Nibbler.........

[Goose]

Does anyone else own one of these nibblers?

I used this one on an auto body job last April, and I'm still picking "nibbles" out of the soles of the shoes I wear in my shop.

I have one. Bought it to cut steel roofing. Used to cut steel roofing. Tried it on one sheet. Has been sitting around here ever since....but don't ask me where!

 

[Jeff NWOH]

I've got one. Couldn't tell you the last time I used it.

I have one and use it on the occasional auto unibody part. Typically for intake mods or openings for intercooler piping. The little nibbles are persistent things like you say. You'll keep "finding" them long after the job is done. Usually with my fingertips when re-assembling the project the tool was used on.

I have one and it has its uses. Learned to cut over a bucket and always have the shop vac handy.

I have a hand operated one, it cuts rectangle pieces. I also have one that hooks to a drill motor. It can be clamped to a bench or hand held.

I fabricate sheet metal, mostly air handling ducts.

I thought they are Die Grinders ,You have straight and angle ones .Never heard it called nibbler. but yes i have one of each. Pretty handy little air tool actually.

Bought one a couple years ago to cut new windows in a semi sleeper. Worked great, but haven?t used it since. And yes there are still some of those bits floating around the shop.

I have one. Same brand as yours. It sometimes works o.k. Other times, you go along and suddenly the metal wants to roll down between the punch and the hole. You stop dead, mess up your cut, and almost lose your religion.

Dip the tip in diesel fuel between cuts. Lubricants and cleans the tip.

Different critter, ditchwitch. Body looks the same so easy to confuse.

I bought one from the BIG Dog drill bit guy at a car show. It is pretty much useless unless you can anchor it somehow. I had to buy a cheap H-F drill to run it. Works real gimmicky at the car show .

 

[ditchwitch]

Well dang new one on me .Ill look into those to see what they are used for . Thanks for the info Fawteen

I have one, bought for and used on steel soffet material to cut round holes for recessed lights. For an idea of what we were doing look up the next time you get gas at a covered station island.

Bought one to cut roofing metal- worked ok (faster than tin snips), but still not perfect. I now use a Harbor Freight 10 buck rotary grinder/ cutter with narrow blade, works great.

Bulldog snips are much faster than any nibbler.
