FEIN BLS 2.5 E Shear for Sheet Metal

The FEIN BLS 2.5 E shear cuts sheet metal with a single-cut action at up to 1 700 strokes per minute. It handles steel up to 12 gauge and stainless steel up to 19 gauge. A 360-degree swivel head and 16.4 ft cord give freedom of movement around the workpiece.

Best for Straight and Curved Sheet-Metal Cuts

This tool suits fabricators and maintenance crews who need clean scroll cuts in thin gauge metal with a minimum radius of 3/4 in. It is not for cutting plate thicker than 12 gauge steel or 19 gauge stainless, nor for users who need a double-cut or nibbler action for wider kerf removal.

Corded Electric Operation with Variable Speed

The 2.9 A motor runs on standard mains power and delivers 800 to 1 700 spm for material-matched speed control. No battery platform or compressor is required, freeing bench space and eliminating charge cycles. The long cord reaches across a workbay without an extension lead.

Questions about this item

What power source is needed to run the 2.9 A motor?

Connect the 16.4 ft cord to a standard mains outlet; the tool draws 2.9 A and requires no battery or separate transformer.

Can the 360° swivel head still manoeuvre when cutting thicker 12 ga steel?

Yes, the head rotates a full 360° regardless of material, so you can follow curves in 12 ga steel or thinner 19 ga stainless without repositioning the handle.

How do I confirm the shear is delivering the rated 1 700 spm under load?

Listen for a steady, high-pitched stroke rhythm and verify clean, burr-free edges on 12 ga steel at the 3/4 in minimum radius; a drop in speed or ragged cuts signals an issue.
