As a sheetmetal worker its always been a reliable brand, never disapointed. Commercial grade.
Produit parfait pour une utilisation en scurit bon rapport qualit-prix
These are super sharpe cut through r-panel with ease! Would recommend! Does take a little getting used to but overall these work great.
Je fait installation de comptoir en quartz et granite, et defoi levier trop grand,donc avec cette makita trs fassil rapetisser.
Made putting together a steel building easy. This tool cuts metal with ease even over ridges.
This device cuts clean and very quickly, wish I would have bought it sooner!
Worked as should when tested. Have a siding project to do when weather co-operates.
Ich bin kein Profi, aber habe dem Gartenhaus und der Terrasse ein neues Metalldach bzw. Metallverkleidung verpasst.
Das Gert ist leicht einhndig zu habhaben, vom Gerusch her drauen gut ertrglich und die Schnittqualitt des 0,2mm Bleches sehr gut. Dickere Metalle sind noch nicht von mir geschnitten worden. Der Knabber kann auch mit engen Kurven gut zurechtkommen und kommt auch mit 90 Winkel im Schnittweg hervorragend zurecht. Dachfirst, Ortgang und Wellblechplatten bildeten kein Problem. Auch die entsstehenden Schnittgrate sind so gut, dass eine Nachbehandlung nicht notwendig war.
Schon jetzt hat sich der Kauf gegenber einer Fremdbeauftragung schon mehr als voll amortisiert.
Works great cutting barn siding and roofing across the ribs.
Worth every penny. Cuts through aluminum sheet with ease. Ergonomic and light weigh
Was hesitant at first because of the price. But this time you really get what you pay for. Does what it is expected and does it well. Very easy to use right of the bat. Not much learning curve needed. Does not damage corrugated sheet metal like shears do. Very well built. Seems it will last a very long time. Helps to shorten work time by a factor of at least ten compared to manual snips and does it better. ONLY con I can think of is you have to be careful of sharp metal cutouts left every where after cutting
I use the bosses Fein at work. Makita works as good!
Paid for itself on the first project. Cut 26 gauge corrugated easily. It will cut 2 sheets at a time. Highly recommend.
Expensive, but Makita quality is worth it. Works very well.
This is one of the tools that I don’t use often. But needing it and not having it is a nightmare. Great product, great tool. Worth the money
Works exactly as it should. With a one off project when buying a cordless version isn’t warranted this is a very affordable solution.
Smooth and easy to use. So far used it on corrugated roofing and a metal cabinet. So much easier than electric snips or grinder.
Outstanding product. Every sheet metal erection crew must have this tool.
The product done exactly what I expected it to do. Worth the price!
These nibblers are a must have when cutting metal roofing
If you are working with any kind of light weight metal. This is the tool you need to cut it. Way faster than my shears or anything else in my arsenal. Wish I would have bout these years ago
4 toiles car il n’y a pas de manuel d’utilisation et c’est un peu dommage. Mais sinon utiliser c’est parfait. Les coupes sont rgulires et trs rapide quel gain de temps.
Le seul truck c’est que les courbes ne peuvent pas tre accentues car le retour derrire le poinon bloque le mouvement. Mais n’en ayant jamais eu en main je pense que je m’tais fait de ide. Niveau poid un peu lourd au bout du moment.
I have been cuting 16 guage base angle like butter. It saved me hours from using band saw
It is a great machine. Use a magnet sweeper to collect the small bits left when it nibbles. Don’t do over carpet. Like other reviewers have said, check your shoes.
Awesome well made machine.
Cuts fast and with very little effort. No sparks, amount of noise is reasonable.
I have only used this on R panel but it works great for that.
We love this tool. Got it quick and at a good value.
I used it to cut tin for out building and it did a great job
Bought this for my husband for Christmas and he loves it.
surprenant comme facile a manipuler et coupe avec rapidit excellent outil
This tool cuts metal panels easily and no mater the shape — M, R corrugated. I’ve tried all the cutters- hand drill driven etc but nothing works like this one… expensive but fast and easy to use
I have used it to cut panels for a steel barn. Despite the many chips it produces it actually makes a remarkably smooth nearly bur free edge. You have to get used to maneuvering the unit to follow he contour of metal ribs. The cut tool minimizes distortion of the metal. I am pretty happy with this tool.
Attention, on peut aussi occasionnellement couper de l’inox mais il faut y aller trs trs lentement et accepter qu’on usera plus vite le couteau.
Le modle sur batterie est aussi trs bon et utilise les mmes couteaux et matrice.
Avec ce dernier, faire attention a ne pas se trouver dans une position ou les copeaux peuvent rentrer par la ventilation et se coller sur le stator.
Die Schnitte sind recht sauber und mit ein wenig bung und der richtigen Winkelstellung schafft man gute gerade Schnitte, mit Anschlag fast perfekt.
Die Schneidabflle (die blichen Sichelmonde) sind natrlich hartnckig und spitz. Da diese nach unten ausgeworfen werden sind sie aber dann doch leicht aufzufangen…
eplaced several ways that were ineffective and costly to cut metal building panel
Metal roofing. This is an awesome cutter. Easy and clean cuts.
