Kett Tool eliminates airborne dust for minimal cleanup with the KD-1493 Fiber-Cement Shears. The handheld shear quickly cuts fiber-cement board, siding, backer, and cement board up to one-half-inch-thick using a center blade design to prevent the airborne dust that is typically produced with circular saws.
“The KD-1493 Fiber-Cement Shear gives contactors and installers a faster, cleaner alternative for cutting cement board and siding with virtually no airborne dust left behind,” said Kathy Conlon, president of Kett Tool Company.
The KD-1493 is an improvement over the traditional method of cutting cement board and siding with a circular saw, which generates airborne dust that not only leaves behind a mess, but can also be harmful if inhaled.
The KD-1493 features a powerful 5 amp pistol grip, 2500 RPM variable-speed electric motor that easily cuts through fiber-cement board, cement siding or backer board—all at speeds of up to 43 inches per minute. The tool is lightweight at four-and-a-half pounds, and has a cutting radius of ten inches for maximum maneuverability.
The rugged shear blades are precision made in the U.S. featuring A-2 tool steel blades for prolonged durability, and are quickly replaced to reduce downtime on the job.
The KD-1493 Fiber-Cement Shears are available through authorized dealers. For more information or to locate a dealer, visit www.kett-tool.com or call 513/271-0333.
