KNIPEX Sheet Metal Nibbler 90 55 280 - 280 mm, Cuts Steel up to 1.2 mm, Copper/Aluminium up to 1.7 mm, Plastic up to 2.0 mm

For clean, distortion-free cuts in sheet metal and plastic without the need for power, the KNIPEX Sheet Metal Nibbler 90 55 280 stands apart from conventional snips and shears. Its nibbling action punches a continuous 5 mm wide slot, producing a chip that curls away neatly, so you can follow tight curves and straight lines with equal ease. The 280 mm length provides ample leverage, while the multi-component grips keep handling comfortable during longer jobs.

In daily use

Whether you are trimming a copper flashing, cutting an aluminium panel, or shaping a plastic cover, this nibbler handles the task without distorting the surrounding material.
