Don't know-won't cut carpet,de-bone a chicken,rope,etc,etc-it seems to be a POS.but then again,its got to be useful for something.....

I don't know first-hand, but my guess is that it will cut 22 ga. aluminum or tin. Steel may be a bit tougher, but stainless steel will probably be next to impossible. These shears are not up to Fiskar standards.

YES. These are very good scissors for cutting thinner gauges of sheet metal. Many well-known jewelry artists use them to cut metal, up to about 21-22 gauge, so 24 gauge is thinner and will work fine. I work for Wubbers, and we make high-end jewelry pliers. We have an online tutorial site...Wubbers University...and several of our tutorials list these in the tool list. For the people that answered that they wouldn't do it...I have used them, and they work great.In fact, there are some techniques in metal...for example, Marne Ryan's Organic Metal techniques...where it is easier to cut the metal with these shears than it is with a jeweler's saw.

20 ga will be tough. I use it for 24 ga regularly. Be prepared to replace the cutting bits fairly often if you're cutting 20 ga metal.

I doubt if it would cut metal as it doesn't sheer it just chops. You would need a metal sheer for that.

No, this machine is designed to cut wood, not metal. The speed of the saw would be too fast to cut mild steel. Using this machine to cut metal will void any manufacturer warranty.

Most of my cuts are on aluminum sheet or 1/8" aluminum extrusion - some galv sheet 16 to 20 gauge. I haven't stumbled onto the right blade yet for anything I cut. The first few cuts on alum or galv sheet steel are great (3 or 4 8' cuts). After that the blade burrs the edge a bit, enough that it must be cleaned up. I have cut stainless 16 gauge and ruined a blade almost immediately. These were all blades designed for what I was cutting. Hoping to find something better that leaves a clean cut and lasts a while.

It will work on thin metal as in jewelry making. Not sure the thickness of the metal blanks you want to drill. DBAR Supply

Yes. Unless it's aluminum foil, I'd recommend a Dremel tool. If you're trying to score a piece of aluminum, this would work (briefly) but you'd be better off with a utility knife/box cutter.

Oh yeah. Can't say as I have done this, but it is plenty strong. I've cut steel with this, it should do it with the appropriate blade.

Perhaps not since it takes strength to cut through steel. It depends what you are cutting, too. This is a wonderful tool since it will cut through steel that is half inch in width.

It will cut trim. I have just used it for cutting metal. Use for short time jobs. Charge will not last long enough to complete many cuts.

I use mine in a standard 14" chop saw that runs at 3800rpm. The blade is rated at 2000rpm, but I wanted something that would cut thick aluminum. It really works well on the aluminum. I'm able to clamp the work tightly in the chop saw vise, and slowly push the saw through the work. It goes through nearly effortlessly, and makes a nice smooth cut. I have not tried it on steel, since it is running over speed, and I want to keep the blade in good shape.

Yes, without any trouble. I use it to cut through rose quartz. I wouldn't want to cut up sheet metal with it, but for nails or small bits it should be fine.

Sorry, i have no idea! But i would guess this is not the tool for sheet metal unless you got a special blade for thin metal stock.

Yes, but only very thin such as sheet metal for duct work etc. This might not be fair as I do not have a fine tooth blade for metal but the one that came with it did work altho I would not recommend it for that. Note: if you need replacement blades be sure to get right ones...few fit it. Jack

I don't think it would cut very well. It has a magnetic strip on the inside that is glued on so you would have to cut through that. The other material is a very hard plastic that might splinter

I tried to cut .25 inch angle iron and it won't cut the side laying flat so I wouldn't think it would cut plate steel laying flat the blade can't do it.
