Apex 428N Industrial Shears Nickel Plated 3.375 Inch

Product Description

The APEX 428N is a pair of industrial-grade shears built for professional cutting applications in trade and field environments. The blade is finished in nickel plating over high carbon steel, delivering edge retention and corrosion resistance through repeated use. At 3.375 inches of blade length, the shears handle fabric and thread cutting with a sharp point style suited to precision work. Ambidextrous handle design accommodates both right- and left-handed users, and the black handles are hard stamped for permanent identification. This tool is sold as a single unit and weighs 0.4 pounds.

The 428N is intended for professionals who need reliable cutting performance on fabric and thread in installation, maintenance, or light fabrication settings. Overall tool dimensions are 8 inches in length and 4.2 inches in width, making it compact enough for a tool pouch or service bag. Electricians, HVAC installers, and general trade technicians commonly use industrial shears like these for cutting insulation wrap, duct liner fabric, wire bundling sleeve, and similar soft materials encountered on the job.

Installation Notes

These shears require no installation and are ready to use out of the package. Keep blades clean and dry after use to maintain the nickel-plated finish and edge quality. Do not use these shears on materials outside their rated cut types, such as wire, sheet metal, or hard plastics, as doing so may damage the blade edge.
