How to Cut Sheet Metal | Craftright Sheet Metal NIBBLER Cutter

In this video I show how a nibbler works and how to use one. (02:18 Listen to my reaction! 🤣) I had never used a sheet metal nibbler before this! It's an easy way to cut sheet metal, it does a good job, and is a lot of fun!

Going with the channel was simple. Going across the grooves required a bit more oomph and you had to hold the drill on just the right angle but still, it was pretty easy (even for my weak girly arms!).

I purchased the Craftright Sheet Metal Nibbler Cutter (with extra cutting rod and hex wrench tool included) for $38.11 from Bunnings Hardware in December 2020.

🗨 This is one of my earliest uploads. It won't win any film-making awards but I had a lot of fun using the nibbler and making the video. I hope it helps!

Thanks Karen a big help, looking at re-sheeting the shed didn’t want to buy expensive tools.

Great video, shows the reality of using this nibbler once you get it home, and the traps to avoid for the average punter. Anyone who's used blunt crappy tin-snips will relate to your elation as it first takes off through the steel. Cheers....!

I did a search as I was looking to buy this. Have to say, I love that you showed your errors/learning curve in using it . I also loved the original reaction "how good is that!" that's how I respond when I'm surprised how well some thing works! LOL Watch out for close-ups and focus. Thanks, you've helped me decide to give it a go.

Well done Karen with your no frills and entertaining vid. Now I know how it works I will get one tomorrow. Many great tips there on what and what not to do!

Really appreciate this...thanks for leaving in the parts about getting stuck, that's exactly what would happen to us and we'd feel like the only ones its ever happened to! Going down & getting a snag & this attachment

Thanks for the upload, much appreciated, I have used many tools, many times but never a nibbler, very good and very helpful.

Hey Karen, seriously appreciate this demo of the Nibbler. Brought one the other day to finish Tiny House Roofing Iron and like you was very nervous about using it. Thanks so much for building my confidence to have a go...

Good work, I looked for how exactly the bunnings Craftright nibler tool attachment work, finally found it. Better if you could give the exact item brand on the description aswell.
Thank you!

The drill attachment are rubbish designs they achieve poor quality and finish poor quality product.
Highly recommend investing in BAYER SHEET METAL NIBBER $130 from Sydney Tools