These nibblers work great! I’m a contractor and had a sheet metal job and am very impressed. They are powerful enough to go through 2 sheets of 26g metal like butter!
If know what it’s used for and thinking about buying it. Do it!
So awesome! Recommend! Cuts straight and smooth! Super easy to use! Smith finish!
If you are working with steel roofing or siding this tool is a must have! Amazing time saver!
Work really well, a big game changer if you work with tin buildings and / or roofs. Cuts over the ribs easily. Takes a bit of getting used to, and they’re quite pricey, but so far really happy with them.
One of the most helpful tools, Ive needed to buy. Highly recommended…
Have a porter cable nibbler this new makita alot fast cutting speed great tool
Cuts metal like butter, handles the contours of coareagated with ease.
I used this nibbler on 16 guage steel, and it cut through it like butter leaving a smooth edge. I love it, it also has a decent turning range although this tool wood be incredible if it were able to make tighter turns, maybe there is an adapter available.
Will never do a metal roof or siding without it. What a time saver.
Awesome tool! As a roofer it makes it way easier to cut metal roofing than using tin snips! Cuts super crisp and clean lines and doesn’t leave as sharp of edges as tin snips
Cuts like crazy, easy to control, makes beautiful curves, whacks through ribbed building sheets, and makes you look like a pro doing it. This is essential equipment. If I had known how nice this tool was, I’d have jumped through hoops to have one for the first two buildings.
The only warning I can offer is be careful of the curf, this leaves “fingernail trimings” of very sharp steel in its wake, a roofing magnet made quick work of picking those up.
Awesome tool for the price. It goes through steel panels as fast as I can feed them.
Installed heavy gauge Cortin on our new home. This tool was worth every penny. Feels well built and should last me the rest of my life as an occasional metal installer.
Great Makits quality and cuts like butter! I do sheet metal work and this is a great product! Thanks
One of the best power tools I have ever invested in! I’m doing corrugated sheet metal on one wall of my garage. This little tool has made doing cut outs so easy and makes it a snap to make precision cuts in the metal. Any one that does sheet metal work should have one of these!!! Well with the investment!
I have been a contractor for 25 years this a great tool for constructing pole building with uneven metal.I wish i had this years ago.What a great tool !!
Makes cutting roof galvanize easy. Cut like a hot knife through butter.
Good Tool. We use it cut 24Gauge Corrugated Metal. Been using it for 3 weeks straight on big job, in snow, freezing rain, down to -15 degrees. So far so good Saved money and time by getting through Amazon.
I am so excited that I got this tool!!! It is so easy, after a few practice runs, to cut corrugated tin. Can cut detailed shapes. Love it, Love it, Love it!!!!
Excellent! Could not have done my 50×72 building without it. Best thing i found for the cross cuts thru ribbed metal panels and the steel soffit panels.
Hey, it’s a makita! I have makita tools 30 yrs old that still work. Don’t buy cheap tools. They wind up being expensive.
This was a great tool my boyfriend love it . He said its the best tool around to cut metal.
He told the other guys about it. Thank You !
Bought this when a tornado blew my barn away. Cuts perfect through the barn metal and easy control over the ridges. Low vibration is easy on the hand but is very loud. Use ear protection. Nice price too
Husband is very happty with the product. First time buying tools from the web, and all worked out just fine.
I am building a barn on my property. Received the nibbler and it cut my time to fit metal by 75%. I installed R panel and it zips through the straight cuts like a knife through butter.
Cutting out the vents took a little planning. I used a step bit in all four corners inserted the tool and was the easiest to do with the skirting installed. I do recommend that you cut every thing in the same area as there was a lot of little half moon chips.. picked those up with a roller magnet. Did the whole project in about 6 hours.
I looked at all the nibblers on line and for the price of this tool I am very impressed. great amperage, speed of cutting, cuts clean and very accurate. I have no issues. Wished that I would have purchased years ago. No more saw blades or cut off wheels for me. 5 star is my rating. Note: I have been in the trades for over 35 years and love a great tool!
The Makita JN1601 5 amp 16 gauge nibbler is one fantastic tool. It fits the hands nicely and was easy to handle. If you are putting up metal roofing or siding you diffenantly need this tool. The JN1601 exceeded my expectations. The nibbler is as awesome tool.
Great tool. Love it. How did I live without it? A real money maker. Light, versatile, gets the job done. I’m a professional.
I’m a contractor and have a shear but I never use it any more. Spend a little more and buy the nibbler.
Much better than I thought possible. Great for installing furnaces. Saves a ton of time well worth the money. Buy one.
Works just nice. Used to do metal roofing over house and a garage. Cuts just fine, easy to guide.
I think I start to like Makita tools.
The tool worked great. I may need to buy the replacement part that cuts the steel. I cut every sheet on a 32 x 64 x 16′ high pole building. My son and carpenter’s thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.
Just need to do all your cutting in an area easy to clean the small pieces up.
Follow-up : After several months of use this is a very good tool & works well.
YEP after even more months, still works good. For the record: I have cut 3 – 29 gauge sheets of steel roofing at 1 time with it.
