Snapper Shears cut as fast as a saw, but without all the dust. This is the most economical way to cut fiber-cement siding, e.g., initial blade set will last for up to 20 average size homes. When compared to a fiber cement saw blade costing approx. $30 and will only last for one home; you will be able to save approx. $600. The Snapper Shear pays for itself!


The Snapper Shear Model SS404 is the most popular for making clean dust-free staight cuts and gentle arcs.
