Shears & Nibblers

Shop Shears and Nibblers at Acme Tools.

Shears and nibblers are essential for cutting sheet metal, with each tool serving specific roles. Nibblers, best for smaller projects, work well in hard-to-reach areas and can handle tight curves and straight lines, though they're not suited for precise cuts since they remove material in their path. They're particularly useful for detailed patterns in metal art pieces and practical for corrugated metal. In contrast, shears are designed for more substantial work, causing less deformation to the metal. Available in single-cut and double-cut versions and powered in various ways, shears adapt to both stationary and mobile work settings. Single-cut shears, functioning like scissors, are ideal for more robust work but may slightly alter the metal's shape during cutting. Double-cut shears remove a narrow strip of material, maintaining the metal's form with minimal waste, though they're not ideal for curved cuts or very heavy-duty work. What's more, we offer both corded and cordless options to maximize your efficiency whilst on the go. Overall, these tools offer efficient cutting solutions, balancing between mobility, precision, and task demands.
