It took me too long to cut an 18 gram sheet of copper with hand scissors. I searched and found this little machine and am happy to say that the rest of my life will be spent doing more than just cutting copper! I don't know how I missed the newsletter to have one like this in your garage. I'll probably never use the rotate feature, but it's nice to know it's there. My only concern is that it will still want to chew when I release the trigger, albeit slowly, but that can be very dangerous if the jaws are still moving when you pull it down. :-/ I will write to the seller if there is a sequel.
