Fein Shears & Nibblers

About Fein Nibblers

When it comes to cutting sheet metal as quickly and easy as possible, Fein nibblers are the perfect tool for the job. While the average home-based handyperson may not be aware of these nifty tools, nibblers are found in almost every professional roofer or carpenter’s toolbox. Similar to jigsaws, shears and nibblers from Fein's wide range are a handy alternative to hand tools such as snips. However, nibblers cut through metal with a punch that moves in an up-and-down motion instead rather than slicing through it with a blade.

Types of Nibblers from Fein

Compact and powerful, Fein nibblers are some of the most competitive in the market.You can choose either a cordless sheet metal nibbler or a standard electric nibbler depending on your needs. If portability is a must for your profession, you might want to invest in a Fein battery nibbler along with a few extra Fein nibbler parts, such as extra rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, a USB storage battery adapter, or rapid charger.

How to Select Fein Nibblers?

When selecting a Fein nibbler, you want to consider its cutting capacity, minimum cutting radius, and the strokes per minute. Cutting capacity ranges from eight gauge to 18 gauge, with a lower rating having a much thicker cutting ability. The material being cut will also greatly affect the required cutting capacity. The minimum cutting radius of a nibbler will determine whether you are able to make tight-radius cuts. The typical range is 1.75 inches to 4.75 inches, so choose a nibbler with a lower minimum cutting radius if your work requires making tight cuts often. The range for strokes per minutes is 1,300 to 4,000; choose less strokes per minute for thicker gauge materials.
