Bernardo Lever Shears HS 6
The Bernardo Lever Shears HS 6 are robust and versatile manual shears, ideal for cutting sheet metal, round bars, and steel flats. Designed for installers, blacksmiths, and training workshops, they offer a maximum cutting length of 110 mm and a capacity of up to 4.0 mm on sheet metal (400 N/mm², not across the entire length). They can cut round bars up to Ø 11 mm and flats up to 50 x 4 mm. The upper blade features a through-hole for precise cutting of round material, while the height-adjustable hold-down device prevents sheet metal torsion during processing. The optimized blade geometry reduces the effort required, and the special shape allows for easy material insertion. Compact and lightweight (11 kg), it is pre-drilled for workbench mounting.

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). On aluminum, the capacity increases by 30–50% (approximately 2.1 mm). On AISI 304 stainless steel, the capacity is reduced by 30–40% (approximately 1.0 mm).
Are the blades replaceable?
Yes. The cutting blades are replaceable when worn or damaged. Original Bernardo replacement blades are 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 with a workbench vise.
Can the Bernardo Lever Shears HS 6 also cut copper and brass?
Yes. Copper and brass have lower resistance than S235 steel: the actual capacity on copper is similar to aluminum (approximately 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 in Italian available.
