Hand Lever Shear
Product Code : LSK-WT-10552
Hand Lever Shear (SKU LSK-WT-10552) is a manually operated lever cutter with 200 mm blades for shearing round bars and reinforcement steel up to at least 16 mm. It needs no power supply, so it works in a steel-fixing yard or on site. Construction, bar-bending and fabrication trainees use it to cut rebar to length. Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India to technical institutes, contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Every technical detail of the Hand Lever Shear is listed in the table below. In short, a long hand lever multiplies the operator's force onto 200 mm blades that shear round bars of at least 16 mm and cut 16 mm reinforcement steel, with no power supply, heat or sparks at the point of work.

Applications and Experiments for the Hand Lever Shear
In steel-fixing and construction courses the lever shear is used to cut reinforcement bars to the lengths shown on a bar-bending schedule. Trainees learn to measure, mark and cut bars cleanly without heat or sparks, and to position the bar fully between the blades before applying force.
- Bar bending and steel fixing trades (TVET, ITI/NSQF construction courses): cutting rebar to schedule lengths.
- Building-construction and civil engineering diploma workshops: preparing reinforcement for beams, columns and slabs.
- Fabrication and welding workshops: cutting round bar stock up to 16 mm, while flat steel up to 70 x 6 mm can be cut on a Manual Hand Shear.
Keep fingers clear of the blades and the lever path, wear heavy-duty gloves such as Welding Leather Gloves and safety footwear, and support long bars so they do not spring when cut.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Hand Lever Shear is supplied as a single tool with its 200 mm blades, as described above. The specification lists no additional parts; spare blades or any other accessories can be added as separate items on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a quotation for one shear or several for a steel-fixing workshop, and each quotation states the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Other workshop tools for technical training institutes can be added to the same order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size of bar can the Hand Lever Shear cut?
It is specified for round bars of at least 16 mm and for cutting 16 mm reinforcement steel, using 200 mm blades.
Does it need electricity?
No. It is operated entirely by hand through the lever, so it can be used in outdoor yards and on sites without a power supply, with no sparks or heat.
Who supplies the Hand Lever Shear?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, for vocational institutes, polytechnics, construction contractors and distributors, alongside other site tools.
Is it suitable for trainee use?
Yes, with supervision. Cutting by lever teaches safe rebar handling before trainees move to powered cutters; they should keep hands clear of the blades at all times.
