What size stock you cutting and is it strait lines? For smaller stuff that gauge Ill flip it vertical up against a piece of wood and cut it on the bandsaw.
That Kett that AUKAI mentioned looks OK too but from what I can see, it does not have a rotatable head. I always keep the head on my Milwaukee rotated so the handle is upside down and the cord does not get in the way.

In my shop I try to have multiple ways to do most cuts, and then test and find the way that work best for the particular job at hand.
Much depends on the size and shape, as well as material.......
For this question, I would consider these and find what works best:
1) metal bandsaw (I'd buy a high-quality blade and ration its use for stainless only)
2) hand shear (like this)
I have two nibblers can cut 16g but that’s about the max and it’s pushing it. Bought second hand. You could buy a plasma cutter for the price of a nibbler new rated at thicker gauges.
