5 out of 5 stars Need advice...   August 10, 2006

I was considering purchasing a nibbler but found out they are $300-500. I did not want to spend that much. This shear is in my price range. All I'm basically trying to do is cut a 3"x6" rectangle on an exisiting sheetmetal door. Does this sound like an easy job for the Milwaukee 6850 18 Gauge Shear?

I already assumed I'll probably have to drill a 1" pilot hole.

Any recommendations or advice would be helpful.

Thanks,

We use several of these in an industrial manufacturing plant. They are tough, and do the job, year after year. Hey Vicky, to swivel the head, you simply loosen ONE bolt, swivel or rotate the shear head to the desired position, and retighten.

There are three bolts on the shear head. The bolt to loosen is the one that is closest to where the silver colored shear head attaches to the gray body. The wrench should be in the box. Enjoy!

I picked up this tool when I decided it was time to add some metal roofing to my home. It was an obvious choice for the job, and Milwaukee is one of my key brands. This little wonder will mow through sheet metal like nobody's business. It made short work of custom cutting edge trim and holes for vent piping. I'd still be working on that roof job if I was using hand snips. Milwaukee designed this tool right by building it on a drill body. The ergonomics are great. The head can be made to swivel to any desired position by loosening the set screw on the side of the head with the hex key that comes with the tool. Way to go Milwaukee !!

Sometimes that refers to the ease of cutting a circle. I think this version can cut down to a 7" circle without curling up edges. I may be wrong, but that is what I was told years ago.
