I need to cut 2 rectangular openings in an existing HVAC supply and return
ducts.

How can I do this?

I've tried using a power jigsaw with a metal cutting blade -- big mess.

I see things like power shears when I do Google searches, but that seems
like a whole lot of money to spend to just cut the 2 openings.

Are there any hand tools or cutting chisels that will work for this?

Any other suggestions?



sure, just get some GOOD tinsnips. then you just need to make a hole
big enough to get the snips in and it will cut surprisingly easily.
