We had an electric nibbler at the PR&E lab when I worked there. Fairly expensive, fairly high-quality. It was fast, but difficult to control with any sort of precision.

I have the HF electric shears, and I think they're pretty good.
The replacement blades are fairly expensive, so don't cut any thicker material than they're rated for because they will break.

I have killed 2 of the mini sawzall's that HF sells. This one specifically. They work amazingly, I am pretty sure I just over do it and kill the motors. Will be picking up another one in a few days, might buy the warranty this time on it.

These HF power tools have their place and it's certainly not in an industrial shop.

That HF sawzall lasted a long time- there were two house renovations in it's life span among many other projects. It was replaced by dewalt only because home depot was open and close by when the HF failed. Over all I've had great service from HF tools. Even the cheap $20 impact guns last me. I think I've had two in 20 yrs. I probably still have 90% of the HF tools I've purchased still in service.
