I've had a Harbor freight one for about 10 years that has had a lot of use around the home workshop. I'd get another in a heatbeat.
It's good to lead - it's better to lead by example.

What should I look for? Attachment on a drill? I have both and both for battery drills. One less cord to drag up a ladder or on a rooftop. Or fuggin hoses. Work great on 28/29 gauge rib metal siding and roofing. Real nice to have a spare battery drill dedicated just to for your shears. That’s what I do. Often there is no elect on field projects too. Not a big amp draw either, will usually outlast a couple of mouth breathers on a metal job before a battery swap. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/D0rk2Hn7/485-F1-C1-C-DEAC-44-F2-A2-EF-2-CAB5-FF509-E1.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/h4TqbzxN/5-DFE8822-84-A0-415-B-9448-81-FE381-B3327.jpg)

I personally don't like "multipurpose" doo-dads. They have a tendency to fail when the going gets tough. Just my opinion.

I for sure could not take hot humid weather like you guys have . My parents lived in New Port Richey for 35 years and the only time to go there was middle of winter.

I thought this was one of them nibblers???? I believe you are correct Hanco. The shears are for light gauge, they require bending one side of the cut up to allow the shear to go forward. The nibbler punches out a line of square or rectangular "bites" and can cut heavy gauge metal and turn corners easily.

A nibbler literally nibbles the metal out in its path.
The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.
