Powerful Motor and Innovative Engineering for Reliable Performance
Designed to cut fiber-cement siding up to 5/16-inch thick, this patented tool boasts a smart design and amazing durability. A robust 6.5-amp motor, 1/2-inch spindle gear, and 360-degree swivel head combine with comfortable ergonomics for optimum performance, even on all-day jobs.

Dust-Free Cutting for a Healthy, Worksite
Productivity doesn't just mean getting the job done fast, it also means keeping your workplace safe. All cement-fiber siding contains silica, which is harmless unless large quantities are inhaled as dust. Because the SS404 doesn't produce airborne dust like circular saws do, you'll completely avoid the serious health risks associated with silica.

Long-Lasting, Double-Ended Blades
The SS404 features reversible blades machined from solid steel that provide 20,000 feet of cutting. Because these blades are reversible, they'll last through 20 houses' worth of siding jobs--twice as long as single-ended blades and 45 times as long as circular-saw blades.

This compact tool is not only versatile, but it's also cost-effective, boasting an average blade cost of just three dollars per house.

User Comments about the PacTool International SS404 SteelHead Fiber Cement Cutting Shear

Speed wise, I could not ask for more. Used the shear on the house I am working on now and it is 10 times faster. Edges are not bad, and I discovered if you cut from the back side, the front finish looks almost as good as a saw cut. Decided to try a shear on my second house. The blade worked OK in the chop saw but it burned up fast when ripping boards. No teeth were left after less than a fourth of a house. I was able to rip a full length plank in less than 30 seconds with no dust. Cut is way better looking than score and snap.


Used a combination of score and snap along with a Diablo hardiplank blade for the first house and it was very labor intensive. Using it is a lot like using a saber saw. Even for part time builders, it is worth the money. You have to watch the line.


light weight, quiet, super easy to use,you can't beat this tool. ps,no dust.



exactly as advertised. 1/2" takes a little finesse, because no jobsite is perfect with a perfect work table, but if you're a contractor, that's not an issue. definitely recommended. cuts 1/4" with ease.



The only thing that might be improved on is the position of the cord on the handle. It makes the job of cutting Fiber Cement Board a breeze. Very Happy with this tool. I will never go back to using a saw blade for this job. It would help on certain cuts if the cord was attached at a slight angle or better yet have it be able to pivot. We have finished siding 1/2 of our house and so far these shears have performed perfectly.



It was quite and dust free. I used it to put hardi soffit on my house. I ordered this tool after reading the reviews here. The soffit had to have about 2" ripped off of each 8' piece. I only wish I would have bought this tool before we did the soffits on the garage. This tool cut the material like it was butter.
