METAL CUTTING SHEARS
Long handled metal shears, with a 19 centimetre cutting edge. The two halves are held together with a bolt, just below the cutting edge. On the end of each handle, are metal rods at right angles to the blade, the longer one fits into the workbench while the upper one prevents the cutters from over lapping, also from crushing your fingers.
Large metal shears designed to fit into a workbench. Brian Powell used them when he was manufacturing water tanks on Fourth Road,(now known as Tudor Road).
He built tanks to hold 1000 to 3000 Gallons, and sold them via a co op throughout Armadale, Serpentine and Jarrahdale. His tanks were sold in Kelmscott, Armadale, Bedfordale, Roleystone and down past Jarrahdale.
