HVAC & Sheet Metal Fabrication Note:

Offset blade head design keeps the operator's hands elevated safely above sharp sheet metal scrap during long, continuous straight passes and tight radius curves. Precision serrated forged steel jaws bite firmly into 18-gauge cold-rolled steel and 22-gauge stainless steel to prevent material slippage, while the spring-action self-opening latch accelerates repetitive cutting cycles.
