A shear or a nibbler? What will one do that the other can't? Kind of confused.** A: A nibbler can go in smaller circles and do more intricate work. A shear you will have a strip of sheet metal to deal with as you cut. I think the nibbler is better on thinner metal and shear on thicker. Hope this helps. **Q: Is there a Hard case for storage this tool** A: The one I bought through amazon did not come with a hard case **Q: Will this tool easily follow a along the edge of a plywood pattern to make repetitious shapes or along a straightedge to make perfectly straight cuts?** A: Yes, your pattern will need to be slightly smaller than you want as a finished product to compensate for the offset between the outer edge of the tool head and the cutter, AND you will need to maintain a constant relative angle. **Q: has anyone ever cut 16 ga. steel with this? 18 ga.?** A: I have cut 18ga. Very easy cuts. I feel it would handle 16 gage. ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita JN1601 16 Gauge Nibbler - Makita A-83951 Punch for JN1601 - Punch and Die for Electric Nibbler, Nibbler Replacement Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/51671848-makita-jn1601-2-240v-1-6mm-metal-nibbler](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/51671848-makita-jn1601-2-240v-1-6mm-metal-nibbler) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-01*
