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.

SS404 fiber-cement shear, blades, and manual.

5 out of 5 stars Great tool for Hardi siding   August 31, 2010
Vao Matua (Oregon, USA)
These shears work very well. I don't understand the 'contractor' that didn't like them, maybe he didn't know that it is an electric tool and needs to be plugged in.
Cut the board upside down, hold the tool on the line, run at slow speed, and enjoy the results.

These Shears are AWESOME!! Well worth the money even for a one time siding project. As previously stated "cuts like butter".


1 out of 5 stars Very poor tool   July 7, 2010

I you don't mind very rough cuts, this is the tool for you; quick and quiet. If however, you or your customers (I'm a contractor) demand tight cuts and nice looking siding, stay away from this tool. VERY rough, nasty cuts.


5 out of 5 stars doing a Hardy-Plank siding job?   May 16, 2010
Samuel T. Nielsen (IA)
If you are going to any type of concrete siding, it is imperative that you buy this tool! You won't be disappointed when your face is free of dust and stinging flying particles off the blade of your circular saw. You can spend $75 on a hardie-plank blade and hate life; or you can spend a little more and be comfortably flying through your siding job.


4 out of 5 stars works like a champ   March 4, 2010

Bought this to cut hardibacker for a couple of shower installations. Cuts great with MUCH less mess. This is a must have in my tool shed.
