## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic tool
*by P***N on September 29, 2024*

This is a plug-in Metal sheet. I have aviation snips, but I needed to cut a larger amount in a quicker time. This device does the job it makes a shallow cut and it rolls the metal up out of your way as it goes. Very efficient, and the price was great. Actual cutting head is adjustable so you can turn it and lock it down and hold the motor device at different angles it easier to use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Affordable and Effective Option
*by B***O on April 22, 2025*

Affordable option if you need to cut metal with a little precision than shears. It cut through 18 ga aluminum diamond plate quite easily. The tool feels substantial and well made. Handled my needs without breaking the bank.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ works great
*by A***T on November 10, 2024*
