Cutting sheetmetal, whats the easiest way? Options

[Verruckt]

I don't really want to invest in a sawzall right now. I have an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel, but it's going VERY slow and making a hell of a racket and mess...

What about a pneumatic nibbler? Or I have also seen what looks like an air die grinder with a small cutoff wheel and a guard on it, are those worth a crap? Trying to get out my floopans, and will have some other misc. sheetmetal parts later on to get off.

Anyone have some experience before I waste some more money trying everything under the sun?

Got the chisel. I am "well versed" in it's use. In my previous career I was a toolmaker. We used to rebuild shotgun shell drums for Remington. Had to install some flared stainless inserts in these drums. Made a special adapter for it that would press in these inserts. Was the worst thing I ever had to do. My wrists would be sore as hell after a week of all that... Sorry, having bad flashbacks. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

Think I will just break down and buy a bunch of stuff. Can't have enough eh? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
