Power Hand Shears

Harry Thompson IVSeptember 2nd, 2018

Conklin stocks three types of power hand shears—unishears (S series), double cut shears (C series), and nibblers (N series).  In addition, the nibbler has a variation in the cutting head that with a quick changeout can convert the round head of the standard nibbler to a square head to become a profile nibbler (PN).

  • Turns quickly = S series
  • Best at following a marked line = S series
  • Cuts best circles = N series
  • Cuts at a right angle = PN series
  • Can cut upside down = S series
  • Cuts spiral pipe Lockseam = C and PN series
  • Easiest to use = N and C series
  • Punches while it cuts = N and PN series
  • Most difficult to use = S series
  • Most versatile (bc you can change out the head) = N and PN series
  • Leaves one of the two pieces deformed = S series
  • No material loss = S series
  • No waste strip or chips = S series
  • Touch-ups in field during install = N series
  • Clearest view of cutting line = S series
  • Leaves two pieces with no deformation = C series
  • Stainless blades optional and easy to add = C and S series
  • Distortion-free cutting = N, PN, and C series
  • Best at interior cutouts = PN and N series
  • Best at cutting exterior of Double Wall Spiral = C series
  • Best to use in place of a 52" stomp shear = C series
  • Best at interior cutouts that have a spiral seam = PN series
  • Best to use in a clean room = S and C series
  • Most powerful for its size = N and PN series
  • Best tool for cutting around a Rectangular Duct = PN series
  • Tool that accommodates a 7" stem with blade for extra-deep cut = PN series
  • Leaves chip waste = N and PN series (note: all chips fall under the cut, never above the cutting area)
