and while it's nice...

Nibbler - create windows in metal without a jewelers saw this easy to use tool is a must have!
A Tip on using the Nibbler:
if you squeeze the handle and it doesn't release - it's NOT broken - just jammed. a metal shaving got trapped inside, so unscrew the screw at the top and remove the black plate with a screwdriver...tap the tool until the shaving falls out, replace and rescrew the top and continue.

cost: $18.00
