I used this shear to cut 0.063 4130 sheet with no problems. It takes some getting used to, but it will do it! The bottom allen bolt did break as I used it, but I just taped it from coming out and continued with zero problems. I will replace as I have time. Overall very happy. Looks like it will give years of service!

I purchased this shear for a school shop. We have put it through all the paces in the shop. It hasn't faultered once and doesn't show any signs of wear. We have cut 14 all the way down to 22 gauge steel and have not had any issues with it. I talked to several shop owners who use the Kett shears for various materials. None of them had any complaints about the shear. I would talk to people in your area about shears and see what they are using. I am more than impressed with the one I purchased.

My new Kett KE440 shears quit after one hour of use. Motor wasn't getting juice, loose wire. It took Kett an unreasonably long time to turn around the warranty repair, and they had to be called once and asked where is it. Seems the product quality is low, and the people aren't too concerned about their buyers. Buy a DeWalt, I did.
