I have many sheet metal working tools --- and the best is my Beverly Shear model B -- but if you get a nibbler -- and have the compressor to support it - go AIR.... I have an Ingersol Rand (I think) high dollar one... and rarely use it. These are just not accurate - or at least - I can't seem to run it very accurately. It's fine for cutting "close" but I can cut smack dab on the line with the Beverly Shear!

Just my 2 cents worth...

I also have an air "shear" - which also can cut right on line - but it doesn't make turns real well - so you have to sneak up on a tight turn.... but it will cut gentle curves and straight lines very easily and I prefer it over the nibbler!
