Rod shears STANLEY ST-1-17-753 750 mm tubular handle

Rod shears STANLEY ST-1-17-753 750 mm tubular handle are hand-operated cutting pliers designed for shearing metal rods, light rebar, wire and similar round-section materials. The tool pairs a compact blade assembly with a long tubular handle to provide greater leverage and control during on-site cutting tasks. Construction-grade materials and a robust joint deliver consistent cutting performance for maintenance, repair and general metalworking applications.

Advantages

The tubular 750 mm handle increases mechanical advantage, reducing user effort when cutting thicker rods. A compact blade assembly concentrates force at the cutting edge for cleaner shears and improved durability. The design balances blade accessibility with handle length to allow use in confined spaces while still offering extended reach. The tool is suitable for repeated use on construction sites due to its sturdy construction and simple, serviceable mechanism.

Suitable for

• Cutting metal rods and light rebar
• Shearing wire and small-diameter round stock
• On-site maintenance and repair work
• Metalworking tasks where handheld shears are preferred

Key specifications

• Overall handle length: 750 mm tubular handle for increased leverage
• Tool type: rod shears / hand shears for round-section materials
• Blade assembly: compact shear head concentrating cutting force
• Intended materials: metal rods, light rebar, wire, small-diameter round stock
• Construction: durable metal body and joint suitable for field use

How to use

Position the rod or wire between the blades as close to the shear head as possible for efficient cutting. Grip the tubular handle firmly with both hands to apply steady pressure and make a controlled shearing action. For thicker or harder materials, use slow, even force to complete the cut and avoid twisting the tool. After use, wipe the blades clean and store the shears in a dry place to minimise corrosion and maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves during cutting operations. Inspect the blades and joint periodically for wear or damage and replace or service components when cutting quality degrades. Use the shears only on materials within the tool's intended cutting range to avoid premature wear or damage.
