I have a small area I want to cut out which is like two ply metal. Is a metal cutter best or jigsaw. I will have to buy whichever one, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks Mike

If its in an open area an mostly flat I'd use a jig saw with a metal blade. If its tight and uneven I'd use a 4-1/2" cut off wheel on a grinder. If you're cutting out an area and not starting on the edge you'll need the cut off wheel to cut through the metal so you can use the jig saw.
