To All,
I picked up a Throatless Shear a couple of weeks ago, this tool is amazing :mrgreen: . I used to use a handheld jigsaw with a 18TPI blade to cut thin sheet steel, what a pain in the a*s. And for heavier stuff like 0.187 and up I would use a sawzall, definitely an upper body workout. This shear cuts straight, circles and curves with ease up to 0.187. Give one a try someday, you to will put this tool on your must have list.
