Nibbler

[IMPALA MAN]

I need some reccomendations on a nibbler. I want to cut portions of an original quarter from a 1st gen Camaro. I need a tool that a hobbiest would use. Not one that is designed to use every day. Obviously there are differences in price and quality. Electric or pnuematic, and everything from 29.95 to 1,000.00. I just need a reccomendation what would be best for use once or twice a year.
Thanks for your input.

I'd probably use Harbor Freights 3" cut-off tool, typically $20 if you have enough compressor. My 3hp 20 gal is slow with this tool but works. The other option is an electric drill with an arbor and cut-off wheel.

I have a nibbler also but personally don't like using it. Inaccurate, noisey, and throws moon shaped metal slivers EVERYWHERE.

love it. best 300 bucks ive spent for metal cutting. everything is in a nice little coil which makes clean up easy. plus you can cut down to a 4" radius.

I have a nibbler too, it just takes up space on the shelf. We prefer cut wheels on a 90 degree die grider. Or a air powered body saw.

Nibblers are HORRIBLE tools.... don't bother.

If you don't have air --- then just get electric cut off tools.
