Not what I was hoping for, but useful in some cases.

Not as comfortable as it could be. This is good for cutting around the perimeter but if you're trying to cut a piece with both parts in two cutting in half, one of them will be damaged by the cutting process.

Pros
  • Small handle (only 2-1/4") for extra comfort
Cons
  • thin

Where have you been all my life.

first class. Easy to use and makes straight cuts. I used it on an aluminum diamond plate and was very happy with the results. Okay, let's be honest, I'm no hammer, but compared to a rodent, this is a great machine.

Pros
  • Integrated thickness gauge for added convenience.
Cons
  • socket required.

Ideal for bus construction

I do a lot of sheet metal work, custom bodywork, sheet metal repairs, etc. I bought this tool to cut complex curves faster and easier. It turned out to be a great tool. It cuts metal nice and clean and I can easily cut curves with very small radii. Definitely a good buy.

Pros
  • Lockout switch for continuous duty
Cons
  • Large and bulky
