Silverline 244980 Air Nibbler 190 mm

Did exactly what I needed. Excellent tool. Needs a lot of air but my 50l compressor managed ok although it was on quite a lot of the time I was using this.

surprisingly clean cut when you consider it is chewing its way thtough the metal. Shame there is no way to catch the little arcs of metal it produces as they get everywhere! Jams quite easily if you try to turn too quickly but I guess that is down to the pressure used.

For the price I wasn't expecting much, but I needed to cut some square holes in thin aluminium (probably 1mm thick) so thought i'd give it a go.I was impressed by the finish the nibbler gave, especially if you use the tool against a nice straight edge, which meant minimal filing (always a plus). It does have a habit of jamming if the metal chips don't clear properly, but tapping the protruding end of the cutter on the bench clears them away with minimal fuss.Its not as noisy as I thought it would be, in fact it was drowned out most of the time by the compressor struggling to keep up.Time will tell how long the cutting punch lasts, but as i'm not cutting anything heavy and replacement punches are pretty cheap anyway.In all a great nibbler for the price, exactly what I needed.

In areas where the workpiece is not flat this tool is not very useful. Otherwise it is very controllable and fast to use.

Works great

I have been using this on new 1mm sheet metal, as well as car body panels and its been great, although it won't cut rusty metal very well. The only problem I had was the thread in the middle loosened, but this was easily sorted by clamping the main body in a vice and tightening the top back on with a spanner. As someone has prev said, it does use a lot of air as I only get about 20 seconds use before my 50 litre compressor has to re fill.

The reason I have given this product 5 stars is because the nibbler needle you get with the product lasts for 15 minutes. I was angry and regretted the purchase. However when we got hold of new needles from the same manufacturer the tool did its job very well indeed.We cut out windows from VW T5 panel van.

Bought this to fit windows in my VW T5, it cuts the metal much neater and easier than a jigsaw, after using this I wouldn't even consider trying to cut out windows any other way. It goes around the corners very easily and the punch almost follows the line of the inner skin. For the price it's fantastic. I made sure not to exceed the 90 psi maximum pressure tho, ensure your air compressor is set accordingly.

prodotto di buona qualità

antes cortaba con radial o tijeras chapa de vehículo, y la verdad que es fantástica el tiempo precisión y ahorro en material, lo recomiendo.

Alles Super!

Mycket bra nibbler, skar lätt igenom 1 mm stålplåt med raka och fina snitt.Blir som vanligt väldigt många och mycket smått plåtskräp av en nibbler och dessa var extremt små och väldigt många men lätt att dammsuga upp på garagegolvet så ser inga problem med detta.
