New Tool Day: Kett Power Shear

27 Jul 2024

Oh well, this orb keeps spinning and throws stuff at you some good, some well maybe not so good. I made a detour to the 25 cents shop to see if they had gotten in some more sockets. BTW they are only $5.00 each. that's about 75% off the truck, so what they are a little used. As I turned to go and pay up I think there were 3 of them, I saw what looked like an electric drill, but there was something familiar with the nose and no chuck. I was a power nibbler, a Kett KD-400 Power Shear, which will cut 18ga steel and 20 ga stainless. When I looked down at the price I was shocked, it was 33 bucks. I did not even check eBay! (later their cheap one was over 50 bucks and it looked roched!

Needless to say, it followed me home! I can put to good work on the sim. I am tired of cutting holes badly with the zip saw! I will put a pic up soon as well as the price tag!!

So here is a nice vid showing the tool off.

Impressive, looks like a very clean cut from the video. I wouldn't have expected that if someone had described the tool to me.

I was looking for gardening snips for my mum, and noticed that there are motorized versions of those too. But, I couldn't see many (any) safety features, so I passed on that since elderly hands shake a bit. I think the manufacturers need to do a much better job with say sensors that detect where both hands are before actuating garden shears.
