Air sheet metal shears??

[OfnaJoe]

Was wanting a small brake and shear but came across a air sheet metal shear, will it make a good straight cut or will it curl up the metal too bad? or would a nibbler be better?
Thanks Joe

You can get a straighter cut from the air shears but they will curl the edge a bit, the nibbler produces a better edge but a bit tougher to hold a straight edge.

If it was me, i'd go for the nibbler. There could be a lot of times you could clamp a straight edge to your work to run against. Plus I think it would be better for light work, smaller stuff..

cool, thanks. I was mainly going to use it for plates for a winch to sat on for the bumper I'm going to make and for plates for the rock guards too!

Here nibbler, nibbler.......
