Review on Makita JS3201 10 Gauge Shear by Richard Counts

Revainrating 4 out of 5

quality tool. Big Anvil. Can be difficult to manoeuvre.

Does its job well, but the black anvil is very large and interferes with my application. If you're just cutting flat metal with no burrs underneath, it's perfect. I was trying to cut a round bowl with items inside and it would be difficult for you to maneuver around obstacles. DO NOT loosen the screw protruding to the left of the anvil: it determines the thickness of the cut - learned the hard way. Also note that there is a thickness gauge in the plastic bag box which is easy to lose; I wish there was a place on the instrument to keep this thing.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Fade
