Hi Guys,

That's a pretty cool tool. What also works is a used saw blade turned backwards on your skil saw. Yes, I know it sounds dangerous, loud and unpleasant. Well it is loud and unpleasant. But it does work pretty well. And its free!

Arthur --- I'm pretty sure when we've cut tin, we've used a jigsaw with a metal blade or perhaps a reciprocating saw with the blade turned the way you mention. It was pretty awful, but I definitely wouldn't buy a metal-cutting tool for the small amount of metal we cut. Good thing Bradley has more use for his.

Thanks for the tip.

I can see how that would work, but setting the metal up so that it was enough above ground to avoid the blade cutting the dirt might be a hazard, although it would be better and a lot more accurate than hand tin snips.

Power shear's definitely worth it if your looking to get anything done with those panels. I've seen some attachments to drills for them but not this one, looks really good.

Marco --- Bradley bought this tool from the company that makes the metal roofing and said he hadn't seen it anywhere else.
