Great Addition to My Cutting Tools Arsenal!

These nibblers are a perfect solution for anyone who needs to cut curves, circles, or corners in sheet metal without leaving rough edges. They provide a smooth, precise cut that saves time and effort. Made from durable materials, they are perfect for industrial and scientific use. The only downside is that they are a bit noisy, but considering the benefits, I can overlook that. Highly recommended!

Pros
  • Can cut through materials up to 16-gauge thickness quickly and easily
Cons
  • Requires an external air supply, limiting portability and versatility in use

Works great but fairly short lifespan on 29 GA metal and fails on 26 GA.

We cut about 80 linear feet of 65 acre Quadraloc sheet metal before these parts are finished. We go through about 4 of these beats a year. Sometimes we need to cut 26 ga R plate metal and these bits are only enough for 20 linear feet of cutting at 26 ga. It seems like they're meant to be worn longer, but given that everything is made in China these days, it's no wonder they don't perform exceptionally well. I keep buying them because I don't know any better and they work fine for a while :)

Pros
  • Tools and Household Products
Cons
  • New competitors appeared
