Abstract:
Illustrative embodiments of sheet cutting shears are disclosed. A sheet cutting shears may include a tool body and a cutting head. The tool body may include a drive housing and a handle coupled to the drive housing. The handle may be inclined toward the cutting head so that at least a portion of the drive housing located between the handle and the cutting head is within a footprint of the handle when viewed from above. A handle axis and a housing axis may form an acute angle located at least in part between a front side of the handle and a top side of the drive housing. The sheet cutting sheers may further include a trigger configured to move between an off position and an on position, the trigger being spaced apart from the drive housing.

Abstract:
The housing assembly has a grip portion having a heightwise axis. The housing assembly includes a housing member having parallel upper and lower housing guide features spaced apart along the heightwise axis. The trigger member is mounted in the housing assembly to slide along a slide axis transverse to the heightwise axis. The trigger member includes parallel upper and lower trigger guide features spaced apart along the heightwise axis and mated with the upper and lower housing guide features. The upper and lower housing guide features and the upper and lower trigger guide features cooperate to limit the trigger member to a linear slide path relative to the housing assembly and inhibit cocking of the trigger member about a lateral axis transverse to each of the heightwise axis and the slide axis.
