Best splurge decision ever!

Would Recommend

I bought this a month ago to make our coop builds a little smoother. Going from tin snips to this, totally no comparison! This things glides through tin like a knife in hot butter. I almost didn’t splurge on this and now I can’t imagine building a chicken coop without it! So much time saved and so much easier on my hands!

Disappointing Upgrade

Overall love the Dewalt offset shears, been using the 18V version for 12+ years and always been one of my favorite tools. Upgraded to the 20V version but disappointed in the tool free swivel design. There's too much play in the design and cutting straight is almost impossible, like trying to drive straight with a loose steering wheel. The older version you had to use a allen wrench to rotate the head, something I rarely need to do, but at least you could tighten the head again. This version you ...

Great tool to have in your kit

Would Recommend

I have had my DCS 496B for about six months and have to say it's great. I am a contractor and work with steel mills and processors all the time so having a tool that cuts most metals of varying gauges is a must. When I'm cropping back light gauge cold rolled steel, aluminum, tin, or stainless I give my shear a real workout. Recently I was working on a job removing damaged wraps from tin coils (bound for a can producer in Chicago) I made over 500 cuts (41 inches on 0.33 mm plastic wrapped tinplat...
