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:

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.

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.

Bosch here. Mostly just use snips.

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.

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.
