Shear - Large, Long Ergonomic Handle (Swanstrom® NR1721)
The Swanstrom NR1721 Large Shear is a professional-grade cutting tool designed for smooth, controlled shear cutting in demanding fabrication environments. Engineered for jewelry makers, wire workers, and precision metal fabricators, this tool delivers clean, scissor-like cuts with excellent control and reduced material distortion. The shear-style cutting action allows the blades to bypass one another, producing smooth separation rather than a crushing cut—ideal for both wire and light sheet applications.
Built with a large head design, the NR1721 offers increased cutting stability and durability, making it well-suited for repeated use on tougher materials. The long ergonomic handles provide superior leverage while minimizing hand fatigue, allowing for extended work sessions without sacrificing precision or comfort. Whether used in production settings or detailed bench work, this shear is designed to maintain consistent performance under professional demands.
Precision-machined from high-quality alloy steel, the NR1721 is built for long-term durability, edge stability, and reliable alignment, ensuring clean cuts and dependable results over time.
