Pro'sKit 900-215 Nibbler, Multi

I used to have a pair of hand nibblers just like these and lost them somewhere. They are great if you need to nibble or cut out a hole in thin metal to mount a switch or temperature controller. I used them recently to mount a rectangular shaped temperature controller in a small refrigerator i found and the original thermostat had gone bad in. Now it works great.

Product does an awesome job trimming exhaust and head gaskets from steel-reinforced gasket sheets. The material is regrettably impervious to my laser cutter, but I can stick a blank shipping label on the gasket sheet, and then cut the paper on the label with the laser, and peel the label away from everything but the finished gasket shape. This tool is excellent for those pesky inner radii/fillets, where I cannot quite reach with tin snips. I just get close to the line with the jilson shears, and then ON the line with these nibblers. I was skeptical about cutting curvatures with this, but it handles them very nicely, and turns out a very good OEM quality gasket. Just keep a large open box or cookie sheet at your feet to catch any metal shavings, and keep some fine needlenose pliers handy in case one of the shavings jams up the nibbler on the right side (opposite the "wedge" side that cuts the material. It happens every now and then, but just yank the piece out with the pliers and you are back in business.

These work ok. Do wish the had a rubber handle. After a while they will be hard to grip from perspiration.

Very handy tool for cutting out openings for equipment in a panel or box. I used it for hobby projects, for cutting rectangular openings for digital PID temp controllers and thermostats. Really a very handy tool. Used on tin metal project boxes. Have not tried it on thicker material. Allowed me to be more accurate than using a cutting wheel on a dremel. Occasionally gets jammed with the little metals 'shavings', so the nibbler doesn't spring back open but easy enough to clear with a screw driver. I could not find a source for replacement cutting edge, despite several attempts. Has worked fine now on a few uses.

Affordable and effective nibbler. I use it on aluminum it doesn’t even slow it down on 1/16” aluminum sheet.

now that the VA delivers hearing aid batteries in nearly adult proof containers, THIS IS THE PERFECT TOOL for nibbling through the welded plastic.

This nibbler works well on light gauge metals. It will easily cut aluminum up to 1/16" thick and probably a little more. But the jaws won't open far enough to cut much more (not to mention the fact that your hand would tire rapidly). I have cut 1/16" aluminum and, most recently, I used it to cut rectangular openings in 26ga steel siding. It worked well. The biggest problem is getting it back into position for the next cut. It's easier to do this in aluminum than it is in steel. It seems to work best to cut toward yourself. Keep it lubricated or it may jam.

This nibbler is a typical Chinese tool quality. Not bad for the price, but don’t use it too much.

The handles seem rather unergonomic, but that does help the tool head get into tight spaces. I've only used it on aluminium sheet around about 1/16" at the thickest and it cuts quite well. It does get tiring to use after a while, but it's useful for small cuts in odd shapes and is much less messy than my milling machine or a piercing saw. Great for making cutouts in electronics enclosures when things are already somewhat assembled. The large chips are easy to clean up compared to a lot of fine shavings that can get into where they shouldn't be. I've been meaning to buy one of these for about ten years and glad I finally did!

As sturdy, efficient and small as it is simply designed. Exactly as described and cut throught aluminum withoubending the remaining edges. I think this nibbler's conception is not as exhausting on the and as some said... My power supply was at least 40 chumps with the tool and my hand isn't painful and doesn't shake when cutting wires and soldering to finish the projet I recommand the tool for every DIYers whose are demanding and want efficient, precise as long lasting tools ***** to seller for rapid shipment and service

A bit flimsy, but does the job pretty well if you're careful.

This is an awesome tool. Its gets in tight spots.

Works very well for intended purpose, nibbling light metal. I used it to help customize the peak end of my metal roofing panels along with a small hand metal brake (bender) and this worked excellent. It nips a small square piece of metal from a flat surface so you could cut out a fairly precise quarter inch strip across a piece of light metal even turn a corner without bending the metal as hand shears sometimes do. It worked real well for me.
