Cutting tools

[Welder1997]

Hi everyone, I recently just purchased a load of Milwaukee gear to help make my life easier at work as I do a lot of workshop and site based work and we literally do everything ranging from structural steel, general fabrications in all thickness and materia, pipework and every now and again the odd bit of sheet work but not much. Ive ordered the Milwaukee 9inch grinder as i know its a must have is a big grinder and the 66mm circular saw for straight cutting plate but im wondering with me having those 2 if its worth me getting the portable deep cut bandsaw im also going to be ordering the sawzall for site so wondering if its worth it especially when we have a big bandsaw in the workshop and has anyone use the milwaukee shears as i dont do too much sheet im thinking its probably not worth getting unless your doing sheet day in and day out or is it a must have for doing sheet full stop?

Iknow a lad who doesn't rate the shears that was cutting sheet metal building flashings etc with them. Sawzall is a great thing. Eats blades though.
