Beverly B1 — 14-gauge Throatless Shear, Made in USA

  • 14-gauge mild steel cutting capacity — handles most sheet-metal panel work.
  • 18-gauge stainless steel cutting capacity for trim and detail stainless.
  • 4-1/4" blade length — sized for the lighter gauges this unit is built for.
  • Made in USA from the original drawings, fixtures, and tooling — continuously produced since 1931.
  • Cast alloy-steel frame, heat-treated, with replaceable high-carbon/high-chrome tool-steel blades.
  • Throatless design — cuts curves of any radius, in any direction, without the workpiece running into a frame.
  • 12" height (less handle), 18 lbs — the lightest unit in the Beverly range; bench-mounts.
  • Lifetime workhorse — the Beverly design has been unchanged since 1947 and is still in production on the original tooling.

Beverly B1 Throatless Shear — 14-gauge mild steel, 4-1/4" blade, made in USA

The B1 is the entry to the Beverly range — 14-gauge mild steel capacity, 18-gauge stainless, 4-1/4" blade. The throatless design cuts in any direction and around any radius, which is the point: a panel can be turned freely under the blade without a fixed throat depth limiting where the cut can go.

This is the genuine Beverly, made by Mittler Bros. in Wright City, Missouri using the original drawings, fixtures, jigs, foundries, and material suppliers from the Chicago plant where Kurt Nebel first built these shears in 1931. The design has been essentially unchanged since 1947. CNC-machined to the original specifications, with cast alloy-steel frame, heat-treated, and replaceable high-carbon/high-chrome tool-steel blades. None of this is decorative — it is why a Beverly bought new today behaves the same as a Beverly bought in 1965, and why used B1s from the 1950s and 60s still show up working in restorer shops.

The B1 is the sheet-metal-work unit in the Beverly range. At 14-gauge mild and 18-gauge stainless, it covers the gauges most restoration and custom-fabrication work actually uses — body panels, brackets, patches, trim. At 18 lbs and 12" tall it's the most portable of the three, bench-mounts or sits on a workstand, and stays out of the way when it's not in use. If the work routinely involves 10-gauge or heavier, step up to the B2 or B3; for everything lighter, the B1 is the right call.

Replacement blades are available as a stocked SKU (3600-B1-100) — same high-carbon/high-chrome tool steel as the originals — so the shear is genuinely serviceable for the life of the frame. The full throatless-shear category is at Throatless Shears.
