Alligator Shears 

Our alligator shears are stationary, motorized devices that cut metal objects by passing a hinged, movable blade closely upright against a stationary base, usually attached to a flat surface on which the metal object is to be cut. Its unique design brings with it several advantages, such as:

• Little to no waste
• No use of heat
• Cuts softer metals with ease
• Adjustable voltage and frequency to suit the needs of any application

While they’re not suitable for massive metal sheets, alligator shears are a viable option for metal fabrication and cutting of various metal goods such as tubes, bars, and even I-beams. They’re also great for recycling scrap metal (extrusions, automobile radiators, gearboxes, and gates), deconstructing weaponry, and cutting wires before shredding them.
