Situation:
No outdoor electricity.
Cutting front, and maybe rear fenders.
Re-installing factory flares or going flareless.
Reason:
Rubbing
Question:
Would a good pair of snips be good enough to do the trim?
Or would a better solution be a cordless "Dremel" tool? I've never owned one, but they seem to have tons of uses. I found some good prices on cordless ones, but by design and by the standard attachments they don't seem to be for cutting metal (mostly grinding, sanding, drilling plastic and wood).
If that might work, would a person familiar with it tell me what blade/attachment they might use? (I'm guessing I'll need a few of them or one that does not come with the standard attachment kit, that's why I ask.)
Any other cordless soultion? I can't see springing for a cordless sawsall or some other high dollar tool.
I can just wait a few more weeks and folks from the local Jeep club have offered to host/help/provide tools (after Easter). But, I'm off all Easter weekend with NOTHING to do. And I'd really like to go slow with this, take my time, and make it look just so and get it done ASAP.
(and as everyone knows, I'm not scared to ask dumb questions)
FWIW, I've read about 20 fender cutting writeups. But they all involve electric or air tools. I've hit my dumb question limit for the month of March. Thanks in advance.
