Has anyone ever heard of or used the nibbler? It is some little had tool for cutting metal. I saw it in maximum pc and it was like $10. Normally I would just use the good ole' dremmel, but I just did a paint job and wanted something that wouldn't totally wreck it.

Ya.... it's like a hole punch.

It works, a bit ruff on the hands.

i have it and i hate it, take alot of hand power, and bends a little bit, but not bad, it just too too long to even go 1 inch.

Do u think that it would screw up a paint job?

I dont like the nibbler....like...at all. Id rather drill 300 holes then use the nibbler. It takes forever to cut stuff, you have to drill a big hole to get the stupid thing started and your hand will be at its breaking point by the time you're done. For price I guess its the solution of choice but that doesnt mean I dotn dislike it alot.

If you want to put more effort into it and are willing to have the patience to do the job right then by all means go for it.

no, it did not mess up my paint, it is just very slow and hurts your hand.
