Nickel Plated Nibbling Tool

Taiwanese made, sharp and strong as all get-out, and it's neither too heavy nor too bulky. It's more than capable of serving the purpose I bought it for (nibbling styrene) but just to test it out, I was able to cut through a soda can like butter as well.

worked great for Guitar frets. I sanded a groove with an angle file so they would lie flatter. (do it with the tool closed so you can use the top of the cutter as a fence). It cut with very little effort. a small amount of finish filing needed. I assume the SMac $150 version is better. But if your just doing a guitar for yourself. This worked a treat.

The tool does what it is described to do and is well made. I did not notice that this is for 0.020 and up material. I am a tool and die maker and make shims daily that include far thinner material. I had to take mine apart and alter the trim edge with weld to tighter tolerance so I can cut 0.005.

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.

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.

I used one of these tools back in the 60's and was delighted to find this one. I use it to cut a rectangular opening in a small plastic kit assembly. Take a look at the photo, that will say it all. I've removed most of the plastic and I'll use a file to remove the remaining, rough, edges. Gppd Luck.

Very thin bite. Did not work for me. Looks and feels well made but for thin material.

Works great on automotive sheet metal!

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.

Comprei para cortar plástico e está funcionando perfeito

Quality item

Fantastic

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