As someone who works in Industrial and Scientific fields I am always looking for power tools that offer versatility and durability. The universal shear exceeded my expectations; it can handle a range of materials and thickness with ease .The blades are sharp and cut cleanly. According to my experience, the grip is comfortable and secure, even when handling rough materials. The only downside is that it can be heavy if used for extended periods. overall, it's a reliable tool that gets the job done..
