Turn the blade backwards, and go very slowly. The result would be
adequate, just adequate. Personally, I would use manual snips, but the
right snips. Those yellow handled Wiss snips aren't the only ones out
there. There are left cutting, right cutting, and offset snips. A pair
of right and left offsets would make the job considerably easier.

I've had some Wiss snips, and others, and quality/design counts.
The air snips sound good. Haven't cut much tin, but the problem is
always the curling metal. Just makes it all clumsy. For the non-pro
anyway.
I was thinking they might have a toothless circular blade now that
would avoid kickback, like the counter-rotating Dualsaw is supposed to
do, but maybe not. In the demo of that they cut metal.
BTW, I'm not recommending the Dualsaw.
After all, all I know about it comes from Billy Mays.
