FAQs

A saw follows a line and cuts a kerf. A nibbler punches a ribbon out and turns a tight radius without distorting the panel. Shears cut fastest in a straight line. A cut-off tool grinds through where the others cannot reach.

Each tool carries its own rating and it is stated on the listing. Nibblers and shears are rated for sheet; going beyond that stalls the tool. Saws and cut-off tools handle section as well as sheet.

Shears for a straight run and nibblers for a curve. A nibbler removes a narrow ribbon rather than pushing the metal apart, which is why it leaves a panel flat where shears would distort it on a tight radius.

The cut-off tools here run 75mm discs. Air files run 5mm belts. The size is stated per tool and the consumable has to match it, since a tool will not accept a disc it was not built for.

With a mini reciprocating saw or an air file. Both put a short stroke into a space a full size saw cannot enter, and they sit on this leaf alongside the larger bodies.

Usually the blade rather than the tool. A blunt or wrong-toothed blade reads exactly like a weak saw. Blades are the consumable here and they are matched to the tool and the material.

Four ways of cutting share this leaf and they leave four different edges. A saw cuts a kerf and follows a line. A nibbler punches out a narrow ribbon, which lets it turn a tight radius without distorting the panel. Shears cut like scissors and are fastest in a straight line. A cut-off tool grinds through with a disc where the others cannot reach. Choosing between them is a decision about the edge you want to be left with, not about which tool is fastest.

Material thickness is what narrows the choice. Nibblers and shears are rated for sheet, and going beyond that rating stalls the tool rather than cutting slowly. Saws and cut-off tools handle section as well as sheet. The rating is stated per tool, so the material is measured before the tool is picked rather than after.

Blade and disc size follow. Cut-off tools here run 75mm discs, air files run 5mm belts, and reciprocating saw blades are matched to the tool that holds them. Blades are the consumable on this leaf and a blunt blade reads as an underpowered tool, which is worth knowing before a saw is judged. Sealey hold reciprocating and mini saws for bodyshop work, with air files covering the finish afterwards.

Body saws and mini reciprocating saws cover bodyshop work where the cut is short and awkward. The PCL Prestige body saw, nibbler and cut-off tools sit alongside the Sealey SA and Generation lines and the Chicago Pneumatic saws and shears. A photo of the material and the cut line over WhatsApp on 07754288583 settles which of the four is right. The Sykes 90231000 air saw sits with them for work where the cut has to be started away from an edge.
