Just a heads-up that Lidl have a mains nibbler on offer from next
Thursday. Might suit those with no compressed air supply, like me. I have an ancient Hitachi one which cost and arm an a leg used - and this is the first budget priced one I've seen. -- *Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.

Never used one but having just watched a video of it I could find it useful. I presume this is what is for sale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9UD...bricovideo.ovh with a proper British plug on it:-) How much is it? -- Adam |

Just about copes with classic radio/amplifier chassis ally. The problem I have had with powered nibblers is that the cutter is hard and brittle, I have snapped a few. So you need to be sure you can get replacements. |
