 Comment on this model.
This is a model of a LaBounty MSR 4500R Scrap Shear and
in this configuration it is a third member tool
attached to excavators in the 50-70 tonne weight range.
The weight of the shears is 9.5 tonnes. LaBounty
is part of
Stanley Hydraulic Tools.
Industrial Scale Models are sold via
DHS Diecast.
Packaging
This model box is simple with the shear wrapped in soft
paper.
There were no defects or missing items on the review
part.
There is no information about the real tool, and no
instructions. However fitting the part to a WSI Hitachi
ZX870 Excavator is very simple.
Detail
and Features
The scrap shears is a well made metal part with good casting
detail which includes bolt heads along the cutting
edges. Silver paint has been used to highlight
some edges. The attachment bolts are brass and they
work fine but would have looked better in black. The
visual impression of the shears is enhanced by the addition of a
number of small graphics.
Attaching the part to a WSI Hitachi ZX870 requires the
use of the supplied brass bolts as the black WSI bolts
are too large.
The shears rotate and the jaws can be fully opened
and closed.
Quality
and Price
This is a well made part with good paint and graphics.
It is a little expensive probably reflecting the low number of parts likely to be made, but
it is a way
to add a tool to an excavator model in bucket
configuration.
Overall
This part from ISM provides a nice option to owners of
suitable excavators.
If you can afford the price it is easy to recommend.
Footnotes
The part was also made in red and yellow. It
is listed as fitting Caterpillar 365, Liebherr 984, and
Volvo EC700 excavator models. |
