The No. 1 Portable Shear can be easily mounted in a vise, according to company officials. A special latched hinge permits vise or bench mounting. The 24-in. handle mechanism is designed to work in a compound fashion and provide easy cutting action. It can shear 1/8-in. mild steel, and the rod can cut 5/16-in. mild steel. The offset frame permits shearing of wide sheets, straight cuts or outside curves. The blades are made of tool steel.
