We have metal shear hire available nationwide. Our electric metal shears are designed for fast and accurate sheet metal cutting through steel, stainless steel and aluminium. They are capable of cutting mild steel up to 1.6mm thick, stainless steel up to 1.2mm thick and aluminium up to 2.3mm thick. The slim and light-weight design of these metal cutting shears, along with their powerful cutting operation, allows very fast cutting at speeds of up to 6.3m per minute. Ensure that you wear appropriate safety equipment whilst using the shears and whilst handling sheet metal, such as safety goggles, safety gloves and ear defenders. We can supply Personal Protection packs which include safety goggles, safety gloves, a dust mask and ear plugs. You can add this to your order during checkout.
Please note: Our electric metal shears are 110v pieces of equipment. A transformer will be required to power them using a 240v domestic mains power supply. You can add a transformer and extension lead to your order during checkout.

After having hired these now a few times I am more than happy and would recommend it to everyone. I cut 1.3mm zintec with ease, neatly and quickly. Much quicker than snips with minimal distortion.

From 1st April 2022, our suppliers will only fuel machines with white diesel. This is due to new government guidelines.
If you, as the hirer, refuel any equipment while it is in your possession, it must be with WHITE DIESEL.
YOU MUST NOT USE RED DIESEL IN HIRED MACHINES OR EQUIPMENT.
If you return a machine refuelled with rebated diesel, suppliers will have to remove and dispose of the fuel. They must also flush the tank and supply lines before they can refuel them. The process is chargeable, with no exceptions.
An insurance charge will be calculated at checkout. If you have proof of your own Hired-In Plant Insurance (HIPI) and wish to opt-out of the insurance charge, you can do so by booking via Live Chat.
When an unexpected expense crops up and you need to get hold of different equipment, the costs involved can become a struggle. National Tool Hire don't think that anyone should have to wait when essential work and building improvements are needed, or when there's a passion project that needs indulgence.
To help our customers and make tool hire even easier, we've worked with PayPal to provide a way to spread the cost with PayPal Pay in 3. You can use Pay in 3 for eligible shopping cart amounts between £30.00 to £2,000.00. Terms apply.
The simple and efficient way of managing your tool and plant hire spend with discounted hire rates. No matter what the job, a trade account makes managing your cash flow a whole lot easier.
