Hay Robert----Nibblers for Metal

Hay Robert , I finally bought one of them nibblers in the fall...man, these are best thing since sliced bread. The one I got is made by Makita, and it's the cat's meow, I looked at the Fein and Milwalkee models, to expensive at around 6 to 700.00. I got the Makita for 400.00. It works great. When I got it out on a job we were doing the lads were sorta scoffing about it and the price, until they saw this thing in action, they went crazy over it, wanted to know why I hadn't had one of these before now.

I LUVVVVVV IT!! :woohoo:

Well pot you bought the volkswagon of nibblers,fien is the cadillac.I wouldnt buy no other,i just purchased a brand new one.It takes no tools to change the nibbler bit.We tried different models none compared to fiens performance on hip cuts and valley cuts.

I have four of them know,650.00 for a nibbler that cuts metal like butter is well worth the expense

If I were going to do metal regularly, I wood prob. follow your lead, but we just do a few of them a year. I couldn't believe how easy this thing went thru a piece of metal...as you say ...like cutting butter.

Bosch here. Mostly just use snips.

I also have a Bosch. Mostly use it as a shop tool, those little smileys they make wreak havok on the underlayment when stepped on.

Tinner hes installing what we call ag panels or low profile panels,exposed fastner systems.These are the panels that the nibblers are designed for cutting,commercial corragated panels.
