Cement Board Kutter
Used the shear to cut 1/4" cement board for flooring underlay, it cut like going through butter. I was even able to do some simple cut-out around vent holes. If you are cutting cement board, buy or rent this tool, it makes cutting cement board a breeze with no airborne dust. I have used an abrasive blade and cutter in the past, this is the only way to go cutting cement board. The pins used to hold the blade can be abused; they work great as long as you let the shear do the work.

Kett and Porter Cable Shears (same difference)
I own a set of the Kett and the Porter Cable siding shears.They appear to be exactly the same.In fact I've replaced the blades in the Porter Cable with the Kett replacement set. You get the center and both side blades for less than you pay for just the PC center blade.
They both have the same problem. The bolts that hold the blades in are constantly breaking,and can be a pain to replace.

buy a dewalt
My new Kett KE440 shears quit after one hour of use. Motor wasn't getting juice, loose wire. It took Kett an unreasonably long time to turn around the warranty repair, and they had to be called once and asked where is it. Seems the product quality is low, and the people aren't too concerned about their buyers. Buy a DeWalt, I did.

Kett KE440 14-Gauge Power Shears A nice addition to my tools
I read the only review of this product before I ordered mine.. and the previous reviewer seems not to like his... so with a slight amount of trepidation I ordered a shear of my own.... ( I already own the 18 guage version and the 16 gage additional head) I am currently working on a project covering skateboard ramps with 14 guage steel to protect them from the elements... I didn't think my 16 guage shear was going to be long for this world using it on the heavier metal...So I got this one... It is doing an awe-inspirng job.... I have used in the past the shears with two jaws... like the Bosch and the Dewalt....and for doing tight radius' they are great... but these cut straight lines effortlessly and will do larger radii quite well. On a skate ramp 5 foot radii would be tight... I am thoroughly satified with these shears and would highly recomend them to anyone...The Variable speed option is great.... I didn't think I would care about it....I would however ..based on my previous experience with Kett products, get a spare set of teeth (jaws?) because surprizes happen... All in all I'm very happy.. I would also reccomend the metal case... It's a handy place to keep your spare cutters and the grease...

so far not so good
The first time I used this tool with the nibbler attachment I had a problem with the metal shavings galding to the punch.I have to use tapping compound to keep this from happening. I build metal building and use this tool on rather light,26 and 29 gage sheet metal.I am going to contact the company and see if they have any suggestions.

Good Quality at a resonable price
I would highly recommend this tool for the do-it-yourselfer who wants a professional quality tool to do sheet metal cutting on a not so regular basis. It is made to much the same standards as Ketts commercial products but at half the cost. ... Read more

Kett , Model K442 16-gauge variable speed shears
For a living , I work with sheets of copper , aluminum , and sheet metal. I started out useing air shears. Then went to a better pair of air shears. They worked ok. But taking the compressor , hoses , etc. to every job site got old in a hurry. Not to mention that the compressor didn't quite keep up with the air shears. After 50+ copper roofs , I thought I would try electric shears. So I did my reserch. These Kett shears were my choice. Let me tell you. These Kett shears make the air shears look sick. No comparison. The Kett shears are variable speed , and very powerfull. Lots of power to spare. No heavy air hose to drag and catch on things. No compressor and hoses to lugg around. Etc. , Etc.. I would recommend these shears to anyone who wants a good quality pair of shears. I rated these shears at a "5" , and now I know why the others had also rated them at a "5". The metal box (an option) is a little big for the shears , but it works. The box is very well built , and is worth the money.

Like a Hot Knife Thru Butter
Wish I would have purchased this Kett shear months ago. Can't believe the speed and smoothness of the cut. Quite a time saver!

the best tool for the job
