Double Head Sheet Metal Nibbler Drill Attachment

Double Headed Sheet Metal Cutter Nibbler for Precision Metal Work

Transform your standard electric or pneumatic drill into a fast, accurate metal cutting station with this double headed sheet metal nibbler. Designed for clean, controlled cuts in sheet metal and other thin materials, it delivers smooth results where traditional saws and snips struggle.

Engineered as a drill attachment, this nibbler fits most electric and pneumatic drills operating between 1500-3000 RPM. The double head design allows cutting in any direction, making it suitable for straight lines, curves, corners, and complex profiles. Both left and right cutter heads are threaded so the auxiliary handle can be mounted on either side, improving control and comfort. When one cutting side becomes dull, simply switch to the other head to continue working. The integrated deburring function helps tidy cut edges, reducing sharp burrs and improving the finish of your workpiece.

The tool is suitable for a wide range of applications including sheet metal fabrication, automotive bodywork, roofing, ducting, DIY projects, and workshop use. It works on sheet metal, corrugated panels, pipes, coated materials, bakelite, plastic, fiberglass, and more, within the recommended thickness range. The compact orange ABS plastic body keeps weight low while providing a solid grip and easy handling, and the included wrench supports quick setup and maintenance.

FAQ

Q: Which drills are compatible with this nibbler?
A: It is designed for most electric and pneumatic drills that can operate between 1500-3000 RPM and accept the attachment in their standard drill chuck.

Q: Can it cut curved lines and corners?
A: Yes. The double headed design allows cutting in multiple directions, making it suitable for curves, circles, and intricate shapes as well as straight cuts.

Q: What materials can I cut with this tool?
A: It can cut stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, copper, plastic sheets, fiberboard, corrugated panels, and similar thin materials within the listed thickness limits.

Q: Does it leave a rough edge?
A: The nibbler produces a relatively clean edge compared with many saws. Minor burrs may appear depending on material and technique, but the tool is designed to help minimize and tidy these edges.

Q: Is any special maintenance required?
