A one piece three-sided hardened steel boot tip for a distal end upper jaw tang of a heavy duty demolition shear having a upper movable shear jaw with a shear tip or tang. The boot tip has a front wall seated on the tang front edge and a right sidewall. A bottom wall of the boot tip is seated on the tang bottom seat forming a shear punching edge between the front wall and the bottom wall. A sidewall is connected to the tang bottom and front walls with a shearing edge between the side and bottom walls. A side plate with an indexing hub is seated on the guide side tang face, the top seat and the rear seat.

Three-sided shimable indexable shear tip boot

A one piece four-sided hardened steel boot tip is mounted to a distal end upper jaw tang of a heavy duty demolition. The boot tip has a front wall seated on the tang front edge and a right side wall seated on the shear side tang face and radiused or curved rear seat. A top wall has a radiused inside top wall that sits on the radiused tang top seat. A bottom wall of the boot tip has a radiused inside top wall that is seated on the tang radiused bottom seat forming a shear punching edge between the front wall and the bottom wall. The boot tip has a shear side shearing edge that is between the sidewall and the bottom wall of the boot tip. An access or side plate is seated on the guide side tang face, a portion of the radiused boot bottom wall and the radiused rear seat. The side plate is flush with the bottom and front walls. The boot tip right side and access plate have matching apertures therethrough and alignable with the tang apertures to secure the boot and access plate to the tang for encapsulating protection thereof from the lower jaw shear side, the guide side and the tie plate as the upper jaw moves into and out of the recess therebetween. One or more shims may be provided that are insertable inside the boot against the tang faces and clampable thereto after the faces have become worn or otherwise requires adjustment for maximum clamping force.

Four-sided shimable indexable shear tip boot

A one piece four-sided hardened steel boot tip for a distal end upper jaw tang of a heavy duty demolition shear having a upper movable shear jaw with a shear tip or tang. The tang has a front edge, side faces with apertures therethrough, a top seat, a rear seat and a bottom seat. The boot tip has a front wall seated on the tang front edge and a right side wall seated on the shear side tang face, rear seat and the top seat. A bottom wall of the boot tip is seated on the tang bottom seat and rear seat forming a shear punching edge between the front wall and the bottom wall. An access plate is seated on the guide side tang face, the top seat and the rear seat. The boot tip right side and access plate have matching apertures therethrough and alignable with the tang apertures to secure the boot and access plate to the tang.
