Questions & Answers

How does it perform when cutting a straight line? Is it difficult to control or does it wonder?

Although it cuts perfectly, cutting a perfectly straight line in r- is difficult. panel. Whenever possible, I used a guide or templete. This is a fantastic tool.

Is this item effective?

Everything is fantastic. It's used to cut duct work. br>Punched metal needs to be cleaned up. br>The best way to fit the cutter through is to drill a hole first. It's mostly straight cuts, and it's super quick. It's also simple and enjoyable.

Is it possible to cut out oddly shaped cutouts with this tool?

It does not turn easily, in my opinion. If you try, you're more likely to break your nose.

The LEFT is afraid of censorship

5/5

Very nice, but I'm afraid that if the Amazon community/LEFT disagrees, my review or comment will be censored.

Nibbler of excellent quality

5/5

This is an excellent program. I bought it because of the cordless operation and because it came highly recommended by others. It's what we use to put up pole barns, and it glides right through the ribbed metal panels like butter. Cutting across metal roof ribs to create window and door openings is simple. This is something I'm glad I purchased.

Once you've purchased something, you'll only have to deal with it once

5/5

I should have bought one of these a long time ago. It's fantastic over ribs on ag- The panel is made of 29 gauge material. It uses a lot of batteries, so I bought an adapter to use my old ones, and I'm glad I did! With a 4ah 20v battery, you get about 12 rips of 3' panel before it slows down and needs to be changed. If I were only going to do one project or build, I wouldn't buy this, but if you cut panels on a regular basis, this is the best!.

Japan is responsible for the creation

5/5

This is yet another of Makita's best-selling tools. It's ideal for applying to ribbed steel. Cuts much faster than expected and is relatively quiet. I also purchased their straight-cut sheers, which made my job a lot easier and was well worth the money.

This nibbler is fantastic

5/5

I needed to cut thick aluminum, and this nibbler did an excellent job of it. I used to use a sawzall and a jigsaw, both of which would kickback or leave scratches, dents, and were difficult to use. It's now safer, faster, and easier to nibble with this nibbler.

Nibbler from Makita that works without a cord

5/5

It performs admirably and is battery friendly. I have both the corded and cordless JN1601, and the cordless one isn't as fast as I had hoped. It works great, and I no longer have to lug around a 100-foot cord.
