This is a heavy-duty 8-7/8-inch shear from Klein Tools, a brand known for lineman's pliers and electrician hand tools. It is a drop-forged, heat-treated steel shear with chrome-over-nickel plating, curved handles and blunt tips. It is built for cutting carpet, vinyl, roofing and heavy sheet goods, not hair, despite how some listings file it. Against typical hardware-store shears it is heavier and stiffer, with a longer lever arm for thick material.

Owners treat these as a workhorse shear for carpet, roofing and heavy material. They praise the sharp out-of-box edge and the sturdy forged build. Complaints center on weight and on the blunt tips limiting fine work.
