Im a DIY’er who decided to put up a 30×16 lean-to off my garage. This tool was the reason it came out great.
I love these shears, they do all the work for you. I’ve used these for two years now at work and now have bought my own set.
I would recommend to family or a friend
This thing cuts flat sheet metal like butter! I haven’t cut corrugated metal yet, but on flat stock it flies through it like nothing. I am definitely happy with this purchase.
I love this tool I have an older Dewalt impact as well as many new ones but I use the old one for these Metal shears great idea. I haven’t used it that much don’t know how long it will last but I love what I see so far for the money.
I was hesitant on buying this item but glad I did, just cut 14 20″x11″ holes in 24″ spiral no problem, goes through the seam as well. Probably not the best for it but it does.
Seems weak the way it mounts but it’s fine.
A good product to have in the carry all when you don’t want sparks or a loud tool.
Best used with a drill not a impact. The impact just impacts constantly.
Used on a makita 18v drill.
Bought this for my husband as a surprise and he loves this thing. He mentions that it’s really convenient and super sharp – cuts through metal very easily. He’s very happy with this produc
Cut a tin roof like cardboard. You just have to raise and lower the jaws. Would buy agai
Make a couple of test cuts in a piece of scrap before using it on your good material. Start off slowly and guide it slowly through the material, it’s easy to get ahead of yourself. It will cut very quickly if you let it. I was using it to cut metal roofing panels and I had to be careful cutting through the ridges, sometimes cutting the ridges with a set of aviation snips. Overall very happy with my purchase.
This attachment worked really well on our impact driver. It made cutting vinyl siding very simple. I recommend it for cuts that are straight as it didn’t work well for notched areas on the siding. We also tried it on tin with great success. Overall very impressed with the functionality.
I was unsure to buy this product because I use the Milwaukee M12 impact but it fits just fine on the square 4.0 amp battery pack
Quite a bit nicer than shears or a grinder. There’s a learning curve to it bur once you find the sweet spot it goes fast. It doesn’t go over metal siding ribs very well. Lastly the brace that attaches to the impact shrinks the room left for your hand drastically.
Excellent shears very easy to use and attach to your drill or impact drill.(doesn’t have to be DeWalt). Produces very nice clean clean cuts with no burs. Doesn’t bind up when cutting, easy to cut curve’s and shapes.
Works great on flat part of sheet metal has a bit of trouble on ridges but will cut just have move tool untill it finds the right spot .overall very good .it is fast .
I love this tool. Some said that it doesn’t cut R panel. I’ve had great luck by facing the the drill upwards. That way you can cup on the upslope of the tall ribs. Just rotate the head 180 degrees and lock it down.
Yes it’s faster and easier to cut with a circular saw or grinder, but that’s a lot more dangerous. Spreading shavings at high speed towards your eyes and body.
Takes a little practice to cut straight.
When you get it going it does cut pretty well. The support bracket is a little clumsy, could have been designed a little better. But probably makes it adapt to a wider range of drills and drivers. I would definitely recommend it for a hobbyist or someone who occasionally needs to cut metal sheeting.
This tool is another great addition to my tools arsenal. Tool itself is quite small and light. How heavy or cumbersome it gets depends on the drill you attach it to. I installed it on my Bosch Drill-Driver as it is lighter and smaller than the Dewalt’s I currently own. The tool itself cuts material like butter. So smooth that it takes a little practice to stay on the lines. Beats all hand tin shears hands down.
I used this on .030 x 36″ wide corrugated metal roof panels. Metal Thickness was not an issue for shears. You do have hold the impact at a bit of an angle to navigate the high points of the corrugation. I actually believe this would work as well or better on a higher and longer corrugated pattern. There will be no issue at all cutting flat stock.
Purchased this product for cutting ceiling pans for speakers. In the past I have used tin snips and my hand would be beat up by the time I got one cut. This tool added to my drill made cutting the sheet metal like cutting paper. Extremely easy to use. Quick. Had 12 pieces of sheet metal to cut and this did that in minutes. A must have for anyone that wants small and compact sheet metal cutters. Worth the money.
