Excellent cutters even for seniors with grip and hand issues!
Well built and extremely effective and easy to use. Cuts binding flat cable like butter and feels great in hand. Super easy to use even for two seniors with grip and hand issues. Would trust this company for other products.

High quality tool!
Very impressed with the quality. I work for a Bobcat dealer and we all share this tool. 6months in and it still cuts through steel straps like its plastic. Much better than expected! Keep the tension on the pivot bolt and it will last forever. It does have a locking nut. I only had to tighten a tiny bit after the paint wore down in-between the two halfs as the tool was broken in. Handles grips are not the kind that will slip off or move. In short this gets all day use for six months and a small child could still cut steel straps easily.

Great product for price
They get the job done with a little elbow greece. Not much leverage on them really small cutters but they do cut metal bands good just have to figure out how to jimmy them under the tite metal bands in order to cut with them would like to see a longer handle version please but for price they are a good product and you can get the job done.

This is the right tool if you need to cut steel strapping
I have seen so many super expensive steel strapping cutting tool and this one can do the exactly same work at a much friendly price. Very easy to use and cut steel strapping as paper, worth it.

I bought these strapping shears to replace the worn out old shears at work that we used for our steel strapping. These shears work really well and the rubberized handles help reduce slipping. The price for these shears also can't be beat, since they are identical to the branded ones U-Line sells, but are $22 cheaper and Amazon offers free shipping, while U-Line's shipping charges an additional $16 on top of their shears that are already more expensive.
