Mike, I just bought that unit today. I didn't have any of those issues your showing. In fact, I tested it on thin gauge, hi quality, stainless steel sheet metal. It went through it like butter, and handled tight curves easily. Maybe you need more air flow, oil, or return it for another one. I see you struggling to move it along. It shouldn't be that hard. Even my tiny wife was able to handle it with ease. Good luck to you. Thanks for the video.

thinner metal would cut easier. I think I was cutting the max.

Hi Carbonhead T - I know you said you were using it on thin gauge, have you tried it on thicker gauge like what Mike was using (16 gauge)? I know I'm asking a year later

Mike thanks for sharing, it definitely has potential! Much cleaner and easier than sheers. I am beginning a total resto on a 71 Bay and will definitely stop by HF and get one.

There is another Sheet Metal nibbler on the market that uses your battery operated drill rather than an air compressor for power. The drill operated nibbler can cut very sharp turns and curves besides having a nice smooth cut in its easy to use form. The Harbor Freight 'air' nibbler cannot hold a candle to the drill operated nibbler and neither does it have the ease of use characteristics that make a drill nibbler simpler overall. Boasting the same pricing I purchased the Lnchett Double Head Sheet Nibbler Metal Cutter for $29.99 + tax off of Amazon and made a 4" hole cut in my wife's dryer to relocate the duct to avoid the suffocating right angle and poor drying from before. It cut through my wife's dryer like no ones business and it was amazingly easy to do. Love to see you do a follow up on the drill attached nibbler in the near future you should get a lot of views.

@@gloomentaryone6934 Did you read about the 4" hole I cut in my wife's dryer? In about 20 seconds I cut the most perfect hole into my wife's dryer using the drill operated nibbler. Don't know what to tell you but this video demonstrates straight cuts and I never ever used a nibbler or cut a 4" round hole into any kind of sheet metal before. Stupid is the person who has an opinion about something he's never tried before. In my opinion by watching this vid the drill operated nibbler is far faster and easier to use than the air powered nibbler without the need to satisfy cfm requirements on your air compressor.

_"Stupid is the person who has an opinion about something he's never tried before"_ ??? ...so you'd want your kids to try heroine and cocaine before looking down on it? That's stupid. Besides, I HAVE been stupid with routers in the past. That's why I know this is about rotational direction versus cutting direction-and DoanKallMe is right. It's also about where the piece is clamped or braced. You learn that from routing wood too.

What size air compressor are you using? What is the actual thickness of the aluminum?

Check the manual, i have the same nibbler in europe and in the manual it says max thickness is 1.3 milimiters or 3/64 of an inch... Maybe thats why

Anyone have issues with the head on this thing wanting to spin off? It will cut just fine, but I can't get the head tight enough to not spin off while in use. I can't seem to find any information on how or why it would do this.

horrible video, it is because you have an inadequate compressor causing the tool to bog and not run at the rated speed and pressure. Works fine for me but i have a large volume compressor.
