Gentlemen
There is another supplier of a similar tool.

http://www.adelnibbler.com/Purchase_The_Adel_Nibbling_Tool.htm

I have three of these and they are in constant use.

I received two as presents for my 21 Birthday!! (44Years ago) and
they are still in use today.

Would highly recommend them. The have done an enormous amount of work.

The price has fallen. They cost double what they are today and that
was in 1960's dollars.
