I had to cut 25 pieces of silver egg crate for lighting in the office at work. I used a big wrench. You hit the egg crate were you want and it chips it away in just seconds. Sure beated doing it with a cutters. My hands were bloody the wire cutters way. The wrench was was a piece of cake.

a heat knife is sweet, but stinks & do it outside.