I bought these sheets for a metal roofing project. First use took a little practice but they performed quite well. They cut fairly straight with practice. But I noticed my impact driver get very hot on just 16″ pass. Like much hotter than it does if I’m driving screws all day long
The knob you see in these pics is worthless! You can “tighten” it up all you want but as you try to cut it will rotate on its axis and you end up unable to cut soft butter!
SO… I placed a 3/16 hole in the body of the cutter which enabled the knob to screw into it and keep it rock solid. After this small adaptation, it worked better than I thought it would!!!
I am very pleased now!
This has been great for taking the edge of metal stud and track.
It isn’t likely to replace the nibbler for the bigger jobs, but it’s coped more than adequately on the few little tasks it’s done so far.
Great addition to my kit.
Dewalt is on to something. Drill driver attachments are the way to go. I dont need another motorized tool that weighs down my tool box.
Good product for its intended use but found the shears themselves were too small to cut across ridges on metal roof panels. Lengthwise great and perfect for vinyl siding.
I am a contractor and use this tool to cut steel siding , it works great everything I expected
eeds a bigger hole to start the cut, so make sure you have a wider step drill
am using these to cut pole barn tin with one inch deep ribs. very difficult to manuver and navigate. i found that they do work ,but are difficult to steer them. i mean this… they get the tin cut faster and easier than tin snips, but are very hard to keep cutting in a straight line while navigating the ribbed steel. i also bought a ryobi metal shears and the ryobi are easier to control.
Without ever having seen one work I took a chance and bought it. It is a real timesaver and cuts a tight circle happy with the purchase would buy agai
Nice tool but doesn’t fit the greatest on my Milwaukee 18v drill or impact. Now I understand its made by a different company so with that in mind it still works well. I wanted to use it for steel siding and works great on ripping, but will not open wide enough for the 4″ lap or nailing strip at the top. Still a nice addon for the price.
Cuts well, fits on to my Drill easily and stores pretty easily (though you’ll want to make sure you dont keep it around heavier tools for storage)
Definitely an authentic Dewalt Tool Accessory
This is a great piece. It leaves a very nice cut. It’s almost like having a handheld Beverly Shear. There is virtually no distortion along the cut line. It does tight corners very well. It does take some getting used to, to control speed, but that common with any powered shear. We’ve tried it with both a 20v drill, and a 12v drill, and the performance was very good. Very happy with i
I bought this for my boyfriend birthday ans after he tried it, fell in love with this tool! Cut easily all materials! I recommand!
Once installed on the impact driver, the shear was quick to cut and easy to make the shear follow the pattern outline. Unit easy to dismount from the impact driver.
Strong and versatile. Dewalt quality is well known and it shows here as well.
Worked best for me on long straight cuts where there was no change in the roof contour or profile. Provided a nice clean cut compared with a grinder and zip blade. Found it hard to cut across the sheet where the roofing changed pitch or profile. But worked well on long straight cuts up the sheet.
Seem well built like most Dewalt tools
Easy to fit onto impact drive
This tool works very well. Less bulky and awkward than previous versions, and yes i would buy this again.
Works well on 18 grade steel. A little tricky getting it installed on a Ryobi drill.
coup de la tole et je crois que les pointes devrais etre un peu plus longue pour pouvoir commenc a couper plus facileme
This is a great product. Used it for cutting steel on a roofing job. Really meant for dewalt. I put it on a Ryobi by using a tie wrap to secure it. Glad I bought it.
he best tool that I ever use to cut sheet metal; much better than hand snippers thanks…
This product is simply awesome. I use almost exclusively Ryobi One+ tools and it fits the impact driver perfectly, right into the holes on on the bottom of the handle. It will fit the drill/driver as well, but the support leg doesn’t clamp very securely since it’s missing those holes.
