nibbler
Small-bite taker
A nibbler is someone or something that takes small bites: The baby is a nibbler—she never finishes a whole cracker.
Fish that nibble at bait without taking the hook are nibblers.
In metalworking, a nibbler is a tool that cuts sheet metal by removing small pieces in rapid succession, allowing curved or intricate cuts without distorting the material.
