Ed,
I have one. I've had it a little over a year but have just been making
extensive use of it within the last couple months.
It takes some practice to cut on a line but eventually you can attain fairly
good accuracy with it.
I hung an ice cream bucket underneath my bench mounted nibbler and it
catches 99% of the chips.
I cut a firewall yesterday out of 26 gauge galvanized and I cut my
instrument panel out of .063, 6061 T6.
I cut some small pieces of .032, 4130. That kind of raised hell with the
punch but it finished the job.
I just changed out the original punch and replaced it with one of the two
spares they give you with the kit.
Keep it clean of chips and sloppy with oil and I think it works pretty good.
Overall I'm happy with it but your mileage may vary.

My wife saw one of these at AirVenture and thought it would be useful for
her projects. I'd never heard of it, and seemed pricey ($180 for a nibbler
that attaches to your electric drill, plus some spare cutters.)
Anybody got any word on this?
thanks
