Makita JS3201 10-Gauge Power Shear

[PROSTOCKTOM]

Mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year and I told her I had been looking at a Makita 10-gauge electric power shear. Come Christmas day that's what I got

Went to Harbor Freight tonight and bought an Extra-Large Apache case to put it in since Makita doesn't have a worthy case for such a fine tool.

I watch Karl Fisher @ Make It Kustom all the time on YouTube and he's always buzzing around with this shear.

Tomorrow I am going to give it a go on some 18-gauge I've been waiting to cut some pieces out of.

Can't wait to get to start using this.

Nice. I bought a slightly different model...the DJS200 shears. Cuts nice and fast without leaving waving/daggy edges.

I used it for cutting fridge panels for my garden shed. Way faster than the circular saw blade with a steel bade, and no mess and virtually no noise.

Does that head rotate?

I have a corded version of that in a Milwaukee that I've owned for 4-5 years and have never cut the first piece with it.

Cordless would be really handy in a lot of places.

Thinking my next purchase is going to be a B2 Beverly shear.

Yes, you can rotate the head to suit the job.

I like battery stuff now as they don't need testing and you don't have to worry about extension cords getting cut or pulled out.

Also you can work in the rain and outside with no fear.
