I use 3 different size shears.. Biggest Cut up to 14 ga. Fits 8" wide sheet.

Also have a electric nibbler for smaller cuts.

Tinsnips work as well as a die grinder for fitting!

I have an air nibbler, air shear, hobart plasma cutter and a crapload of cutoff wheels. I like the plasma cutter best with the air shears coming in a close second. The nibbler is a bitch because the little nibs it cuts out get in your shoes and stuff and cut the hell out of you.
