Bought as a Christmas gift for my husband. He can cut sheet metal in a fraction of the time as before and get his jobs done faster with less hand fatigue. Very powerful precise tool, too big to fit into tight places for a cut, but perfect for his line of work. My husband is happy with it, so I’m happy with it.
