        Jerry, I also have the little air reciprocating saw. It cuts fiberglass
and aluminum great. I take hack saw blades and break them off to get
three blades out of one. If you have to cut a tight radius you just
grind the back of the blade down to narrow it. If you want a straight
line you just clamp a straight edge on and the guide rides right along
it. One swipe with the burring knife and your good to go. I can do a
better and faster job with it than shears, but maybe it's just me.
Anyway harbor freight sells them for about $30 and I have had mine for
about five years.      Doug Odom in sunny big ditch
