Compatible with most existing air supplies. A 45-degree brass elbow fitting (supplied) allows hose clearance when cutting and accepts any size quick connect hose adapter equipped with a male 1/4-inch pipe thread.

A wide jaw opening navigates cuts in auto body panels and profiles including layered metal, rocker panels and plastic bumpers. A sleek aluminum-cast shear head and compact pneumatic motor offer outstanding accessibility and control. Lateral blade adjustment capability ensures that optimum cutting performance and maneuverability can be maintained for the life of the blades. Service life of the blades is rated at 2500-ft. (762 mm) minimum in 24-ga. (0.61 mm) mild steel. The long-wearing blades are replaceable and easily installed on the job.
