Description
Hand Shear VLHS-12
When executing precise manual metal cutting in a busy workshop or fabrication environment, having a tool that combines raw mechanical leverage with structural rigidity is essential. The VLHS-12 Hand Shear is built to tackle a diverse array of structural profiles—from sheet metal and flat steel to round steel, square bars, angle bars, and T-beam steel—delivering clean, controlled cuts without the need for an external power source or electrical connections.
Designed for operator comfort and mechanical efficiency, the VLH-12 incorporates an engineered lever arm fitted with a compensating spring. This clever mechanism dramatically reduces user fatigue and guarantees smooth, balanced cutting power across the entire length of the blade. Safety and accuracy are further enhanced by a built-in height-adjustable hold-down, which firmly secures the material to prevent shifting or lifting during the cut. Supported by a robust, heavy-duty cutter body that resists flex under maximum load, this hand shear delivers reliable, high-capacity performance for professional metalworkers and fabricators alike.
Key Features & Specifications:
-
High-Capacity Manual Cutting: Effortlessly cuts sheet metal up to 6.0mm, flat steel (70 x 6mm), round steel (13mm), square bars, angle bars, and T-beam steel.
-
Compensating Spring Lever Arm: Features an engineered lever arm with a compensating spring for smooth, balanced, and low-effort cutting across the full blade length.
