Wiss 428N General Purpose Offset Handle Shears

Product Description

The WISS 428N is a general purpose shear designed for cutting tasks in HVAC, sheet metal, and related trade applications. Built with a metal handle in an offset style, the 428N delivers added clearance and control when cutting along flat surfaces or working in tight spaces. The overall length of 8.125 inches and a 5.75-inch length of cut make this a mid-size tool suited for both bench work and field use. The black standard-grip handle provides a firm hold during repetitive cutting operations. Licensed tradespeople and experienced technicians will find this shear appropriate for ductwork, flashing, and general fabrication tasks.

The WISS 428N is intended for general purpose cutting applications across sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, and related trade work. The offset handle style raises the hand above the cutting plane, reducing knuckle clearance issues on flat stock. At 8.125 inches overall, the tool fits standard tool pouches and bags. It is sold individually and is appropriate for residential and light commercial job sites where a reliable hand shear is needed for miscellaneous cutting tasks.

Designed as a general purpose hand shear suitable for cutting sheet metal, ductwork, flashing, and similar materials in HVAC and sheet metal fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Use of this shear does not require electrical shutoff or gas isolation, but standard PPE including cut-resistant gloves is recommended when handling sheet metal edges. Sheet metal and HVAC tradespeople should inspect blade alignment before use and avoid cutting materials that exceed the rated capacity of the tool. Store blades closed when not in use to prevent edge damage and reduce injury risk.
