Review: Nibbling away at my tin - Excellent and so easy to use
Review: Controllable - A good tool. Controllable for fine work and steerable as long as you dont try to turn too tight. The same guide helps keep you on line for straight runs. Quiet in operation. I use it mostly on aluminium 1 and 2mm sheet and leaves a burr-free finish.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nibbling away at my tin
*by P***N on 22 August 2025*

Excellent and so easy to use

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Controllable
*by S***C on 3 June 2022*

A good tool. Controllable for fine work and steerable as long as you dont try to turn too tight. The same guide helps keep you on line for straight runs. Quiet in operation. I use it mostly on aluminium 1 and 2mm sheet and leaves a burr-free finish.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Didn't last very long....
*by J***E on 20 October 2024*

I purchased this for work. After what I would say was mild use, it stopped working one day. I love Makita products but when I replace it, I might go elsewhere for the Nibbler to try and get something that is longer lasting.
