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