I cut some 18ga sheet metal to test and it just went through it like it was paper. Absolutely awesome. For the price I paid (caught a short price drop!) it’s an amazing deal.
I love the value for the money. And use it to cut metal roofing. Awesome asset to anybody cutting light metal. A ten out of te
Awesome for hvac, cuts fast and doesn’t mess up tin edges like you may think. Nice clean edge. Fits Makita impact drill also. Dewalt impacts fit best due to the two pin holes on each side for the bottom mount to fit as there are two small pins that fit in. However you can still tighten and make it work well enough. Great price also canadian tire wanted 160 for same unit.
This is one of the best attachments for my impact drill. It cuts through metal like butter, very easy to set up and use. Delivery time was excellent also!
It’s no for heavy gauge but nice w light gauge
Great for cutting sheet metal and so easy to use.
Great product just what I need hope I will be able to buy spare parts for it ie. Blades
I had never seen this before, saw it on YouTube. I was very surprised how easy and well this cut. So far only used on steel mesh, but I am expecting this to work on steel siding and roofing as well. Used it on my Dewalt and Mikita drivers. A surprising handy tool where normally you would use hand shears.
Le produit que j’ai recu est exactement celui que je m’attendais recevoir. Donc grande satisfaction. En magasinant j’en ai trouver d’un petit peu moins cher chez des foiurnisseurs montralais mais j’avais dj command chez amazon. Mais pas de regret pour sr.
Realy good piece of kit .I use it for cutting :7 albumin sheets took about 10 minutes to get used to it but it’s fine now
Can’t fault light time saving does exactly what you’d expect, used snips for years never go back
Nice little atachment for those days when you need to sheer some metal studs or flat band. For intensive use I would buy the dedicated tool which is more ergonomical.
Plenty of trades fellow admired it and the price poi
So obviously like all nippers it’s best for long strait runs that don’t cross the ribs of the metal roofing. How ever I found it to be pretty decent cutting across the ridges as well. I’ve used it to nip bands off pallets, hardware cloth and chicken wire. It’ll surprise you, I even cut a plastic 55 gallon drum into water troughs for my pigs. I have an older dedicated drill for it but it quickly detaches if you want to just use it as needed on your everyday drill. I think most of us use our impact driver for fastening screws these days so the drill in your kit/combo isn’t seeing allot of action anyways. I’m just a small farm/homestead and this is ideal for me.
ice product for the price. cuts smoother than i expected. i would recommend a variable speed drill or impact since u really cant go full trigger with any accuracy. starting thicker metal cuts has to b done slow as it will push itself away from cut.
my only complaint is that it is not super easy to attach to the gun youre using. it would have been easier with some type of point maybe that could someehat penetrate the rubber surround rather than find a spot.that hopefully works. other than that, i find it a perfect tool to have in your bag should you work with brake metal.
es un poco dificil al inicio, pero con la practica resulta ser bastante buena la herramienta para el corte de lamina
Only used once but Cut through metal as easy as butter, easy to use, more practise needed for cutting shapes but getting better at it.lot easier to use then tin snips.
Brought this for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift. He loves it and says it works brilliantly
I use it for cutting up computer hard drive disk, they have to be destroyed before they can leave the bank, works good for this application.
This works very well. It cuts the metal roofing in a straight line or curves with relative ease
Read the instruction sheet carefully, and mount it properly and it cuts metalwith ease
Llego muy bien el aparato esperemos q sea de buena calidad a la hora del trabajo grax
Nice and light. Works with various drills and is a little finicky finding that sweet spot to brace it on the drill. Only issue I have with it is it doesn’t cut through a drip edge or any seams… But good value otherwise.
work well, the trick is that the blade is positioned at an angle not 90 degree (not vertical) in order to cut the metal sheet effortlessly.
Took a bit to get used to. Luckily I had some scrap to practice on. Tough to get started if the edge of the metal has been folded over. The rounded edge of the metal tends to make the shear slip when starting.
