Hi Folks,
Does anyone have any opinions on any of these electric shears please?
Hitachi CE16SA Hand Shear 16 Gauge, Portable
Makita 1.6MM SHEAR JS1600
or
Metabo 550 Watt curve shear Ku 6870
It will be for occasional use on steel, stainless or aluminium. They are expensive so I want to make the right choice. The Metabo is more powerful than the other two but also quite heavy and the distance between the cutter and the handle/body looks a bit leggy - it could be awkward in use? At the moment I'm leaning towards the Hitachi. Anyone got experience of using either of these or opinions on the brands in general?
Cheers,
