Great video! I never would have expected that Harbor Fright shear to work that well!

Thanks for doing that review...it may help a lot of people! I liked the way you went through the blade adjustment before using the tool! Smart! The performance of the tool could have been affected by the cutter being out of spec! Be safe!

Cut so easy, worth $36. Thanks for the review

Great video review. Looks perfect for hobbyist junk art I do!

Awesome tool review action today. Thanks for the video

Impressive cheap tool, I'll probably pick one up next time I go there. Nice hands on review !

You just saved me the trouble of testing one out. Thanks for the review! I'm always cutting stuff out with my grinder w/cut off wheels, something like that would be ideal for cutting out patches when doing body work. Really enjoying your channel, keep up the good work!

Thanks. Not a fan of cheap HF power tools, but for the few times I used this it worked good enough.

Very good review -- THANKS!

Nice review. This is gonna save me a few bucks.

Thanks for the review! Unless your a 6 man high production shop, Harbor Frieght tools are cost effective. I have done business with Eric's company since 1979!

Seems clean. My instincts would have pointed me toward an angle grinder or maybe a jigsaw with lots of little teeth if I needed to cut different angles. Maybe I have an excuse to get another power tool. Thanks.

Exelent tool!.

They use the same motor and body for a whole series of tools. It would be great if they sold different head assemblies for different jobs to be used on the one body. I guess they make more by doing it the way they do. For around the house jobs, you can't beat their oscillating tool and the many heads/blades you can get.

I need to cut corrugated galvanized roofing tin.. most shears work ok on flat metal so this didn't apply for my use..but overall good video.. you could zoom in more on what you're doing so we can see a little better.. but the sound quality and volume was great!! Thanx.

USA a straight edge to guide nibbler....would you use a circular saw cutting sheet plywood without a straight edge

Sweet intro, man!

Tengo un problema alguien me puede ayudar?, después de calibrar las cuchillas de mi cizalla al hacer el corte de lámina lisa calibre 22 y 24 deja un pequeño doblez, me pueden decir como soluciono ese problema o es que así deja el doblez, no hace un corte limpio es problema de la cizalla? Gracias de antemano

The right side of the tool at the front has flat vertical sides. I wonder if cut guides couldn't be used to make straighter cuts. I like Made in China tools. They should come with up to twelve uses and a 90-day warranty, whichever comes first.

I'm not totally clear on the blade adjustment. If you are adjusting the gap between the fixed base blade and the moving jaw blade, you can do that with the base blade adjustment only. What does the upper moving jaw adjustment control?

Not sure. Haven't adjusted it since this video was made

Looks to make better curved cuts than str8

Thank you for the review. I can't help but wonder why not clamps and a jig for the long straight cut, masons and carpenters use that method with perfect results. Just sayin', not a criticism.

Proper blade and a jig saw would work well too. You can set up a straight edge and get a very straight line. Or use a circular saw with metal blade. More accurate, I think,

Trata de poner la lamina en un lugar muy plano y una tabla que sostenga el otro extremo de la lamina en su caida lo mas recto posible. ya que una ligera presion en el corte de salida. te dara 2 milimetros de radio y como es lamina muy delgada. no se mantiene la rectitud
