Maybe so, but when using for long periods it will cost you your hand.

Back in 2003 I was doing a big job that involved having to cut metal siding and roof we had always used snips until one of the other crews introduced us to nibblers .I had dewalt overnight 1 to me . One of the best tools I’ve ever had

Grinders still alive and well and useful for more than one job

My buddy does it with razor blades. Clean cut ever time. The problem with a grinder he found out was the metal dust and hot burs were making surface rust and the hot flakes was taking of paint and rusting. But everyone has their own way.

I use a grinder to cut the length and a utility knife for the width. Actually use a grinder for anything on a roof or when it's to cold for snips on siding. My go to tool besides having a jig and using a circular saw for cutting vinyl.

I agree. Last time I used a nibbler on a metal project the cuttings got everywhere.

My guy has so many fish hooks on his cut from the snips 😂😂

Also take note that when you use a nibbler, it makes a MILLION tiny sharp metal shards and will get stuck in the soles of your shoes, your clothes, your carpet, your vehicle, etc etc etc etc. If you are going to use one, do it outside. And yes, harder to get a straight line compared to an angle grinder with a cutoff disk.

All the metal bits are caught in that little bag. I was skeptical that they were at first, but I tested it. None fell to the floor. And I didn’t find it difficult to get a straight cut at all. Not sure if this guy turned it for camera angle, but I just do it straight on, not sideways.

Take your circular saw turn the blade around backwards, and it cuts that roofing tin like butter. Before to turn the blade back around to cut wood.

You shouldnt be cutting cladding with a circ saw. It heats up the metal on the end too much and causes it to rust. Snips dont remove material they simply cut it without the use of friction. Thata why guys who do metal cladding and metal roofing full time are still in buisness

saw a demonstration by Diablo tools where they cut this this material with their new blade and a circular saw. it was extremely straight and clean.

Nobody's gonna talk about how he's using right angle tin snips?

Damn it Milwaukee.... I want one

Use your green snips for cutting up the rib whilst folding the metal down will make the cut super clean.

Nice. Especially with the catch bag

Bro they pulled away from the second cut because he knew he f***** it up hahaha that's hilarious

Yea, but using the tin snips all day makes your grip strength God level.

Yeah, they cut gray but they make a bazillion little crescent moon shaped razor blade/staples that get everywhere. They end up in The soles of your shoes, in your dogs feet, or the next time you kneel down in that spot you’ll come up with a few hundred of them stuck in your knee. They’re like caltrops.

Can't cut a straight line with hand tools or power tools amazing so glad I watched

Nibbles in my boot, my carpet, my air hose!

I've used tin snips once in my life on roof metal and they will absolutely make you ache from fingers to elbows.

Yes, it sure does.

I usually fold it on the line lick it a few times and tear it apart.

When cutting metal with snips dont close them all the when cutting and you'll have a beautiful cut. Know what you're doing and talking about unlike these guy's

Absolute game changer

Even if it isn't a better cut it saves your hands

Thanks for the demo 👍 subscribed

circular saw with steel cutting blade beats everything to a pulp in both speed and precision. (forget grinders)

A skilsaw with the blade turned backwards works well too

Now you can walk right off your line without noticing Messing around, interesting tool

Milwaukee makes sheet metal shears that cut nice

Angle grinders are my go to

If they only made a composite disc made for cutting metal the same size as a circular saw. That also could make cuts with a pitched angle.

I don't need one but I suddenly want one

There both good, one battery power. One hand power. My ✋️ can crush.

When our roof was done, the roofer used a circular saw - fast, straight cuts.

you all should feel grateful tools have come a long way .

There’s battery metal shears. Dewalt has had multiple ones out for years.

arthritic carpal tunnel has entered the chat

Now cleaning those chips.

Always remember to start on one side of your line and finish on the other that way you don't have to account for the kerf of the blade because its wonky as fuck anyway

Nibblers are great....they also make 3 million tiny sharp pieces that find their way into your clothes and skin.

The proper blade on a skilsaw is way better and you can even cut a whole stack at a time. But nibblers are cute too..

I swear I felt some swarf go into my eye watching this video

Tinny metal knives all over the place after the nibbler

I do commercial AC and I love the m12 compared to our 18v makita nibbler

Futurama made a dad gum tin cutter yall

"Its way faster too." That's why you just skeeted through it and made an inferior cut...

Take a circular plywood saw blade, flip it backwards on saw and it will beat both of them.

The little black bag catches them all.

Actually the snip cut looked cleaner to me.

Cut small length wise sections first. The tin will just fall off in sections instead of staying in one long piece. The tin won’t get in the way of the cutters.

Now do it with a vintage pair of Metal Masters.

Nibblers are prone to jamming, and when they do, it takes a lot of effort and time to unjam. Electric metal shears are better, and leave a much cleaner cut.

Don't let a rabbi near one

I have a manual nibbler for electronics

Jig saw always did fine by me, aside from being loud as hell.

I use a grinder wheel on my saw

I would use a skill saw with a metal blade

Yes please

Nibblers will cause edges to rust while snips do not.

You could put the cut off pieces on the truck.

That works good for cutting one. I used to build self storage units when I was younger I cut 40 at one time we just did it with a chopsaw but we use tin snips left right centers they’re usually use for stuff that’s going to be hidden so you don’t have to worry about that bite each time you squeeze

Do diagonal cut over ribs with nibbler

Yeah both of those completely relied on the user for straightness..... like maybe cleaner....

Don't look to close to that cut. Power shears are way better for that.

Okay Dr Zoidberg

20 volt grinder with cutting disc, I can cut the line out.

“Tin snips”? Never heard that. I’ve always known them as “aviation snips”, but they make metal shears for cutting a metal roof with.

Grinders don’tt leave sharp little chips everywhere that get stick in your dog’s feet

I think the snips cut it faster for sure. Maybe ik tripping.

Well goes to show if you got enough work to justify there is a right tool out there.

Use saw with cutting wheel

Use a death wheel! Angle grinder.

Because a cutter wheel is to hard 😉

He loses his voice because it's so loud. The tin snips are good, and you are good. Try using the green pair and cut back towards yourself. It's an easier cut to make too.

Cutting by hand was proven to be best 👌

Dude... You can clip the tin one time and rip it straight by hand lol

I mean they didn’t look much different to me, but of course the nibbler much faster

They used to call me the nibbler in high school

Nibblers leave 10 million metal shavings.. snips never run out of batteries..both work well
