Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

Cuts well. You have to get used to this device. He does not cut, he cuts in the form of a month. Of course, the first time I cut crookedly, the second sheet was much smoother. This is a different level of cutting and quality of work performed. Taken for personal use.

The best sheet metal cutting tool you can buy

I bought a Makita JN1601 punching machine to build a steel paneled shed. This tool excels when cutting rebar. What would take minutes with metal snips or metal snips takes about 20 seconds to cut metal with this knife. That's very impressive. Additionally, it fires crescent-shaped tines away from the operator (down) rather than up toward the operator like some others. The main concern for any rodent is that rodents will bite the soles of your shoes if you walk on them, and you can track them…

Pros
  • Wrench (781028-4), Hex Wrench (783208-8), JN3201, JN3200
Cons
  • Available in white only

Very powerful, easily cuts curves/circles

Very powerful, easily cuts curves/circles. Great quality product, hard wearing, the trigger can be a bit tricky to use at first, it clicks into place instead of just twitching or squeezing. By far the easiest metal tool for cutting curves. The only downside is that these little nail/toenail bits get stuck everywhere, they can be very sharp and will stick to anything, we recommend getting a magnetic pickup tool or having a shop vacuum handy. Fits into tight spaces more easily than other metal…

Pros
  • Latching slide switch for continuous operation
Cons
  • No instructions

Mandatory (((dot)))

Holy cow. I slapped my forehead. Years ago I built two steel buildings, one of which is mine (2000 SF), and then helped a friend build it (3500 SF). For these two buildings we fought with the scissors, bled and cursed quite a lot - there were blisters, torn edges. many "close enough" abbreviations. This summer another friend of mine also decided to build a shop and I can't say no to a good project. BUT despite the ups and downs of the economy, I was wealthy enough to buy one for this project…

Pros
  • Built-in thickness gauge for convenience
Cons
  • Not sure
