Key Features & Benefits
- 1.6mm mild steel cutting capacity — handles standard gauge sheet metal used in HVAC ducting, automotive panels, and roofing without distortion.
- 1,900 strokes per minute — delivers fast, clean cuts through sheet material with minimal burr for less finishing work.
- 360-degree rotating die holder — allows the operator to orient the swarf discharge direction away from the workpiece and themselves.
- Slide-type on/off switch with lock-on — reduces hand fatigue during extended cutting runs across large panels.
- Anti-restart safety function — prevents the tool from starting unexpectedly when a fresh battery is inserted, with a warning lamp indicator.
- 45mm minimum inside cutting radius — tight enough for most duct cutouts and penetration work in sheet metal.
When to Use This Nibbler
The DJN161Z is the go-to for cutting sheet metal without distortion — unlike shears that can bend thin material or angle grinders that throw sparks, a nibbler punches out a narrow strip leaving both sides flat and workable. Choose this tool for HVAC duct fabrication, automotive body work, corrugated roofing cuts, and any sheet metal work up to 1.6mm mild steel where a clean, distortion-free edge matters.
