[Shop-talk] Nibbler

[Benjamin Zwissler]

I've had an HF air nibbler for several years and had no problem.  I tend
not to use just because of the mess it makes - I'm picking up little
crescent moon shaped pieces of metal forever after each use.

I have seen the drill mounted ones advertised but can't tell you where off
the top of my head.
