About Air Nibblers

An air nibbler is a tool for cutting sheet metal with minimal distortion. The air nibbler is many times faster than tin snips, and much more precise making it the ultimate metal cutting tool. The best feature about this tool is that it fits in the palm of your hand and easily cuts through sheet metal as thick as 18 gauges. One type operates much like a punch and die, with a blade that moves in a linear fashion against a fixed die, removing small bits of metal and leaving a kerf approximately 6 mm wide. Another type operates similar to tin snips, but shears the sheet along two parallel tracks 3-6 mm apart, rolling up the waste in a tight spiral as it cuts. Nibblers may be manual (hand operated) or powered. The air powered nibblers are absolutely ideal for cutting plastic, tin, aluminum and other metals. These serious-duty air nibblers are designed to create intricate patterns in aluminum or steel without leaving burrs. Features • Air Nibbler has the ability to cut up to 18 gauge rolled steel without distortion • Lever throttle for ease of starting cuts • Compact design allows work in confined areas
