I have the Aldi one and it's grand. They're on the delicate side so as long as you're not too rough with them...

Bought an aldi one with a view to using it to cut gaps in copper pipe for a manifold. Gave up using it after 10 cuts as it was very quick to wear down the blade,  it was very bad in terms of feedback as it felt like your riding on cobbles.  Also it generated a real fine dust that was brutal on the eyes and nose.  I also found it really slow.  I switched to using a hacksaw and file and was finished the six pipes in the design on the same time it took me to do the 1/2 one Idid with the tool. On the plus side it does a neat job that you don't need to file down.

would it cut into a keg

I'd say you'd chew blades up cutting a keg, it would be perfect for finishing rough edges after cutting with a small angle grinder!

No - it wouldnt go near cutting a keg.

A dremal or other rotory tool will cut though a keg and ya you will use alot of blades but the blades are ment to ware down that's why they give you loads. Having said that an angle grinder is going to do the job faster and easier.
