The Magnum Shear is a brand name for a line of hand operated cutters manufactured by Bullet Tools in Hayden, Idaho, sold in the United States, Canada, England, Germany, Australia, and parts of Asia.

How it Works
The Magnum Shear is a hand-powered cutting machine that works by leverage and a guillotine-style blade action without using electricity. The machine does not create dust in the process, and is quiet compared to an electric powered miter saw.

The Magnum Shear can be used to cut laminate flooring, engineered wood flooring, fiber cement board siding, VCT, PVC tile, carpet tile, parquet, cork, leather, and other products.

Models
The Magnum Shear has had several editions since it came onto the market, including the X Series, and more recently, the L Series. The L Series Magnum Shears are sold in five cutting widths which have the capacity to cut products up to 9 inches, 13 inches, 20 inches, 26 inches, and 40 inches wide, respectively, and up to 1" thick. As of December 2008 Bullet Tools discontinued it's 9" cutter due to profitability in that size but added a new version called the MagShear Lite (MSL). The MSL was Bullet Tools response to the declining economy, listing at half the cost of similar cutters. Bullet Tools is currently in the process of updating it's entire line implementing an innovative "I" beam construction making the shears much lighter and stronger.
