Bernardo Lever Shear HS 5
The Bernardo Lever Shear HS 5 is a practical and robust tool, ideal for cutting sheet metal, round bars, and flat steel. It is a universal manual shear, perfect for blacksmiths, installers, and training workshops, thanks to its cutting geometry which reduces operator effort. The machine body is made of durable steel sheet, with preparation for workbench mounting, ensuring stability and safety. The upper blade features a through-hole, useful for precise cutting of round material. Furthermore, the height-adjustable hold-down device prevents sheet metal torsion during cutting, ensuring uniform and accurate finishes. Compact and lightweight (9 kg), it is easily positioned and suitable for daily workshop tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum thickness for aluminum and stainless steel?
The nominal thickness of 1.5 mm refers to S235 steel (400 N/mm²). For aluminum, the capacity increases by 30–50% (approx. 2.1 mm). For AISI 304 stainless steel, the capacity is reduced by 30–40% (approx. 1.0 mm).
Are the blades replaceable?
Yes. The cutting blades are replaceable when worn or damaged. Original Bernardo replacement blades available with 3–5 business day shipping.
Does it require fixed installation or is it used on a workbench?
Most Bernardo lever shears are secured to a workbench or floor with bolts. They do not require a special foundation. More compact versions can also be used in a bench vise.
Does the Bernardo Lever Shear HS 5 also cut copper and brass?
Yes. Copper and brass have lower resistance than S235 steel: the effective capacity on copper is similar to aluminum (approx. 2.1 mm). For specific alloys, contact Krollit for verification.
Are assistance and spare parts available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 business day shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
