The air nibbler is indeed a fantastic tool, with one
major drawback. It makes a hell of a mess.
It basically takes a quarter inch strip of metal out
and converts it into a pile of razor-sharp crescent
shaped metal flakes. These flakes then grab onto everything
and anything and you pick them out of your shoes and
carpets and bedsheets for weeks.
If your car has carpets, nibbling inside the car is
probably a nono.
