Engineered to provide full cordless independence while matching the muscle of traditional plugins, this commercial-grade power tool utilizes an advanced brushless motor that outputs the equivalent of a 700W corded tool. It allows HVAC technicians, commercial plumbers, and industrial metal fabricators to slice cleanly through thick 16-gauge steel panels, ventilation ducting, and structural flat sheet metal. By utilizing a high-efficiency single-shear blade configuration, this tool parts metal cleanly without creating spiral ribbon waste or curling the surrounding material, leaving a perfectly flat finish that is ready for instant assembly or joining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eErgonomically sculpted to fit the natural contours of the hand, the well-balanced motor chassis features an ultra-slim barrel grip layered with a non-slip, vibration-absorbing soft-grip skin. To protect both the technician and the motor assets on harsh jobsites, Bosch integrated electronic soft-start circuitry to minimize abrupt initial torque twist, along with active restart protection to prevent automatic motor ignition if a hot battery is swapped while the switch is locked on. Completed with an automated electronic overload protection system that actively guards against thermal overheating, this low-maintenance, German-engineered bare tool seamlessly upgrades your current 18V portable battery system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #004b87;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e700W Corded Performance Match:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-efficiency brushless motor delivers industrial cutting speeds and massive runtime benefits without power cords.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion-Free Single Shear Blades:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advanced single-blade configuration slices up to 16-gauge sheet metal cleanly with zero curling or material bending waste.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmart Electronic Safety Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Equipped with electronic soft start for jolt-free initial panel contacts and restart protection to prevent accidental startups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive Overload Thermal Monitor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Advanced internal safety circuits cut off high current overloads before they can cause costly permanent motor damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-Day Ergonomic Handle Balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weighing just 4.17 pounds, the lightweight and slim body profile lowers forearm fatigue during long, demanding overhead duct cuts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #004b87;\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Bosch GSC18V-16EN 18V Brushless 16-Gauge Cordless Metal Shear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) Pre-Installed Single-Shear Blade Matrix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1076\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GGsXdG_RYYM\" title=\"New Bosch 18V Nibbler | Bosch WOC 2026\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #004b87;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"481\" style=\"width: 48.6388%;
