Looking to buy one of the above in the UK, cannot find a source.

Thanks Tony,
The type that RS sells used to be called a Monex ?? or a similar word I
cann't remember.I used to have one of each pre retirement and the Monex
type was useless but the Klein type was brilliant for trimming small
rectangular shaped holes in thin sheet metal panels.

I have one of the RS one's and it's only really any use for roughing out. The
klein one looks like it is designed to 'punch' rather than 'shear', and *I*
would be interested in finding a source as well. I have one of the ratched
punches, but you can't get ready folded boxes under that, and currently I end up
attacking them with a drill and file :(
I really am getting pissed off with Google, MSN, Ask and the rest. 95% 'noise'
just makes it useless. I actually had a spam phonecall from the UK google sales
people trying to get me to 'improve my rating' by paying for advertising. I told
them - when they "provide something that works ring me back" ;) Main problem is
that the 'UK' filter is a waste of screen space!
Google is getting a real pain however doesn't seem to be an alternative.
I second your UK filter sentiments, it just does not work.
I think I've found a source for the nibbler or at least something
similar, but expensive.

Don - I've just bought one from the US - via fleebay ... £24 all in but I've got
three controller boxes to make this month .....
I have a similar nibbler to this one purchased from RDG. It is an
excellent tool for cutting sheet metal and priced at only £16.60 +
vat. Look up www.rdgtools.co.uk ref 741. RDG also has an electric
nibbler that will cut up to 3 mm steel (ref 98532). This is a self
contained unit but is rather expensive at around £100.

Yes, it is a nibbler rather than the Monodex thing which is more of a
shears, it depends how easy it is to use, I know the Klein one and it
fits into the hand very well, but this is cheap so I may try it.
Thanks
Don
Thanks for all the advice, suggestion etc. Decided in the end to follow
Lester Caine's lead and ordered one from the states via Fleabay.
An interesting little occurence during the ordering process; when I
pressed the "buy now" button a red panel came up saying to the effect
that I wouldn't be allowed to buy a weapon from the states. I noticed
that the advert from that particular site mentioned that the nibbler
came complete with "blade", I assume that the word "blade" must have
triggered the cancellation of the order and the red panel warning.
Ordering same tool from another site which didn't have the word "blade"
in it proceeded normally.
Cheers
Don
