Car Forum / Pontiac / Pontiac Firebird / February 2005Rusty floors redux
There's a tool sale going on & in air tools I can get a cut-off tool for $25 Cad, a metal shear for $50 or a nibbler for $50. I know you suggested a reciprocating saw might be the best tool, but I'm leaning towards the nibbler since it cuts a piece of metal out, & it would be good for cutting the patch. What do you guys think? >There's a tool sale going on & in air tools I can get a cut-off tool >for $25 Cad, a metal shear for $50 or a nibbler for $50.

What do you guys think? What kind of nibbler are you looking at? Check the ones in the links below. IMO powered tools are always the way to go if you can afford them and they will be used more than one time. http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=1450&itemType=P RODUCT&iMainCat=489&iSubCat=491&iProductID=1450 http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=1434&itemType=P RODUCT&iMainCat=489&iSubCat=491&iProductID=1434 http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=10427&itemType= PRODUCT&iMainCat=489&iSubCat=491&iProductID=10427 ...Ron -- 68' Camaro RS 88' Firebird Formula 00' Mustang GT Vert >>There's a tool sale going on & in air tools I can get a cut-off tool >>for $25 Cad, a metal shear for $50 or a nibbler for $50.

I'm not sure how many times I'd use it other than to cut out the floor & trim the patch, but I figure my TA's worth the $50. Do you think the air nibbler is the way to go, rather than the saw or shears? I can get an 18 volt reciprocating saw for about the same price. Chris >The nibbler is air powered.

A sawzall being what it is should be the choice for the versitality alone. Just think, when you have to replace the exhaust (and you will eventually) how happy you'll be knowing that you already have the tool that will help you do the job in good time. ...Ron -- 68' Camaro RS 88' Firebird Formula 00' Mustang GT Vert >>The nibbler is air powered.

Not to mention a hundred other jobs around the house. Hell, I use mine to prune palm trees... -- lab~rat >:-) The less you care, the more it doesn't matter. |
