Re: Best hand tool to use to cut sheet metal (aluminum diamond plate)?
Safest: Sawzall
Quickest: Plasma Cutter Unsafest: Circular Saw Most Impressive: Huge sheet metal shear Least Plausible: Willing the material into severance by directing your thoughts -q p.s. Reccomended: Sawzall or Plasma torch. |
