Bosch's 1507 (10 gauge) shear is one of the more powerful tools in its class offering craftsmen an excellent tool, a surprising value, and one of the strongest, most high-performance metal cutters in the business. Ideal for industrial maintenance departments or structural fabrication shops, the tool boasts an 8.6 amp motor and 1,770 SPM (strokes per minute) for brilliant power and precision. Weighing only 10 lbs the shear is also relatively lightweight offering craftsmen the best of both comfort and performance. The shear's two-handed control ensures optimal manageability during heavy or challenging cutting jobs, and with a low vibration design, those tough jobs are all the more precisely conquered. One of the better features of this particular shear is that as you cut, the blade remains visible, this allows you keep your eyes infinitely on both blade and cut-line for the most precise and careful cuts.
