Nothing like good tools for sure!
I'm not a huge fan of my sawzalls. I have a nice Milwaukie corded, and a Porter Cable 18v. battery drive. I hate using either to cut anything that isn't well secured, as they make the material jump around with the reciprocating motion. They work great on heavy brackets, but when working on thin sheetmetal I find it's easier to run the cuts up close to the end, but not go through, as that holds the piece in place until I make all the cuts and then finish each off.
Whenever possible I use my Milwaukie portaband for cutting, as it's so much faster and smoother for everything from thin to thick material. I don't have a floor model bandsaw, but I sure would like to have one for fab work where I could clamp it and just come back when it's done cutting. I've seen some at good prices, but I keep wondering where I'd put it with space being such a premium at my house.
