 works well October 10, 2007

I used this to cut some gutter covers (to keep leaves out) and it worked great. The only warning that I'll give you is that you will need a compressor that can put out about 6 SCFM of air at 90 PSI for it to work. I use mine with a cheapo compressor for car tires and I spend more time waiting for the tank to refill than cutting aluminum.
This is not a complaint about the product, though.
 Nice tool, but buy a couple spare parts too October 29, 2004

If you'll only cut thin aluminum or other thin soft metals, this tool should work very well for you. It makes a pretty clean cut, and cuts fast. Will scroll with some effort, but is best in a straight line. Works well to make a panel cutout as well as small shearing jobs.
But be warned: the punch that does the nibbling work is the weak link (probably designed that way, which is smart) so you'll want a couple spares. Its a $3.50 part.
I know this because I'm using the tool for stainless steel, and the punch lasted until I hit an uneven patch of metal, jammed the tool, and the punch snapped in half. Grizzly sent me a replacement punch for free... I also ordered 3 extras, since I can imagine this being a recurring scenario.
Bottom line: Seems to be a nice tool that does what it advertises, though I'm not sure how well it will stand up to long term abuse. At the least have a spare punch at all times, just as you would have a spare blade handy for any other cutting tool.
