempered; forging offers the best combination of strength and durability.

• The large loop handles help to decrease hand fatigue, and the cushioned, plastic-coated grips increase user comfort even more.
