    What tool to cut corrugated Iron

    I have some corrugated iron to cut to length and am wondering which options people have used. It is not a big job so whatever I use may be used again but not much if it is only for the job at hand.

    I have been looking at nibblers, cutting discs on a 9" grinder, similar discs fitted to a skill saw, Metal cutting blade on the skill saw or power shears and have dismissed the jigsaw.

    I have never used a nibbler. they look easy but I figure if they were that good surely I would see more of them in use.
    I also looked at a dual saw but while they look like they are the tool for the job, are they gimmicky or even suitable?

    My grinding is not flash so if I am to use cutting discs I am leaning towards the skill saw option. But how much cut will I get with a disc? I have to cut about 16 sheets so if I will use a lot of discs would it be better to pay the extra and get a diamond blade instead?

    The power shears look like they would be the better idea, but they look like they are for flat metal rather than corrugated, and I would never be likely to use them again.

    The nibbler looks to be the easiest.

    Cheers
