Shears MODECO MN-63-210 long articulated metal cutting shears straight blades 290mm

Shears MODECO MN-63-210 long articulated metal cutting shears straight blades 290mm are manual cutting shears designed for straight and precise cuts in sheet metal. The tool combines a long 290 mm straight blade with a jointed handle mechanism that increases leverage and control when cutting thin to medium gauge metal sheets. The robust construction and ergonomic articulation make these shears suitable for workshop, construction, and maintenance tasks where accurate linear trimming of panels and metal parts is required.

Advantages

The jointed handle provides improved mechanical advantage for easier cutting of metal sheets with less user force. A 290 mm straight blade ensures long, continuous cuts and stable guidance along the cutting line. The shears are built to withstand repetitive manual use and offer controlled, accurate trimming for sheet edges and panels. The simple straight-blade design minimizes material deformation during cutting, allowing cleaner edges on thin and medium thickness metals.

Suitable for

• Cutting thin to medium sheet metal
• Straight trimming of metal panels and cladding
• Workshop metalworking and maintenance tasks
• Precise linear cuts where control and minimal distortion are required

Key specifications

• Blade length: 290 mm straight blades designed for long cuts
• Tool type: long articulated hand shears for metal cutting
• Cutting action: jointed handle for increased leverage and control
• Intended material: thin to medium gauge sheet metal
• Typical applications: panel trimming, linear cutting, maintenance and workshop use

How to use

Position the shears so the straight blades align with the intended cutting line on the sheet metal. Support the material near the cut to reduce vibration and prevent bending. Squeeze the articulated handles steadily to advance the blades through the metal in a single, controlled motion for long cuts; for thicker areas or curves, make multiple shallow passes rather than forcing the tool. Keep hands and workpieces stable and wear appropriate eye and hand protection when cutting metal.

Usage recommendations

Use these shears for straight-line cutting of sheet metal up to the recommended thickness range, and avoid twisting the blades or using the tool on materials thicker than intended. Regularly inspect and, if applicable, sharpen or service the blades to maintain cutting performance and safety.
