When you need controlled sheet-metal cutting without switching to a large bench shear, the Cleco 14CFS93-98 pneumatic scissor shear provides a compact air-powered option for trimming, cutting, and fitting thin-gauge material in general industry applications. This 14CF Series tool uses a Scissor Shear cutting head to handle 18-gauge steel and 1/16" other material, giving maintenance teams, fabricators, and shop technicians a practical tool for light metal cutting tasks where hand snips are too slow or inconsistent.
Built with an aluminum housing, the 14CFS93-98 keeps tool weight to 2.4 lb | 1.09 kg, helping reduce handling fatigue during layout cuts, panel work, and repeated trimming. Its 9.8 in | 249 mm overall length keeps the tool manageable on the bench or in the field, while the 1/4 in air inlet connects to standard pneumatic supply setups when used with the manufacturer-recommended hose size and operating pressure.

Made in USA: 
Applications:
- Sheet-metal fabrication: Cutting and trimming 18 gauge steel panels, covers, brackets, and light formed components.
- Industrial maintenance and MRO: Making field cuts on replacement panels, guards, light covers, and repair material during equipment service.
- Automotive and fleet shops: Trimming thin metal panels, patch material, and body-related sheet stock where a compact air shear is preferred over hand snips.
- General shop work: Handling light-gauge metal cutting tasks in fabrication benches, repair stations, and plant tool cribs.
- DIY garage and workshop use: Cutting thin sheet material when the user has a properly sized air compressor, hose, and PPE for pneumatic metal cutting.
FAQs:
- Q: What material thickness can the Cleco 14CFS93-98 cut?
A: The manufacturer lists the capacity as 18 gauge steel and 1/16" other material. Because “other material” is not further defined in the catalog, confirm compatibility before cutting stainless, hardened material, plastics, composites, or specialty alloys. - Q: What is the difference between the 14CFS93-98 and 14CFS93-99?
A: The 14CFS93-98 is the scissor shear version with a 9.8 in length and 2.4 lb weight. The 14CFS93-99 is listed as a standard shear and is shorter and lighter at 8.0 in and 2.2 lb. - Q: What air setup does this pneumatic scissor shear require?
A: Cleco rates the tool performance at 90 PSI and specifies a 5/16 in minimum hose I.D. with a 1/4 in air inlet. Air consumption was not provided in the catalog, so compressor sizing should be confirmed before production use. - Q: Does this tool include the cutting head and blades?
A: Yes. The manufacturer lists standard equipment as the shear attachment and cutter blades. - Q: Is this tool appropriate for heavy plate cutting?
A: No. The listed capacity is 18 gauge steel and 1/16" other material, so it should be used for light-gauge cutting tasks within those limits.
