Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Shop power shear distributors for a range of shears and brands
If you're looking for a specific type of shears, such as metal cutting shears or concrete cutting shears, you may want to find large power shear suppliers that carry a range of shears and brand names. Hardware stores and home supply stores, as well as online tool retailers, offer a range of brands and tools to fit your needs.
I recommend: Shop
ContractorsTools.com and
Tools-plus.com for a good selection of power shears and brands. You can shop by tool or by brand, get product specifications and prices, and order online.
Buy direct from power shear manufacturers
If you want to purchase your power shears directly from the manufacturer, you can use a number of manufacturer search tools to find available manufacturers of the product you need. Most manufacturer searches are for overseas manufacturers and may involve additional shipping costs.
I recommend: ExportersIndia.com and
AsianProducts are two manufacturer searches that match you up with the manufacturers of the product you need. When searching for power shears on one of these sites, you will receive a company name and contact information rather than prices or product specifications.
Look for power shears for sale used or at a discount
You can get a great deal on power shears if you buy from a discount tool retailer or tool outlet store, or if you choose to participate in a tool exchange where you can list your own tools and buy used tools directly from other owners. Remember to get information on tool quality and potential damage when buy used or from an outlet, which may offer refurbished rather than new tools.
I recommend: Tyler Tool is an online tool outlet that offers discount prices. Search from the homepage by brand or tool to find power shears for sale.
A-1 Wholesale Tool has been selling tools at wholesale prices for 30 years.
