About this product
The Makita JS1601 is a 110V straight metal shear designed for site work where reduced-voltage equipment is required. It uses a tongue action blade capable of cutting mild steel up to 1.6mm thick and aluminium up to 2.5mm thick, running at 4,500 strokes per minute from a 380W motor.
The tool has a slim barrel design with an ergonomically tapered rear cover and ribbed housing for a secure grip, weighing 1.4kg for comfortable extended use. A double action switch adds safety, side blades are fixed securely for stability, and on-tool storage is provided for the hex wrench.
Built with double insulation, it is aimed at professional users needing clean, controlled cuts in sheet metal on construction and refurbishment sites.
