   I used this to cut circles in metal roofing for the vent pipes. It did a real good job. Just measure and scribe the circle, pop a starter hole with a drill bit and it took a few seconds with this tool on a cordless drill and it was done. Easiest holes I ever cut! Note: it would be slow cutting on a long cut with a drill like I used. The seller recommends 3000rpm and my cordless was only 1800rpm. With 3000rpm it will probably cut pretty darn fast. I will try that in the future. At the price point of this(16.00) I have to give it 5 stars. Only time will tell as to durability.

   I was skeptical about how well this item was going to work based on what similar models were being sold for on other sites. This is simply a case where "you get what you pay for" is dead wrong.I was absolutely speechless by how easily this tool literally ate it's way through the steel plate I had been grinding away at two days before with the ever trusty 4 1/2 inch grinder with a cut wheel in order to create the design drawn onto the surface. There is a slight learning curve as to which way the tool needs to face in order to fulfill the needs but after about two or three minutes I was happily and quickly on my way.If I had any concerns it is that this thing produces a LOT of curled steel bits that fall away and the cut path is approx 1/8 or 3/16 of an inch wide.Well worth the money spent and at this price you could almost get three for what others are selling one for. AND..you have an extra bit for when the first one ever goes dull. (remember to always use lubricating oil)

   Damn good tool. I have a $300 Makita electric nibbler and a Chicago pneumatic air nibbler. Their dies and punches don’t last long as one side of this one. They also cost as much as two of these! ( the dies and punches). You get two sides, ability to cut tighter radius’s longer wear, twice the value and better performance! Metal artist for 6 years, working 20 ga sheet metal. All of them that look like this are the same and imported, take your pick! Probably all made in the same factory! Two thumbs up! My plasma torch is lonesome now!

   Product seems good, but can be slow for long cuts. Also, it's somewhat difficult to go through tall ribs of a steel roofing panel (need to bend the tool around the contours). Took me about 10 minutes to make one cut lengthwise on a 12' sheet of metal roofing. I realize the time will depend on the drill speed - I used a cordless drill on high speed (still took about 8-10 minutes per cut). The product does work good though and I don't regret buying it. Makes a nice clean cut and had no problem going through steel roofing. If you need to make rounded cuts then this is the tool for you. If you have a lot of long cuts to make in steel roofing panels metal shears or an abrasive blade will be a lot faster.

   I will not say it is for someone that would use a nibbler on a daily basis. There are a few times, like maybe once a year or so, that I need a tool like this. Have made do with what I had and it was more work than needed. Today I got my nibbler for this years project and it worked perfectly. Very happy with the tools performance and it made my project go so smoothly and fast. Now I am thinking I might have to use thin metal for more of my projects based on how well this worked.

   I'm one of those that have been struggling with tin snips, Dremel tool, and other methods taught by my father. I was looking through the web on how to cut curves in sheet metal and found this. It is easy to use and freehand guide along a curve. I actually looped a wire around the head, anchored the other end to a screw and cut a near perfect inside hole 11" diameter. It leaves small chips behind, so I cut over a cardboard box.
