This review is just copy and past from various websites, Its obviously not a real test of the shear as it will not cut 18g let alone 16g steel sheet. I quick view of Northen Tools website will confirm this. If you are going to review a tool at least test it first !
Well said
This is not a Review of the foot shear. Our Reviews will actually say “Review” in the title, and will most likely have ratings at the top of the article. This was merely a mention of a press release for a new-ish tool. Nowhere in the article did we talk about using it or the performance we encountered.

This article is nearly three years old. I’m sorry you didn’t find what you were looking for, but “demanding” we only ever post hands-on reviews and not let people know about new and interesting tools seems limiting. No other review magazine or website does that.

Apologies, Phil—didn’t mean to put words in your mouth. We try to provide as many unbiased reviews as possible. we try to limit bias by providing objective data wherever possible. That easier for some tools than others—and we strive to improve our methods and processes each year. As for user reviews—they’re always welcome. Just realize that in-between those reviews and shootouts we publish tool previews and editorials.
