Shear tools are described that are driven by a power assembly. In one version, the shear tools include a pivotally movable pair of lever arms. Upon activation of the power tool, the lever arms of the shear tool are pivotally displaced and urge a die along a shearing plane relative to another stationary die retained by the shear tool. In another version, the shear tools include a carriage and link assembly. Upon engagement and activation with a power assembly or power tool, a movable die is urged past a stationary die. Also described are systems and related methods utilizing the shear tools which enable convenient shearing or severing of workpieces such as strut channel.

A rechargeable shear (1) includes: a motor (5) having a rotor (21) that is rotatable relative to a stator (20); a motor housing (4), which houses the motor (5); a grip housing (8) connected to the motor housing (4); a battery-holding housing (9) connected to the grip housing (8); and a shear part (3) disposed forward of the rotor 21 and operably driven by the rotor (21). The motor (5) may be brushless. The shear part (3) may be rotatable relative to the motor housing (4) using a manipulatable ring (85) and a detent system (89, 92-94). A light (48) for illuminating the shear part (3) and a workpiece being cut thereby may be provided on the grip housing (8) or the battery-holding housing (9).

A motor-operated shears which includes two blades that can move towards each other to perform a shearing movement is provided. In order to advantageously improve functional safety, towards the end of the movement, the blades are acted upon in a direction running transversely to the movement so as to keep the blades at a distance from one another in said direction.

A cutting head for a power tool. The cutting head includes a first jaw having a first blade mounting surface and a second jaw having a second blade mounting surface. The second jaw is rotatably coupled to the first jaw. The cutting head also includes a first blade removably coupled to the first blade mounting surface of the first jaw and a second blade removably coupled to the second blade mounting surface of the second jaw. A first cutting edge of the first blade is substantially co-planar with a second cutting edge of the second blade. During a cutting action, the first jaw and the second jaw rotate with respect to one another to bring the first cutting edge closer to the second cutting edge.
