Super Tool
I purchased this tool to assist me in building two 4'Wx2'Hx10'L Chicken runs/tractors. In order to accomplish this project I was required to cut 50+ feet of 1/2 inch hardware cloth. This tool cut it like a hot knife through butter. Of course I had to clean up the mess with a huge magnet. I would highly recommend this tool for hardware cloth, flashing, and any other project that needs a lot of cutting. It is quite, doesn't use a huge amount of air, and is light weight and easy to maneuver.

Works like a Champ!
I am installing a corrugated steel ceiling in my garage and needed a way to cut the material. I had heard people using a wide array of saws and even a plasma cutter. The saws would bend the material and the plasma cutter is not in the price range so the shears were the way to go. I love them, clean cuts, they don’t wander off of the line and even through the corrugated steel, minimal effort is needed. The only thing that I wish they could do is have the ability to rotate the handle 90 degrees left or right . This would prevent you from having to bend the material that you are cutting so that the air hose doesn't hit it and stop your forward progress. Outside of that, no problems or worries.

This tool is just what I expeced for the price. Does a good job with flat sheet metal. Has a little trouble with corrigated, such as metal roofing. Overall good tool.

Pistol Grip Air Shears
This is a well-made and extremely versatile tool. We've used it to cut a variety of metals and also a number of different plastic panels. The double-blade action cuts a strip of material, which must be considered in your measurements. It sounds a lot like a pneumatic impact wrench (without the hammer sound) or a pneumatic starter on a semi, so in close quarters hearing protection might be advisable. A right-angle or swiveling connector for the air hose can solve some of the clearance problems mentioned by earlier reviewers. Keep it well-oiled.

Air Shears
I like this tool. Heavy duty and well made. Capable of cutting everything advertised. If you don't need to cut tight curves, this is a great tool.
