Ratings & Reviews for DEWALT XR 3-in 20-volt max Trigger Switch Brushless Cordless Cut-off tool

Tool doesn't work at all.

I got this tool for Christmas and opened the box to use it for the first time yesterday August 30th. The saw simple does not work. I put freshly a charged battery on it and all it did was flash the LED light like a flash bulb once, then nothing at all. If there is a safety disconnect, I can't find it and there is no mention of one in the manual. Very disappointed. This saw is completely useless. I have several Dewalt tools and consider myself a big fan.

Stopped working

Best tool to own, except mine stopped working after a year. Hopefully its a warranty fix.

Same as what others have said. I used it one time, three months later I tried it again. It would just click, light would flash for a second, and not work.

Powerful little helper!

My wife bought this for me when she found a deal and thought it would help with cutting pipe for fencing. I honestly thought it was going to be to small, but I was very wrong. This little guy made a world of difference for me. It cut straight and smooth. I was pleasantly surprised by the battery life (4ah), it worked all day. This definitely made cutting pipe for our cattle corral a whole lot easier. Great product, design and ergonomics.

Read before you buy

Don't buy this. The tool is useful but will malfunction. It will try to work but will only click. If I keep pulling the trigger, up to 15 minutes, it will work and after that it will work fine until it sits overnight. It was still under warranty and DeWalt said I'd have to pay to have fix it.

very useful

I was a bit skeptical about this tool at first but it has already paid for itself.

Worked a few times, then died

I used it for about a year, for a few small-light jobs. I want to grab it to use it the other day, and it’s dead. Just as others have reported the motor jerks the LED flickers and then nothing. I have a lot of DeWalt tools that have taken a lot of abuse and still work great. This tool obviously doesn’t get used a lot so I’m extremely disappointed how it failed. I’m not sure who Dewalt contracted to make these, but hopefully they don’t use them again.

Did a great job and easy to use.

I needed a cut off tool to do smaller jobs. Work great on the metal I was cutting.

good eqipment

works well.

Part of my DeWalt collection

Wasn't sure on how much I would use this tool. I already have three corded grinders, a cordless grinder and a die grinder but this little cut-off saw has become more useful and convenient as time goes by.

Does not work

I used right after purchase for small project. Now few months later, it does not work. Guide light blinks. Motor does turn at all. I own a large amount of Dewalt tools. I of never had any negative experience. So disappointed and feel like I was ripped off.

Use once, now it does not work

I used once, right after purchasing. I didn’t have a need to use again for almost a year, now that I have a need to use it, It won’t start. I’m so disappointed with this tool. I own an extensive amount of Dewalt tools and now to have this happen is very upsetting. I feel like I was ripped off.
