Overview
The Metabo HPT CN16SA is a corded electric nibbler with a 3.5 amp motor, rated to cut steel sheet up to 16 gauge for straight and curved cuts without the drift a drill-attachment nibbler can have.
As a dedicated powered nibbler rather than a drill attachment, the CN16SA trades portability for a steadier cut, with its own trigger and motor instead of relying on a separate drill. Listing details beyond the amp rating and gauge capacity are not published, so accessories and included parts are not confirmed.

Who it's for
Tradespeople who cut 16-gauge steel often enough to want a dedicated corded nibbler instead of a drill attachment. Less suited to anyone needing cordless portability or heavier gauge capacity.
Pros and cons
- Dedicated 3.5 amp motor, not a drill attachment

- Corded, needs an outlet nearby
- No accessory or case details listed
- No review text available despite a 4.8 rating
Performance notes
The 3.5 amp motor drives the nibbling punch continuously once triggered, which tends to hold a straighter line than a hand-fed drill attachment since the tool is not also being steered by the drill's chuck. Actual cut quality and speed on specific materials are not detailed in the available data.
