Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Micro-Mark 83213 MINI METAL SHEAR / BRAKE

This tool is excellent for rectangular holes in metals and plastic as
long as the material is not too thick, the cut is very clean.

I had several sent to me from the US, because you can't find that type
of nibbling pliers here.

Rectangular punches may be another option if you need a large number
of holes the same size.
