Review on πŸ’ͺ DEWALT DCS491B: Powerful Swivel Shear for Precise Cutting Performance by James Pope

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Difficult to cut metal roof ribs

I bought these for metal roofing and siding. Super handy tool, low weight and lots of power. If you cut straight lines LONG and not on edge, they work great. Almost impossible to cut through the ribs typical of metal roofs. Also, when cutting metal for siding, you cannot make plunge cuts, e.g. B. a window in the middle of the plate. Maybe I was trying to use this tool for something it wasn't designed for. As mentioned above, it is ideal for cutting flat surfaces.

Pros
  • Backed by Dewalt 3 year limited warranty
Cons
  • Not sure
