We used to be able to get hand tools called 'tin snips'. We would cut corrugated iron with them, which is a lot thicker than the stuff they make nowadays. They have handles a bit like plier handles, only much bigger (usually hollow metal, and moulded, in one piece with the blade). A decent pair would cost a bit, but should be half the price of that gadget. And they last a long time, and don't use electricity! People these days seem to use noisy electrical gadgets, like grinders and things. I used to be able to use tin snips on corrugated iron as a kid, so you don't have to be that strong. As long as you don't have arthritis or anything.
