Astro Pneumatic Tool 727 ONYX Heavy Duty Air Nibbler

It works well on thinner sheet metal.

Used my nibbler on sheet metal, once I got used to it i could get very accurate cuts. Worth the investment.

Great price good quality tool don’t expect to cut thick gauge sheet metal. It can cut curves very easy not very loud metal shavings go everywhere during use, recommend getting a pickup magnet unless you are cutting outdoors.

Nibbler works well. Tough to cut R-panel with, doesn't like the big curves. You also need a air compressor that can keep up with it. For long cuts, my 150 lbs compressor couldn't maintain enough air. Cut true and straight. Definitely recommend it for tin without the big bends.

Nicely made, works well. I'm happy with my few astro products, will get more if they make what I need. I added a swivel fitting, helpful for a tool that needs to be "maneuvered" like a nibbler.

Two week experience with the tool:From my initial use on 26gauge steel it can cut it easily. However it seem to bind or get stuck and require force to push it through the bind. Tried 90-150psi it didn't have an effect on performance...In videos I've watched about this tool this doesn't seem to be an expected behavior.Cons:- Binding during straight cuts (not sure if this is something that nibbler do from time to time)-1/4 npt air inlet out of spec in other words it was too large... 1.To large for a 1/4 npt milton fitting but not large enough for a 3/8 npt. 2. I could bottom out the fitting and have an air leak with tape 3.Used industrial paste for large gaps to seal itFuture plans :I order a second one from a different vendor for comparison. The Ingersoll Rand looks vastly different then most models on here. It will be interesting to see if it performs better.Side thought:The general design of the tool resembles some of the poorly rated Chinese models out there. This is just an aesthetic observation. (Since I don't have one those on hand and cannot compare the internals)

I have used one of these in the past but forgot how great they are to use. I have a plasma cutter, cut off grinders both pneumatic and electric and this little guy is faster at cutting over all of them.It is a smooth cut and very fast. It does eat out about an 1/8 of an inch of the material, but if you want to cut a lot of (flat) metal quickly, this thing gets it done.I don’t know how long it stays sharp, I have made a lot of cuts with it, and it’s still working good so far. I prefer it over all the other tools I have.

I was skeptical seeing other nibblers going for a lot more, but this cut through 18 ga like butter. Actually had to slow the speed down otherwise the cut was all other the place. The pcs it cuts out are very small and make a mess, but i used a magnetic sweeper and got missy of it. Wear eye protection as the pcs can go anywhere.

Ne semble pas être bien adapté pour une coupe en ligne droite pour de la tôle ondulée de toiture et pour le soffit, il a du mal à passer les bosses de la tôle.Sinon l'outil est de bonne qualité et facile à manoeuvrer, la coupe est nette, franche et propre. A été utiliser avec un compresseur à air (de 110 psi environ).

Totally disappointed when I got it, I can see that there are sign or people trying to open this item using a spanner with the amount of scratches on it. I return it immediately

Perfect ! Thank You !

Reçu en bon état et fonctionne très bien

Good for the job I needed
