Great tool but only improvement needed is a cutter on the end of blade to remove the remaining coil of steel that has been sheared...

If it would brushes then was fantastic product.
Great cut - used to fabricate patches for car (1.6mm steel). So easy to use, saving so much time. Allows for curves and follows scribe line really accurately without deforming edge. Takes a strip out of the metal so just be careful understanding which edge to place where. Great tool - pricey but worth it.
Best thing I’ve brought in years
