Bernardo HS 300 x 1.5 Hand Lever Shear
The Bernardo HS 300 x 1.5 Hand Lever Shear is a practical, lightweight, and versatile tool, ideal for quick and efficient cutting of various materials. With a cutting length of 300 mm, it can work with sheet metal up to 1.5 mm thick (aluminum), 0.8 mm in steel, and other thin materials, making it perfect for both artisanal and professional use. It is equipped with a 210 mm back gauge and a 190 mm table stop, both with a millimetre scale to ensure precise and repeatable cuts. The hardened and ground steel blades ensure a long lifespan, while the optimized blade geometry reduces operator effort. Thanks to its low weight (19 kg), it is easily transportable and also ideal for mobile use. An economical and robust solution for workshops, schools, and craft work.

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% (approximately 2.1 mm). For 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 spare blades available with 3–5 working days shipping.
Does it require fixed installation or is it used on a workbench?
Most Bernardo lever shears are fixed to a workbench or floor with bolts. They do not require a special foundation. More compact versions can also be used with a workbench vice.
Does the Bernardo HS 300 x 1.5 Hand Lever Shear also cut copper and brass?
Yes. Copper and brass have lower resistance than S235 steel: the effective capacity for copper is similar to aluminum (approximately 2.1 mm). For specific alloys, contact Krollit for verification.
Is assistance and spare parts available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 working days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
