While cordless tools are becoming more popular all the time, corded tools still hold good value because they’re more cost effective for the trade off of being less convenient due to having to plug into the grid. Harbor Freight has been adding a good number of new tools under their Bauer brand, both corded and cordless, and the most recent is a new corded swivel head sheet metal shears.
My thoughts: This new metal shears looks to be a great option for anyone who does lots of work with sheet metal panels, siding, roofing, plastic, and HVAC work. With the capacity to cut up to 14 gauge thick steel, users can cut a wide variety of types and thicknesses of sheet metal, roofing, plastic and siding. With a 5 amp motor, 360 degree swiveling head, and a variable speed trigger with a lock on button, this looks to be a well featured metal shear for a good price of $49.99.
