Sheet Metal Right-Cutting Shears MODECO CLASSIC MN-63-185 250 mm

MODECO CLASSIC MN-63-185 right-cutting sheet metal shears with a 250 mm blade are a hand tool intended for manual cutting of thin metal sheets and trim. Designed for straight and curved cuts, these shears combine a robust forged cutting head with ergonomic handles to facilitate controlled trimming and shaping of panels, ducts and flashings used in metalworking, repair and HVAC tasks.

Advantages

The shears deliver precise right-hand cuts along straight lines and tight radii thanks to a long 250 mm blade and hardened cutting edges. A sturdy construction reduces blade flex during cutting, while the ergonomic handles improve grip and reduce hand fatigue during repeated use. The straightforward mechanical design allows easy maintenance and blade alignment for consistent performance over time.

Suitable for

• Cutting thin sheet metal such as steel, aluminium and tinplate
• Trimming metal panels and flashings in HVAC and roofing work
• Shaping and trimming ducts, vents and enclosures
• DIY repair, maintenance and small fabrication tasks

Key specifications

• Cut type: right-cutting (shears designed to cut on the right side of the material)
• Blade length: 250 mm
• Intended material thickness: thin metal sheets and trim (typical for hand-operated sheet metal shears)
• Construction: forged cutting head with hardened cutting edges for durability
• Handle: ergonomic manual handles for improved grip and control

How to use

Position the sheet metal between the blades with the cut line aligned to the edge of the shear designed for right-hand cutting. Apply steady hand pressure while guiding the shears along the intended path to produce straight or curved cuts; for tight radii, turn the sheet gradually while cutting. Keep fingers clear of the blades and use clamps to secure large panels to prevent slipping. After use, wipe the blades clean and apply a light protective oil to the cutting surfaces to minimise corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use these shears on appropriately thin sheet metals and avoid cutting hardened or highly abrasive materials. Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection when cutting, and store the tool in a dry place to preserve blade condition.
