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.

It's true that the Astro Pneumatic Tool Company 727 Nibbler B01JBO3G2O was the Air Shears & Nibblers that we ranked the highest. Nevertheless, there were several other very premium Air Shears & Nibblers we wanted to show you here that only just missed first place.

Ingersoll-Rand is yet another major manufacturer of Shears & Nibblers. They make the tool next up on our rundown. Ingersoll-Rand's Nibblers are also top quality. It was terrific to try out the EC300. I was very satisfied using this tool!

The Ingersoll-Rand EC300 Nibbler, at $99.44 is a particularly excellent Shears & Nibbler for the price. The Ingersoll-Rand EC300 is truly a sound option. Of you are not sure about our top pick, I'd advise to choose this Shears & Nibbler.
