Cord Length- 72 inches.

Review: I wanted a smaller/lighter tool - I looked at shears at local stores and they were all big, heavy and expensive. I wanted a smaller/lighter weight version and found it with these Genesis shears. They work just fine for cutting metal roofing. I use them anytime I am cutting metal/tin for craft projects too. You can cut straight lines and around curves. I used them to cut out metal blades for wind spinners and found that I could cut straight lines quickly and then use my hand snips/shears to cut around tight curves. The price is very good for these compared to name brands and they work just as good.
Review: Cuts 20 gauge stainless steel with ease! - I was a bit skeptical when it said that it would cut up to 20 gauge of stainless steel. I thought it would get bogged down. I was pleasantly surprised. I cut about 15' of 20 gauge stainless steel with no problem at all. I also used it for cutting .100" thick diamond plate aluminum. That's almost 10 gauge! I cut the diamond plate from the back side which makes it easier...but it did struggle every so often as it would get hung up on the raised tread pattern.... I'm happy with that since they never claimed it would cut that thick to begin with. Overall great value for the money.

**Q: Does this machine use 220V? Thanks**
A: NO. Uses 120 volt only.

**Q: Will it cut dimensional asphalt roof shingles?**
A: Nope, you'll gum up the shears, and dull them out post haste.

**Q: Will tjis cut plastic?**
A: I haven't tried it. But I would think so if it is not real brittle.

**Q: i need to cut felt padding for carpets.  Will this do the job without fraying the cloth?**
A: Nope. These shears are primarily for sheet metal. They'll play hell trying to cut felt, and then the felt will look like hell...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It will save you time
*by D***L on July 19, 2021*

It works, does what it's supposed to do. But is very heavy and I am working on a ladder cutting the tin off the side of a trailer house. If I get it at the right angle I can fly right through the job. If I don't it's slow going. Don't get me wrong it's such a great machine.
