Professional Opinion
Treat SNT-40 as an exact model name, not a 40-tooth category. Joewell currently specifies 12 teeth and a cut ratio of less than 5 percent; that figure remains model-specific and does not predict another shear or a client result.
Maintenance Tips
- Wipe blades after each client
- Oil the pivot after use
- Use a sharpener experienced with Japanese convex edges
