I've been looking for a smaller (36" or so) sheet metal stomp shear (foot operated) and box brake. At an upcoming auction near me is a 36" shear by Economy Tool and Gage, of Chicago. Unlike the standard cast iron shears like Pexto, etc, this one is constructed from heavy steel plate, in fact the manufacturer's tag reads "all steel". It looks well-built, despite the company name. The tag is hard to make put in photos, but the model seems to read 33-16-2 so I'm hoping it is rated for 16 gauge steel, a plus, as most small shears are 18 gauge or less.
Any information on this company? I can't turn up any references so far. I'd love to find a catalog page that listed the capacity of this shear.
