I got the swivel head sheet metal shear for a project. You have to loosen the allen wrench screw to turn the head, but that's OK. Like you say, it gets "a" job done. Well worth the money.

Subject: Sunday 8th broken car (LONG) Date: Monday, October 08, 2007 10:42 PM This afternoon, Sunday, was General Conference. I went to the noon broadcast. At 2 PM the broadcast let out, and I went out to the truck. Called my parents, and see what they are doing. We decided to go to dinner after the 6 pm broadcast, so we would have plenty of time to sit and eat. I felt a very gentle prompting to go to the Scott and Judy's house. I drove...

Ask any group of women and they will say more space is always
better. If you don't need to room for something else, I would not
take them out.
If you ever go to sell the house, you will find out that it is
usually the wife who makes the final decision on a new home and the
kitchen is a large part of what they consider when making a choice.
