What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this cordless cut-off tool for its impressive power, compact lightweight design, and versatility across metal, drywall, and other materials. Many highlight its ability to handle tough jobs like cutting stainless steel and hardened locks with ease, delivering professional-grade results without bulk. Reviewers commend the sturdy build, thoughtful engineering, and ease of use in tight spaces. A common concern is limited blade availability and rapid wear of replacement blades, with several recommending diamond-coated options. A few report isolated reliability issues or visibility challenges, though most consider the tool a must-have for quick, precise cuts.

Dewalt disappoints

Would Not Recommend

I have been a 20 year Dewalt user. Never had a complain or warranty call. This cut off tool started to fail on me after 1.5 years. Light 15-20 minutes use a month. It vibrates, screams and feels like it wants to fall apart. Dewalt costumer service took nearly an hour to answer. They gave me the nearest factory service center contact (out of State) which does not answer the calls after multiple tries. Servicenet.dewalt.com is a not working official website for them as well.

Lightweight, cuts just about anything.

Would Recommend

Good tool for what it does, which is cut just about anything with a lightweight tool. Not much variety in available wheels.

poor design of guide

Would Not Recommend

OK, I was excited to get this small lightweight but powerful saw. Then I went to cut something however you cannot see the guide, Why you my ask? Well someone designed this guide that has an attachment for the dust detractor right in line with the guide. Why, why, you just ruined the use of this guide, and I feel it is unsafe without the guide. I love doing wood project however the weight of other saws are now too heavy for me to handle, I saw this one, and now I am so disappointed.
