  If you were going to cut a bunch of sheet aluminum, would you get a
  "nibbler",
  or a "shear" air tool?  I'm thinking the shear is the way to go, but any
  advice welcome.  Thanks!

 Jerry I have both and I use the shears the most. But like Neil said it is 
good for straight cuts or big curves. On a straight cut I clamp a straight 
edge on the metal and run the shears along it for a guide. The shears does 
roll the edge up a little but not bad. The nibblers cut out little half moon 
metal slivers that will stick in your shoes like a needle. Both have there 
place. Larry Mac
