Is pnumetic air powered, has sat in the bottom of the tool box for a while, when you pull the trigger is has a spindle that rotates and pushes out at the same time. Might be for some type of sir clip or rivet , NFI

I was given a compressor recently with no tools so looking at buying stuff. I've noticed all the air tool kits have something you don't need. In the end I forewent the nibbler and got the air chisel/hammer. All I wanted was a ratchet and impact driver. It would of cost me 3 times as much just to buy them on their own as to buy a kit with unneccasary accessories. Go figure.

Must say though it was kinda satisfying air chiselling through a phone book in micro seconds!

You will appreciate the nibbler and or air chisel one day. Some things just can't be done any other way

My lack of one drives me bloody mad now and then

If I had to go one, I'd get the air chisel as the bit like a fork with one tine bent up will cut nicely much like a nibbler effect

Looks like a short bright coloured tool with a small end.... Something that is useless and sits unused in the corner.

it has all the characteristics of a windsurfer.

They work really well and make lots of little moon shaped swarf, that attack and puncture bicycle tyres at every opportunity.
