Heavy Duty Metal Shears — Precision Straight Cuts on Sheet Metal & More
When you're mid-project and a flimsy pair of snips bends instead of cuts, the job stalls and frustration sets in. Whether you're a weekend DIYer tackling roofing panels or an HVAC tech working through aluminum flashing, you need shears that keep up. These 200mm heavy duty metal shears are built for exactly that — delivering clean, controlled straight cuts through sheet metal, vinyl siding, and corrugated materials without hand fatigue.
Constructed with SK5 high-carbon steel blades featuring an anti-rust coating, the shears measure 200mm (approx. 7.9") in total length with a 60mm cutting edge. The reinforced pivot bolt ensures smooth blade action across repeated use, while the ergonomic non-slip handles absorb grip pressure during extended cutting sessions.
Ideal for sheet metal fabrication up to 3mm mild steel, aluminum flashing up to 4.5mm, and copper up to 3.5mm — these shears handle HVAC installations, auto body repairs, roofing projects, and heavy-duty gardening tasks with equal confidence.
✅ Compatible with mild steel (up to 3.0mm), aluminum (up to 4.5mm), copper (up to 3.5mm), vinyl siding, and corrugated roofing materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can these shears cut?
These shears are designed to cut mild steel up to 3.0mm, aluminum up to 4.5mm, copper up to 3.5mm, vinyl siding, corrugated roofing panels, and aluminum flashing. They are not recommended for hardened steel or stainless steel.
Are these shears suitable for left-handed users?
These shears are designed for right-handed use. The blade orientation and handle ergonomics are optimized for right-hand operation. Left-handed users may find the cutting angle less comfortable.
How do I maintain the blades?
After each use, wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth to remove metal shavings and moisture. Occasionally apply a light machine oil to the pivot bolt and blade surfaces to maintain smooth action and prevent rust buildup.
Can I use these for gardening tasks?
Yes. These shears handle heavy-duty gardening applications such as cutting metal garden edging, wire mesh, and thick metal stakes. They are not intended for pruning live plants or branches.
What is the cutting edge length?
The cutting edge is typically 60mm, which allows for controlled straight cuts on sheet materials without requiring repositioning on most standard panel widths.
Are replacement blades available?
Replacement blade availability depends on the specific model. Contact us to confirm compatibility and availability of spare parts for your shears.
What safety precautions should I follow?
Always wear cut-resistant safety gloves when operating metal shears. Secure the material before cutting, keep fingers clear of the blade path, and store the shears with a blade cover when not in use.
