Purentatyökalu Metabo NIV 18 LTX BL 1.6

The Metabo NIV 18 LTX BL 1.6 power nibbler is a battery-operated cutting tool designed for precise sheet-metal work. With a brushless motor and a cutting speed up to 2360 strokes per minute, this cordless nibbler delivers consistent cutting performance while maintaining a compact and lightweight form factor. Weighing approximately 1.3 kg and offering a minimum cutting radius of 4 cm, the tool is suited for detailed shaping and trimming of metal panels without the constraints of a power cord.

Advantages

The cordless design provides increased mobility on job sites and in workshops, while lithium-ion battery technology ensures extended runtime and stable power output. The brushless motor improves efficiency and reduces maintenance compared with brushed alternatives. A minimum cutting radius of 4 cm and a high stroke rate allow for accurate, clean cuts in a variety of sheet-metal thicknesses. The overall lightweight construction reduces operator fatigue during prolonged use.

Suitable for

• Cutting and shaping sheet metal in automotive repair and restoration
• Trimming metal panels and HVAC ducts in installation work
• Making precise cutouts and contours in workshop fabrication
• On-site repairs where cable-free operation is required

Key specifications

• Power source: cordless, lithium-ion battery
• Motor type: brushless
• Maximum cutting speed: up to 2360 strokes per minute
• Weight: approximately 1.3 kg (tool only)
• Minimum cutting radius: 4 cm
• Designed for sheet-metal cutting and contouring

How to use

Charge a compatible lithium-ion battery before use and fit it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Secure the workpiece and mark the intended cutting line. Hold the nibbler with a firm two-handed grip, aligning the cutting head with the marked line, and start the tool. Move the tool steadily along the cutting path, allowing the nibbler to make controlled strokes; avoid forcing the tool through the material. After completing cuts, switch off the tool and allow moving parts to stop before setting it down or changing the cutting head.

Recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and hearing protection when operating the nibbler. For best battery life, follow the battery manufacturer's charging and storage guidelines, and select an appropriate battery capacity for extended jobs. When cutting complex shapes, proceed slowly to maintain control and minimize burrs; deburr cut edges as needed for the finished application.
