Jewellers' Shear — Short Stainless Steel Blade, Curved Red Handles, 5-1/2 Inch, Heavy Duty
Shears for cutting shaped blanks by hand — following a scribed curve through sheet metal, leather or fabric with control that long-bladed snips cannot give. The short blades turn tightly along a pattern line, and the S-shaped offset handles lift your hand clear of the workpiece, so the cut line stays visible right to the tip.
The blades are stainless steel and deliver a clean, powerful cut for a 5½-inch tool, working through a robust, flush-set pivot that keeps the action smooth without binding mid-cut. Gloss red vinyl coating on the handles gives a comfortable, secure grip. A dependable shear for jewellers, model makers and leatherworkers alike, stocked in the UK for immediate dispatch.
