Aside from the tools we researched above, I would take a look at the EC300 by Ingersoll-Rand and the Ridgerock Tools Inc. 30067A. Both these tool manufactures are considered two of the leading manufacturers of high quality Nibblers. Both of these two options are rated highly also. Users gave the EC300 an average score of 4.2/5 stars. Contrast that to the Ridgerock Tools Inc. 30067A that boasts an average score of 4.3/5 stars.

The Ingersoll-Rand EC300 comes with a few features you wont find on competing Nibblers. One example is Cuts up to 18 gauge steel, aluminum, plastic or other metals. The 30067A by Ridgerock Tools Inc. although, is tough to beat offering Ideal for cutting ferrous and non ferrous sheet metals, rubber and plastics without deformation of edges and able to cut curves of a minimum of 1/2" radius plus Precision heat treated gearing and lightweight aluminum housing are designed to withstand continued use at max rated output.

I wouldn't hesitate to suggest either of these Tin Nibblers

For the money, it works pretty damn good. Cuts clean and makes nice turns. Does a great job, a bonus for the money. Best of all, it didn't nibble at my budget. The Ingersoll-Rand EC300 is very well made and powerful.
