Kett , Model K442 16-gauge variable speed shears, August 10, 2002
Reviewer: Scott E. Green from Dansville, New York United States
For a living , I work with sheets of copper , aluminum , and sheet metal. I started out useing air shears. Then went to a better pair of air shears. They worked ok. But taking the compressor , hoses , etc. to every job site got old in a hurry. Not to mention that the compressor didn't quite keep up with the air shears. After 50+ copper roofs , I thought I would try electric shears. So I did my reserch. These Kett shears were my choice. Let me tell you. These Kett shears make the air shears look sick. No comparison. The Kett shears are variable speed , and very powerfull. Lots of power to spare. No heavy air hose to drag and catch on things. No compressor and hoses to lugg around. Etc. , Etc.. I would recommend these shears to anyone who wants a good quality pair of shears. I rated these shears at a "5" , and now I know why the others had also rated them at a "5". The metal box (an option) is a little big for the shears , but it works. The box is very well built , and is worth the money.

Wish I would have purchased this Kett shear months ago. Can't believe the speed and smoothness of the cut. Quite a time saver!
