Pexto Shear #137L

[astroracer]

36" width/16ga. capacity.
I have an opportunity to buy this shear for $350.00. Is it worth that much? It is in very good condition and has been used very little. Let me know what you think.
Thanks

That is an incredible price if it is in good condition with a good backgauge that works. 36 in. is not as desirable as a 48in. but for that kind of money it is worth it.The set of knives probably cost more than $350 !!!!!

Make sure that if you buy it , you level it it and anchor it to the floor so it will last for 20 years or more without a lot of maintenance problems. They can really make things so much easier.

Thanks Jim,
I was expecting your answer but had to ask anyway. I will make this a done deal today. A guy I work with has it and just wants it out of the way... I don't really have the room for either but what's a guy to do?

The "new" shear was dropped off last night. All I can say is WOW!
I threw a piece of 20ga on it and was amazed at the ease of cut. I couldn't feel the cut start when I pumped the treadle and it was so smooth I couldn't believe it. The shear didn't even know the metal was there.
Anybody need anything cut?
