Kett KL-200 straight-handle shears help reduce waste

The KL-200 double-cut shears from Kett Tool Co. cut cold-rolled and stainless steel without warping or bending the finished piece, resulting in less wasted materials, states the manufacturer.

The lightweight shears can be maneuvered easily to follow a scribed line. They can cut a radius as small as 6 in.

The shears’ dual blades transfer any distortion produced in cutting to a 7/32-in. waste strip, leaving behind material edges that are not hardened or burred. The blades’ swiping action also seals edges of coated metals.
