Established in 1940, the Kett Tool Company began as a manufacturer of specialty wood boring tools. After years of evolution and innovation Kett Tool now specializes in electric and pneumatic portable power saws, shears, and nibblers to work a huge range of industrial sheet goods and to accommodate a huge industrial market.

The durable KD-1493 by Kett, is a lightweight shear that is designed to make quick work of cement board up to 1/2" in thickness. The unit is sealed so no airborne dust can enter during use which allows for minimal clean up. The variable cutting speeds of up to 2500 RPM allows you to match the tools speed to your pace, while the reliable, long-lasting A-2 tool aluminum blades are designed to far outlast any other cutting blades on the market.
