Recommended it over using metal scissors. This is so much faster and safer than my old Shear. My only regret is I didn't buy it sooner. Hope to get a lot of use out of it. It cuts stainless steel like butter.

Chicago Pneumatic CP861 Final Thoughts
"Great value."
Built for professionals and hobbyists. Makes short work of sheet metal. Awesome little piece of equipment! Perfect for cutting shapes and circles. I was extremely pleased with it.
