Questions & Answers

What are the cutting capabilities of this cutter for stainless steel 20 gauge?

The answer is yes. Cutting sheetmetal for car projects is one of the main uses of this tool

Is this shear capable of cutting a radius both in the right direction and in the It is capable of cutting a minimum radius, how large can it be?

My radius on 18 gauge has been cut down to roughly 3 inches in both directions. That would be a much tighter cut.

Do you think this tool will cut flat or curved metals? Forming metal into a curve or stamping metal with preforms. Having to remove the floor of the car for replacement is necessary. ?

attempted to cut steel corrugated pole barn metal, but it didn't I've tried it on flat panels and it seems to work. Cutting sections of vehicle floors with a sawzall, equipped with short metal cutting blades, and a cheap air powered hacksaw has been my experience.

What type of case does this come with?

You will not receive a carrying case with it

Selected User Reviews For Makita JS1602 16 Gauge Shear, Blue

I did not get the results I was hoping for but they were still helpful in certain circumstances

3/5

There could be a better way to do this. Basically, it's good for trimming the perimeter, but if you try to cut a piece in half requiring two pieces, the cutting process will damage one of the pieces.

All my life I have been wondering where you are

5/5

It is top notch. It is easy to use and makes straight cuts. I have used it on aluminum diamond plate and I was extremely happy with its performance. Let's admit that I am not an expert tin knocker, but this is an excellent machine when compared to a nibbler.

Despite being disappointed, Hubby left the store

3/5

This is his third shear, which he says is useless. He does HVAC so he has had multiple shears in the past.

A quality product

4/5

It works great for ripping sheet without excessive dimpling, and making turns is easy with it, as always. I've only owned it for about a month but it has a lot of power and is rugged and very reliable. My only issue with the thumb switch is that it's a little small.
