Work as you think it should. The adjustable rod metal plate was bent but that probably happened during shipping but not so bent that it is unusable.

It did not come with the fasteners to attach the arm.

Had to make a minor adjustment. Now it works good

Quite a machine. Cuts through recommended metals like butter. I work with very small flat copper pieces so there is some curling along the cut line end, but that is easily fixed as I need to pound out the pieces anyway. Well worth the money.

This cuts with very little effort. Wisk I had it years ago.

Awesome super sharp .excellent for cutting license plates

Arrived on time. Packaging was decent, box got quite beat up. Easy to put the handle on. Definitely will need to mount it to a base/table.

Robust built tool, no instructions included but it was self explanatory to install the 16" handle and to thread in the piece that secures metal being cut (see photo #3). The base was easily attached to a $40 WEN grinder pedestal without needing to drill any holes. The mounting hardware is included with the shear, which was a plus. Mounting holes are placed at 7 1/2" by 2 1/2" or 19.0 x 6.0 cm for you metric folks. The shear will not cut a full 5" wide so plan on 4 1/2" and I believe the thickness capacity could be greater with a longer handle. The blades are sharp and it walked right through a stainless steel silverware spoon handle. I just need to mount the pedestal to my shop floor. Well made and a nice price!***Update... the lower shear blade dented while cutting some 5/16" mild steel rod. I contacted the seller, requesting they ship me a replacement blade and they simply shipped me a 2nd new shear tool. There was no damage to the top shear blade so the bottom blade must not have been properly hardened at the factory. I was not asked to return the 1st shear. Great service to stand behind their product! WOW 6 star rating.

GREAT tool for the money, HEAVY HEAVY DUTY, cuts sheet metal like butter, only problem I found with it is the hold down is about 1/2 in too short, easy fix and saw some stuff on line about the round bar cutter being too soft but I won't be using that anyway so not a problem for me' overall...very happy!
