| Shears vs. Nibblers...
Out of curiosity I took a look at Harbor Freight shears and nibblers. The shears are rated at 4 CFM of air while the nibblers are rated at a whopping 17.5 CFM of air. I would guess this is because the nibbler runs continuously more like a saw would while the shear runs on a more part time basis. For my compressor I know that I would have to stick with the shears just because of the air flow requirement.
Interestingly there may be some printing issues in the Harbor Freight catalog. The pistol grip shears are the ones that are rated at 4 CFM while the straight shears are rated at 16 CFM. So which one is right?
