Minimize material loss and edge distortion with these scissor-like cutters that cut metal up to 1/64" thick. Also known as scissor-blade shears, the bottom blade remains stationary while the upper blade moves up and down to cut.

Convert your drill into a sheet metal cutter to make quick, low-effort cuts without a separate power tool. Insert the bit on these attachments into your chuck to power the jaws, then slide the telescoping clamp over the drill body to hold them in place. They’re quick to install and remove, so you can switch between cutting and drilling. These attachments have a rotating collar that can turn the cutting head 360° to make cuts at any angle.

Also known as scissor-blade shears, these attachments have a bottom blade that stays in place while the upper blade moves up and down, making clean cuts without deforming edges. If your tool runs at multiple speeds, the jaws do too. Choose a slow speed for curves and corners, or a fast speed for quick, straight cuts. To extend the life of the blades, adjust the clearance between the cutting jaws to suit the thickness of the material you’re cutting.

Made from lightweight aluminum and plastic, these attachments won’t weigh down your tool, so you can make one-handed cuts. Both the width and length of the clamp are adjustable, so they can fit around most corded or cordless drills, including impact drivers. Tighten onto your drill with a thumb screw. They also include spacers for extending the clamp to fit over large drills.

These nibblers punch small pieces out of material to create an almost burr-free cut with no material distortion. To start cuts in the center of material, drill a starting hole.

Also known as slotting shears, these cutters have a double blade that creates two cuts and a 7/32" wide waste strip that peels back, leaving two smooth edges with little distortion. To start cuts in the center of material, drill a starting hole.

Also known as scissor-blade shears, the bottom blade remains stationary while the upper blade moves up and down to cut metal up to 1/64" thick with minimal material loss and edge distortion.

Produce clean edges in a variety of pliable materials. Also known as scissor-blade shears, the bottom blade remains stationary while the upper blade moves up and down to cut. Blades do not close completely.

Leave clean cut edges in a variety of pliable materials. Also known as scissor-blade shears, the bottom blade remains stationary while the upper blade moves up and down to cut. Blades do not close completely.

Cut straight lines and patterns with the rotary blades on this cutter. It's not for cutting carpet, corrugated material, rubber, plastic, or metal.

Hexagonal blade chops through hard-to-cut fabric.

The included semi-square blade is for no-fray cuts. This cutter is not for cutting carpet, corrugated material, rubber, plastic, or metal.

Round blade trims and edges, but may cause fraying.

Hydraulic-powered jaws cut bolts, wire rope, rods, and electrical cable with low effort and minimal material distortion. Blades can be sharpened and replaced.

Cutter rated for 20,000 volts has insulated handles.

Push the button to cut aluminum and copper power and communication cable. Blades automatically open when the cut is complete. Head rotates 350° so you can cut in tight spots.

Good for high-volume cutting and trimming.

Handles have a safety lever that prevents accidental operation; push the thumb latch forward to activate.

Make clean cuts on threaded rod with the pull of a trigger. These battery-powered cutters require less time and exertion than manual threaded rod cutters and hacksaws, so they’re good for construction and other jobs with lots of cuts; a single battery charge cuts about 350 rods. Since you’re not tethered to an outlet, you can cut rod that’s already installed.

Unlike tools that cut with a fast-moving blade, such as circular saws, these cutters have a die that cuts smoothly and leaves no burrs. These dies won’t bind and seize or send sparks and chips flying. To switch between threaded rod sizes, just rotate the cutting die.

Slice through bolts and chain with low effort. A spring opens the jaws for quick cuts. Not for use on wire rope.

Also known as a 40-ton metalworker, these hydraulic machines handle a variety of forming tasks including pressing, punching, notching, and shearing. The safety guard complies with ANSI B11.8 standards. Machines require 1 1/2 gallons of Mobil DTE 24 Ultra or equivalent hydraulic oil (sold separately).
