Re: Best hand tool to use to cut sheet metal (aluminum diamond plate)?

I would not try to use a handheld circular saw to cut metal.

A sawzall (reciprocating saw) will work if you guide it well. A sabre saw or jig saw will take a long time to cut it, but will work if you're patient.

Here is a pdf file with info on selecting blades, you'd probably want a 14 tooth, wide, short, metal cutting blade.
