Sheet Metal Shears Erdi D107-275L — left-bent, 275 mm cutting length

Erdi D107-275L — left-bent sheet metal shears with a 275 mm cutting length designed for manual cutting and shaping of thin sheet materials. The left-bent blade geometry provides improved access when making straight and contoured cuts from the left side of the cutting line, which is useful on gutters, roofing sheets and profiles. These hand shears combine a long cutting edge with lever-style handles to enable controlled trimming and shaping of metal sheets on-site or in the workshop.

Advantages

The left-bent design offers better visibility and clearance for cuts that require access from the left side, reducing obstruction from the operator’s hand and the sheet itself. The 275 mm cutting length allows longer continuous cuts and reduces the need for repeated repositioning. Lever-action handles translate manual force into effective blade movement for precise straight and profile cutting, while the hardened cutting edges maintain a clean cut on common roofing and sheet metals.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming roofing sheets and gutter sections
• Making straight and profile cuts in thin sheet metal
• On-site metalwork and maintenance tasks
• Work requiring left-side access or clearance during cutting

Key specifications

• Cutting length: 275 mm
• Blade orientation: left-bent for left-side clearance
• Tool type: manual sheet metal shears
• Intended materials: thin sheet metals used in roofing, gutters and light fabrication
• Operation: lever/hand-operated for controlled manual cutting

How to use

Position the sheet metal so the intended cut line aligns with the blade and ensure the workpiece is supported to prevent bending. Hold the shears by the handles with a firm grip and keep fingers clear of the blade path. For straight cuts, open the handles fully and close them smoothly along the cut line, advancing progressively along the sheet. For profiles or curves, make incremental cuts and reposition the sheet as needed to maintain control. Use the left-bent orientation to approach cuts from the left side or where extra clearance is required.

Usage recommendations

For best results, inspect blade sharpness before use and replace or regrind blades when they show signs of dulling to maintain clean cuts. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when cutting sheet metal. Secure the workpiece and avoid excessive twisting forces that could damage the tool or distort the material.
