Power tin cutting
Anna and I were both
intrigued with Bradley's Malco TSHD Turboshear today.
The cost is around 80 dollars
and it hooks up to any powered drill.
It's the easy way to cut
metal roofing panels without cramping your hand.

Hi Guys,
That's a pretty cool tool. What also works is a used saw blade turned backwards on your skil saw. Yes, I know it sounds dangerous, loud and unpleasant. Well it is loud and unpleasant. But it does work pretty well. And its free!
Thanks for the tip.
I can see how that would work, but setting the metal up so that it was enough above ground to avoid the blade cutting the dirt might be a hazard, although it would be better and a lot more accurate than hand tin snips.
