Oooo! tasty :).

Never bought a HF shear blade, but will they fit on my Beverly Shear B2. Is it worth it? 14 bucks is mighty cheap for a shear blade. Still hopeful though :D

:Edit: are they heat treated?

meh, I had to weld the blades to the shear to get them to work last time. eventually in a fit of frustration at the constant chunks of cast iron breaking off of it, I just smashed the damn shear on the concrete. Got more satisfaction from that than I did feet of cuts.

Ironic, I don't believe they will fit. HF is a B-1 knock off if I remember right. I am sure someone will comment if they do fit. The blade length and length of cut seem about the same but I am not sure.

Dierick, I know my HF took a little bit of tweeking to work right. I have cut anywhere from 22 gauge to 14 gauge since working on it. Spent about an hour doing the tweeks.