One of my favorite DeWalt accessories. Leaves a smooth fine finished cut with no warping which is what I need cutting finishing aluminum pieces.
I got this for doing a steel roof It’s great for cutting flat surface but to cut over ridge and Hump not the greates
Brilliant bit of kit easy to use might be an issue with thicker sheet but served its purpose.
Dcoupe de tle pour la finition intrieur d’un garage
Trs bonne qualit d’ou
I am amazed at how fast it cut metal roofing and how straight, I’m really happy with this tool. And I want to just cut stuff now, sometimes you get a fun tool and this is one. Quality is excellent. Cut with no issues.
Great piece of kit. Cuts through sheet metal tiles with ease
Habe mir die Blechschere gekauft weil meine Druckluftbetriebene Blechschere den Geist aufgegeben hat bin sehr berrasch da die DEWALT Schere besser schneidet und ich kann damit auch besser Radien schneiden super teil DEWALT hal
Its very good at some point but I’m struggling when cutting corrugated metal roof and wall. But it did helps a lot.
A friend of mine who is a HVAC installer has one I saw him use it and loved it. So I bought one however it does state that it fits most other brands other than DeWalt. I have a Makita drill and driver the clamping system that holds the unit in place could use some improvement to adapt to other drills. Other than that this is a great the tool
Trabaja muy bien, hace que el trabajo salga ms rpido
Facile a installer ,lger , s’apporte partout , parfait pour travailler la tle.
Dont know how I have lived with out this machine
Love it; it will cut thru corrugated tin for those who want to know
Better than my knibblers, does oil can thin flat steel a bit though.
Awesome attachment, I carry a 20v impact drill and 20v straight drill works great on both (usually leave it set up on the straight drill) also works with my 18v impact. Been using it to cut a variety of sheet metal 22-26 gauge (flat stock, siding pans, coping etc). Would recommend/would buy again.
The only down side is that I had to remove it so I could drive the metal roofing screws then put it back on to cut another panel (drill was needed to pre-drill the screw hole in the metal sub-frame).
Thankfully it fit my older 18v impact gun as well.
Good for sheet metal, though doesn’t leave the cleanest cut as there’s a slight wave visible. Okay for cutting shingles… 3-tab is fine, but for architectural shingles, it would work better if the jaws opened a little wider to accommodate the laminated thickness more easily
As a Sheetmetal guy it’s a must have. Works great. Dislike is the support arm it comes with I wish it had the one that goes over the body of the drill instead of the bottom.
Very good tool. Thought it might be flimsy for a dewalt tool… But it’s the most robust of its kind.
Bought this for my father and he loves it. A lot cheaper than cordless shears and way more convenient. This is a most if you work with a lot of metal sheet.
Funciona perfecto y se ajusta a modelos al modelo mas reciente 887 sin problemas, facilita el corte de laminas.
We use this device at work, and so far have found it to be a great time saver, as well as making it much easier on the wrists, as we cut into ductwork all day long. The tool is versatile as alot of our hole requirements are in restricted areas, but the tool is adaptable to many locations.
I used this a few days ago for the first time to cut a 10 ft strip of metal off of a piece of 29g metal roof panel 10 ft long it worked good. It is easier on your hand, than using tin snips when you need to make longer cuts.
Bought it for the tin on the roof, works great but it does a have a slight ripple to the tin when it cuts but is barely noticeable .Easy to use , No running hoses to the roof . Our roofer loved them so much that he wants a one for himself.
This little dude goes through 29g corrugated wall cladding like a hot knife through butter. I wish I had this shear attachment when I built the barn! Will be using it for the wall cladding & roof metal on the new bull shelter next. Good product.
Used this on some duct… cut perfectly… can actually cut a spin in with this… used on 26 and 24 ga only so far.
Used it a couple of times and it worked great on my metal panels.
bought this as a gift , it works just as good as my 20v dewalt offset shears. if you are only cutting material off and on and not full time , these are more then worth the price.
