These work great a lot easier than cheers. I see you guys complaining about the grip, pinching your hand they only do that if you have it held too high up on the handle and you’re not supposed to close them completely every time you squeeze halfway does the trick

I used it for cutting openings in the aluminum face plate of some electronic equipment I was building and was surprised at the ease of use. A close inspection of the device shows it is well built. I particularly like that I don't have to make full width cuts but can "shave" an edge to widen an opening slightly. I'm quite pleased with the purchase.

Seemed like a nice tool, then I used it for a nibble of 18 gauge steel. On the second snip the blade broke off and the product was useless. I think it would be awesome for projects of much lighter gauge thicknesses; but that wasn’t what my intended use was.

I’m a big Knipex fan. I have a number of their tools and they are always great quality. I’m using these nibblers to cut 20 gauge (around 0.038”) 304 stainless steel, which is much harder to cut than mild steel, and these nibblers are doing a great job. The stainless is close to the maximum size that these nibblers can cut and I feel like the blade is going to wear out faster than it otherwise would. I’m glad to see that you can buy new replacement blades at a decent price.I would definitely recommend these nibblers, especially compared to the cheap brands being sold on Amazon. These are from a very reputable brand and they are relatively cheap for such good quality.

I bought these nibblers to do a specific job to install a heat extraction vent in an automobile hood. I needed nibblers that would not distort the sheet metal and make a mess of it. I have had experience with Knipex tools before, and they are very high quality. These performed great for my task, and you can achieve a very high level of precision with them once you use them for just a few minutes. I only used them to cut single layer autobody sheet metal. I can see where other folks had issues or actually broke the cutter jaw on theirs by trying to cut sheet metal that was too thick. If you use them properly they are more than worth the money.

I only used these on residential HVAC ductwork and they broke on the 3rd use. Honestly it was way easier and more efficient using the standard $25 metal snips.

These Knipex nibblers are a quality tool, and they work well. Knipex has a reputation for quality, and these nibblers meet that expectation in every way. They cut easily and don't cause much distortion to the edge of the metal at all. I've used them on 20 ga and 22 ga both.One small detail -- be careful of your hand placement when cutting through. The handles have raised sections that allow you to have leverage to push the tool along, but if you have any skin on top of those sections when you cut through, you will feel it.

I used this tool to cut a large gasket out of 0.5mm aluminium sheet. It was still a long job but the tool certainly made things easier. Although the tool is basically quite simple there is a technique to using which comes with practice. Be sure to read the instructions.

My wife wanted me to weld a sheet metal backing to a metal picture frame and all I had to cut the metal was some snips. I knew they would leave a jagged edge with lots of metal deformed by moving the snips around. I did a bit of research and found nibblers recommended for cutting this kind of thing. I was surprised by the high price, and figured I would probably never use them again to make a picture frame so was a bit reluctant to make the purchase. Alas this was turning into yet another example of a special project becoming far more expensive than they should, but I didn't see another good option and I rationalized that if they are a quality tool they should last a long time. I purchased the tool, and it worked surprisingly well for what I wanted from it.In using it I learned it had another very significant advantage over snips. If you've ever tried to make something from sheet metal you know that if you use snips you get one sharp edge above the tool and another sharp edge below the tool. Normally those sharp edges point towards your hands as you use the tool, and keeping your hands from getting cut up can be a challenge. With nibblers that isn't a problem. In addition to being able to cut a fairly smooth straight line, the cutting part of the tool keeps both cut edges below the tool and away from your hands. No sliced fingers. Wow. Suddenly the price isn't so painful.

Knipex is a German tool company and these reflect that, although they are quite pricey for the money. Using these still beats the heck out oftrying to use regular sheetmetal shears, on galvanized or aluminum sheet materials. They are very 'controllable' compared to shears andgive you a nice clean cut, or even a nibbled corner or hole enlargement. Great for sheet aluminum in a trailer restoration.If you had a lot to do these would save you time and money.One thing I'd like to see Knipex do would be bring out a smaller, less expensive pair of these, with a greater cutting angle on the anvil side, soyou can cut closely in, and in tighter spaces. If the cutter were narrower you could get very exact material removal.
