Bench shears?? Metal cutter thingme?

#1 Post by Dollina »

OH birthday coming soon and I see he is watching some bench shears on *bay.

He's doing alot of work on the car with varying thickness of metal.

Whats the best ones? Can afford about £100 or so.

Any advice very much appreciated.

Hello There

I use a Sykes Pickavant mini-cutter which is a roller shear thingy and it is worth it weight in gold. I have abused it for over 20years and has just given up on me. I will now buy a service kit for it and it will continue to be abused for another 20.
