I never knew what tis tool was called but I really like it.  OTOH, I
just broke one trying to cut sheet that was too heavy.  Mine won't do
16 ga. but works really slick on light stuff.

I once brok a nibbler die, too, by cocking the tool wrong.  That leads
to the suggestion that if you have to work in an awkward and strenuous
position, the nibbler migt not be the way to go.  But downhand (as the
weldors say) where you can keep it correctly aligned, it's just lovely.
