I use the heck out of this thing. This is a very high quality tool. Cuts 18 gauge stainless like cake. The WEN 3650 is very well made and powerful. It's WEN what else needs to be said.

It's true that the Rich Power Industries GES40 Shear B01LZ7HCRC was the Electric Shears that we rated most highly. Nevertheless, there were a few other truly premium Electric Shears we wanted to showcase here that just barely fell short.

Next on our list is made by WEN known to be a very credible tool brand. WEN's Shears are among their top tools. I was excited to try the model 3650 and I was not disappointed!

This Shear is just $45.94. That is a terrific deal for a high quality Shear like the 3650 by WEN. If you unsure about our top choice, I'd check out the WEN 3650 next. It's a premium quality tool at a good price.
