I am thinking of buying one of the above for basic sheet metal work.

Is it worth getting one? Does anyone on here have on, if so are they handy to have?

Thanks-Kieran

With everything I do to cars and karts, I have only had to use an air chisel once....and it didn't even punch out the bolt I was trying to push through a rusty leaf spring bushing. A big effing hammer work faster.

Buy a good jigsaw or an air nibbler, much smoother and easier.

You must have used a POS air chisel then! A nice Chicago Pneumatic (several hundred dollar piece of equipment)would blow the bolt into the next county, and rattle your hand numb for a week if you slip off.

It was a Snap on.

How expensive of a snap on?

I was running it at 100Psi. Idk, those bolts didn't come out. I took a 8Lb sledge hammer and beat them out.
