    how to adjust snips

    Right. Will the offset pair be the ones that will be strong enough to cut through this sheet metal? there's various brands - any one in particular that is better? I posted a link to osh - can you look quickly and tell me which ones i should get? thanks.

    Been there, done that! Have a dremel - have a cutting disk for metal. Started using that and then I realized I just don't have the control I need to get the job done nice and fairly neat. For me at least, it was like trying to paint a portrait with a 3 inch brush lol which is why I opted for...
