Gary,
I have an air powered hacksaw - cuts through sheet metal like a knife through
butter! I couldn't live without it. No need to waste money on special blades,
though. I just buy regular hacksaw blades and snap them in three pieces. They
fit in the blade holder perfectly, and save you a LOT of money. It cuts fast,
but blade life isn't very long. It'll cut up to 16 ga steel pretty easy, but
not good for much on metal thicker than 1/8 inch or so.
I cut an entire MGBGT in half not too long ago with it (it was beyond
salvage). Took about an hour or so, cutting crossways.
