The 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 16-Gauge Nibbler (model XNJ01T) provides contractors with another 18-Volt LXT metal cutting solution. The XNJ01T is engineered for cutting corrugate metal roof decking, sheet metal, and stainless steel, and it will do the job without the cord. It is ideal for metal roofing and decking contractors, HVAC, and metal fab shop work. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. The XNJ01T is powered by a Makita-built motor that delivers 1,900 strokes-per-minute (SPM) for fast and smooth cutting. The die holder rotates 360° to meet the demands of the cutting direction, with a cutting radius of 1-3/4 in. (inner edge) and 2 in. (outer edge). When cutting, the metal chips are conveniently disposed below the cutting material, which helps prevent damage to the work surface.

Works great. Easier to use than expected.

This is a super nice tool for cutting steel roofing. It easily follows contours and will even turn 90 degree corners in rake trim. Snap-lock panels are a bit too tight for the nibler. I’ve found your still better off snipping those by hand or with a jigsaw. I’d recommend it if you’ve already invested in the Makita system and are consistently installing steel. Best part is for roof penetrations as it turns corners way easier than shears.

So far I am loving this tool.. as powerful as a corded tool, good battery life.

Great tool for cutting sheet metal or metal roofing. I had 90 feet of existing R-panel to cut across the ridges in along with a few rips along the length and I was very well pleased with the battery longevity, the speed at which it cut through the material and the noise level was acceptable
