Power Hand Shears
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 wastestrip 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 cut outs = 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 cut outs 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 7” stem with blade for extra deep cut = PN series
- Leaves chip waste = N and PN series (note: all chips fall under cut, never above cutting area)
