What Customers Are Saying
The shear attachment is generally effective at cutting through various metal materials, with users praising its performance and ease of use. The swiveling head allows for good maneuverability. However, some users reported issues when cutting corrugated or ridged metal surfaces, as the tool struggled to cut across the ridges. A few customers also found the attachment to be smaller than expected or had trouble fitting it properly on their drills. Overall, the attachment appears to be a useful tool for many metal cutting tasks, though it may not be suitable for all types of materials.

Does not work with Kobalt Drills
Would Not RecommendDoes not work with Kobalt Drills. Tried attaching the support brace at different points with no success. Cutter seems to be a good device and probably works well with other drills, unfortunately not the ones I own :( Had to resort to hand shears.
Fantastic Tool
Would RecommendThis Shear attachment has saved my hands. The learning curve isn’t steep with this attachment, I had it down after the first 6” of corrigated sheet metal. To cut the raised ridges in sheet metal, the tool is manipulated up and across ridge the down. Another fine Dewalt tool. I would definately buy this sgain and recommend it to friends.
Overall this is a great tool for the price.
Would RecommendProduct is great. Only issue i have with this product is it doesnt cut the ribbed part of the roof metal. Have to move the drill back and forth and get it at an angle to get thought it.

Works Well
Would RecommendGreat for cutting flat metal. Struggled a little with ridges in roofing but worked if you get the angles right. Definitely beats hand shears.

Not just for sheet metal
Would RecommendI use this tool for sheet metal, metal studs, and FRP. Saves me a ton of time and simple to use. Also it can be adjusted for hard to reach angles.

Dewalt shear attachment
Would RecommendUsed it to cut 29 gage steel corrugated roofing. Cuts the flat sections like butter. You need to develop a technique to cut the corrugations. Worked well with both dewalt impact driver and drill.

excellent tool attachment
Would RecommendIt fits my fits my 887 perfectly outstanding tool for quick efficient work.
A good metal cutting solution
Would RecommendSolved my dilemma of how to cut metal roofing. I was reluctant to go the circular saw route and had too many cuts for snippers. Fit directly onto my Dewalt impact driver and did the job. Definitely take a little time for some practice cuts.

Will not cut metal roofing
Would RecommendThis item does a great job cutting when the metal is flat. It will not cut across a rib, such as on a metal roof. I purchased this item because some of the reviewer said it would cut metal roofing. Obviously, they had roofing with very small or no ribs.
Poorly designed
Would Not RecommendGreat concept, awful product. Product doesn’t tighten down to drill and is dangerous when it disengages from the drill handle.
