I thought a Kenmore dryers body would be made of a pretty thick sheet metal. I thought it was a lot thicker than the 16 gauge max of the Lnchett nibbler. I pulled the nibbler out of the box to admire the machining. It looked pretty good. Installed it into my drill and I thought I'd just nibble out about 1/4" and see what it involved. Hit the trigger and nibble out about a 1/2" and stopped. It was neither noisy or difficult to do. So I pulled on the trigger and cut out the about 4" hole in the side of my wife's dryer as if I've done this many times before. I believe this nibbler is one of the better values out there for cutting straight as well as curves in sheet metal simply and with tons of control. It really is very simple to use and it comes packed with extra heads and tool for replacing the heads & minor user repairs. This kit also comes with the step drill bit so quite complete. The most important feature is that its safe & not very intimidating.
The Cons: I bought this tool because I needed to cut a duct hole in the side of my wife's dryer and that's it! So that is the con it is a one hit wonderful sheetmetal cutout tool with a really early involuntary retirement. Because I'm a tool pack rat I'll never sell it. Did I tell you about the cool case it comes in?
