    Good old tool I had almost forgotten, saved the day
    Many years ago we used a nibbler in high school, when they had shop classes. Cut holes, notches or whatever. Recently I had a project where I needed to cut a square hole in plastic. Dremel melted the plastic and those little blades shatter and went somewhere. Tried a hand saw but getting a straight line wasn’t happening. Then I think one of the prices of that Dremel disk must have hit me in the head and shook loose those ancient memories.This thing worked perfect, just nibble a little at a time, like it should. Well I’ve used it several times now and I’m very glad I got it.

    Cuts Clean and Straight Across 1/16″ Thick Aluminum
    This nibbler works great. I have a 3″ wide (76.2mm) strip of 1/16″ thick (1.6mm) aluminum that I needed to cut into 3″ x 1″ pieces. I started to use a Dremel tool with a cutting wheel, but I knew that would result in an ugly, not straight cut. I looked up how to cut metal sheets, and discovered “nibblers”: kinds that are electric, kinds that are pneumatic, and hand-operated kinds like this one. Although I was skeptical that this inexpensive hand-operated nibbler could do a good job, and I worried that my material was slightly thicker than the specifications suggested the nibbler could handle, I didn’t want to pay the higher price for an electric or pneumatic one. So, I took a chance on this one, and it was a good decision. I was able to cut very straight, clean cuts 3″ across the 1/16″ thick aluminum strip in less than 3 minutes per cut. I don’t even need to file or sand the edges. It’s a bit tedious because you only remove about 1/32″ (.8mm) of material with every squeeze of the handle, but for the price, this tool just can’t be beat. Bonus: it’s made in Taiwan, not China.

    Worked smoothly and with little effort(on guttering)Bought this to open up the down spout holes on aluminum gutters.

    Basic, but useful hand tool
    Everything that is expected for a hand nibbling tool. Works great on aluminum & steel providing attention is paid to thickness. I have not yet tried it on plastic or fiberglass. Since it operates by squeezing the handle together it does require some clearance on the handle side of the cutter. Where it is possible to work from either side of the workpiece this is not a problem. There is a wire spring clamp that holds the handles closed for storage, but since this is not attached to the tool, it is easy to loose.

    Good quality, cheep price.
    This works pretty well on a fairly heavy electrical box I bought on Amazon to cut some slots for cable entry, better than i expected.

    Worked just fine
    Worked just like I hoped it would. Trimmed some thin steel sheet metal without any trouble

    Excellent Product
    Looks like a good tool. However, I could use it in my application so it had to be returned.

    You have to cut a groove into the tool for the fret to fit, but once you get a good fit it works on frets. Don’t know how long it will last but so far so good.

    Ich knipse damit, an den Bundenden, Kerben in Edelstahl -Bunddraht; funktioniert super. Ich musste allerdings, vorher, einen kleinen Schlitz in die Kopfplatte feilen, damit es passt. Günstiger bekommt man keinen Fret-Tang-Nipper.

    Bought to mod GEM blades for another razor. Works a treat. Would be perfect for converting AC blades to injector size, too.

    Lo modifiqué para que corte el “tang” de los trastes y funciona muy bien.
