Cutting a curve with straight snips means a dozen small corrections and a ragged edge. These shears carry the curve in the blade itself, so contoured blanks, scallops and sweeping outlines come off the sheet in one continuous pass. For interior cut-outs you would still reach for a jeweller's saw; for open curved lines, shears are far quicker.

The single-loop handle keeps your grip constant through the whole cutting action, and its bright blue PVC coating is comfortable in the palm and easy to spot in a crowded drawer. A flat-head screw at the pivot lets you take up blade tension as the shears wear in. At 17.8 cm overall, there is enough leverage for sheet metal without losing control at the tip.

  • Curved steel blades designed to follow contours in sheet metal.
  • Single-loop handle provides a firm grip throughout the cutting action.
  • Bright blue PVC handle coating for comfort and easy identification.
  • Adjustable flat-head screw pivot allows for blade tension maintenance.
  • Overall length of 17.8 cm offers a balance of leverage and control.

Common questions at the bench

What can these cut?
Check this product's description and stay within any material or size it gives. Cutting harder or thicker material than a cutter is made for, such as steel or memory wire in a cutter not made for it, is the quickest way to chip or dent the cutting edges.
How do I get a clean cut?
Hold the work steady, keep the tool square to it and cut in one firm, steady movement. Do not twist, rock or lever the tool during the cut; that is what chips and dents cutting edges.
Will the cut end need finishing?
It depends on the cutter and the material. If this product's description says what kind of cut it gives, such as flush or semi-flush, that is what to expect. Either way, check each cut end or edge, and file or smooth any that is sharp, ridged or burred if it will touch skin or show on the finished piece.
How do I keep the cutting edges sharp?
Use the cutter only on the materials it is made for, never as pliers or a lever, and keep the edges from knocking against other tools. Wipe it clean and store it dry. Once the edges are chipped or dented they crush rather than cut cleanly.
