Customer Reviews for VEVOR Hand Plate Shear 12", Manual Metal Cutter Cutting Thickness1/4 Inch Max, Metal Steel Frame Snip Machine Benchtop 1/2 Inch Rod, for Shear Carbon Steel Plates and Bars

Fantastic piece of quality equipment at a bargain price . Does everything you would expect it to do and more

I haven't used it yet, but it looks and feels great. I believe it will do the job really well. Vevors system here won't let me submit this review unless I add another 100 characters, which I think is absolutely ridiculous. I'm not getting paid for this. Having said that I have bought from Vevor lots of times and never been disappointed. But saying I have to write over 100 characters in a reveiw is pushing the friendship.

I got the 12” hand plate shear and bolted it down to my bench and is it’s worth every cent because I don’t have to get the grinder out or hunt down tin shears that are usually not big enough for the job. This VEVOR shear is awesome!

I make crafts out of license plates and it’s great for cutting them

Bought for use on copper sheet up to 1mm thick and it cuts it like butter. Nice clean edge. Light to use and handle is good. Could do with a mechanical safety lock to hold the shear down when not in use. Too easy for it to be left up a little and cut if the handle is leaned on.

That’s the third Vevor tool I bought (after two print presses) and again, I have not been disappointed. The model I bought is the 12” shear, which I use to cut gauge 18 copper plates, that come in 12” x 12” or more. The hand shear cuts these 12” plates like paper, and the cut is very clean. I just had to bolt the shear on the workbench, so I could use two hands to pull the lever. The “hold-down” logic is a bit confusing at first, but it’s super useful once you get used to it. I protect the copper so the hold-down doesn’t leave a mark when unscrewing to hold. I checked around before buying the Vevor shear and every tool I found in the 12” range was around $300 after factoring in the shipping. I highly recommend this tool, and the brand.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Cuts license plates SAFELY with ease.

Use this to cut copper craft projects and it works very well!! Great quality and easy to use. It's nice and heavy so it doesn't move around too much while cutting.

It works as it should a great product. I almost wish I bought the bigger one .

It works great for metal roofing in particular. It is extremely heavy, and the blade looks blunted for a reason. I had read some bad reviews from Lowes over this tool, and they are crap reviews vs what i saw it actually do.
