An Alligator Shear, historically known as a Lever Shear, is a metal-cutting shear with a hinged jaw, powered by a flywheel or a hydraulic cylinder. The jaw size can range from 4 to 36 in (100 to 910 mm) long. They are generally used to cut steel members, such as rebar, pipe, angle iron or I-beams. With an automatic cutting cycle and complete with fork truck lifting pockets the new alligator shear weighs much less than the traditional shears and has a more material cutting capacity of upto70mm mild steel bar.
