## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which is better? A shear or a nibbler? What will one do that the other can't? Kind of confused.**
A: A nibbler can go in smaller circles and do more intricate work.  A shear you will have a strip of sheet metal to deal with as you cut.  I think the nibbler is better on thinner metal and shear on thicker.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Is there a Hard case for storage this tool**
A: The one I bought through amazon did not come with a hard case

**Q: Will this tool easily follow a along the edge of a plywood pattern to make repetitious shapes or along a straightedge to make perfectly straight cuts?**
A: Yes, your pattern will need to be slightly smaller than you want as a finished product to compensate for the offset between the outer edge of the tool head and the cutter, AND you will need to maintain a constant relative angle.

**Q: has anyone ever cut 16 ga. steel with this? 18 ga.?**
A: I have cut 18ga. Very easy cuts. I feel it would handle 16 gage.
