Metabo unveiled two new cordless metalworking tools just in time for the holidays. The Metabo cordless nibbler and cordless shear feature their second-generation brushless motor. The new motor allows quick and more efficient cuts on curved and straight surfaces. Metabo’s tools are the fastest cutting among their competition, with the best size-to-power ratio and slimmest grip.
Metabo Cordless Nibbler
The Metabo NIV 18 LTX BL 1.6, 18V cordless nibbler’s brushless motor provides up to 600-2,360 strokes per minute. The strokes per minute are adjusted using its speed selector. It can cut through 16-gauge mild steel, 18-gauge stainless steel, and 14-gauge aluminum. The tool cuts with a minimum curve radius of 5/8 inches. The nibbler punches small half-moon crescent-shaped pieces in metal without producing any dust or sparks. The tool’s locking switch, quick tool-less change system, and rubber-covered grip reduce downtime and boost user comfort while working on long cuts.
The nibbler is available as a bare tool (60164850) or in a kit with two 4.0 LiHD batteries, a charge, and a case (US601614400). A punch, die, and combination key are included with the tool.
Metabo Cordless Shear
The Metabo SCV 18 LTX BL 1.6, 18V shear, delivers up to 1,300-4,840 strokes per minute. The shear can manage 14-gauge aluminum or non-ferrous metals, 16-gauge carbon steel, and 18-gauge alloy/stainless steel, with a minimum curve radius of 1-9/16 inches.
The SCV includes a guard for hand protection and a rubber-covered grip to create maximum comfort, control, and safety. It also features a speed selector for adjusting the cutting speed depending on the material and a locking switch. The tool includes two blades, hexagon wrenches, and a feller gauge.
The shear is sold as a bare tool (601615850) or as a kit, including two 4.0 LiHD batteries, a charger, and a case (US601645400).
