Came with a wire edge on the anvil. Took it apart to dress it, but then it takes some work to reassemble because the blade is very tight against the anvil (that’s good). Will make a clean cut on paper and sheet metal up to about 1/8 in thick. Anything heavier I would limit to bar stock. Biggest drawback is that there’s no provision to get a square cut to the edge of a sheet.

Oh my goodness. I am so glad I purchased this cutter. It works great. No more stuggling with the shears, cramping up my hands, no more! This is about the best tool I could have purchased, and the price was just amazing.

Heavy. That’s good. I have been cutting up old Disson handsaw blades that are somewhat hardened. This cutter cuts them cleanly without much distortion. In the past I’ve used everything from an angle grinder, to a band saw, to heavy-duty snips and I’ve hated the cuts from all of these tools. This thing cuts really well and with minimal effort. And… the best thing… it’s quiet. You don’t have to plug it in. You don’t need hearing protection or even a dust mask.
In my experience it doesn’t cut really thin flashing material all that, but I could probably adjust the cutter heads to be a bit tighter. The thin stuff has a tendency to bend and get wedged between the block and the cutter head.
Overall, I love this thing. It was a great purchase and it was crazy-inexpensive… with shipping!

Zero or no quality control, the feet were welded on, without regards to the cutter being leveled, the welds were outstanding, the actual foot is Unsatisfactory and crooked, the entire cutter would not sit level when bolted down. I guess for the money, it might still be usable, but I guess you can’t expect a whole lot from China. The handle way too short, unless you are the Hulk, which I am not. I have not use the cutter yet, it has been here for two weeks trying to make this work, without delaying more time in another shipment.
R/ Very Disappointed…….

I have been looking for a way to cut license plates. Tried many options and none of them made an acceptable finished product. Is very heavy and the box that was left on my porch was broken. The tool was in good condition. So far the blade has held up well.

Shears are pretty simple tools, nonetheless this one is executed well. Assembly takes about five minutes (just several bolts to make the handle) and that’s about it.
Tips:
-like with all big cast iron tools, these ship with bolts not super tightened etc. to prevent cracking. So make sure the bolts are tight, it will help keep the cuts straight when using on thicker materiale.
-Make sure to use the hold-down part (the black thing that holds the metal flat) – it will help keep the metal where it needs to be, and not allow it to “rise” and make the cut less straight.
-Several smaller cuts are always better than one big one, if you can do such. also, cutting closer to the throat / inside will result in less deviation, depending on what you are cutting.
Also, as with any standard tool check if there are any cracks in the cast iron. This is rare, but these boxes get thrown around a lot, and sometimes there might be a crack you might find after it’s too late.

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.

Heavy is an understatement. The shear weighs a lot but does a really nice job so far cutting 1/8 and 1/16 aluminum stock. Sorry I have not tried it on steel yet but with the ease this cuts aluminum I think it would cut steel almost as easy. Also found it has a 1/2″ rebar cutter built in.
