Hi All

Harbor freight has the nibblers on sale for 29.99. The reason I am leaning toward them is that they cut up to 16 ga. and the shears cut only 18 ga.
The only place I have found 5 ft wide it comes in .050 which if I figure right comes out to 16.5 ish ga. I have seen alot of people using the shears. If anyone is using the nibblers let me know how you like them or any problems. I am going to buy them 3/21 I am ready to see the skin on my trailer. :twisted:
Thanks
John

I used the hacksaw blade on my jigsaw. Worked fine and I didn't need to buy a tool that I probably would never use again.

I used the nibblers but Joseph is right. I've not used them since.

Have you tried to see if someone rents either one?? If a regualr rental place does not then maybe someone in a body shop or the like would.
