It leaves LOADS of the little crescent moon bits everywhere and yes, 
it uses a lot of air - as much as a grinder but I don't pay attention 
to CFM #s because my compressor keeps up.

The comment about flat stock being required is too true.  I think 
you'd be better off getting the shears for most things (less mess 
too!).  The nibble does leave a nicer edge than the shears when you 
start getting to thicker panels.  Also, the nibblers can just start 
wandering away on you if you're not careful.  Don't ask me how I know that.....
