  • Excellent tool, again DeWalt delivers
Excellent tool, again DeWalt delivers, I've used on several metal roofing jobs, cuts easy, very easy to maneuver while cutting, gets into right spots easy. It will scratch the metal when cutting, so make sure the scratches either hide or go onto the cutoff material. Batteries have great life, I'm using a 4 AH battery and make many cuts with them. Great tool! ... show more

  • Best tool for the job.
These are great tools, they take some figuring out to cut trim or ribbed metal, you just have to figure out how to walk it through.I have high school shop students figure it out in a period. If you are going to do alot of work I would spend the bucks on the 6.0 Ah batteries.

  • Easy, safe and accurate
This tool is nothing short of amazing. We are a seamless gutter business. Our crews love this tool for use when working on metal roofing projects. Accuracy, easy of use, and safety perform cutting with this tool. Highly recommend.

  • Very helpful
For those metal roofers or sheet metal guys these make it much easier
Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2023 by It's good with even the safety packet and a lock n key but just note that it only has partial foam, the bottom foam is cut short to fit some miscellaneous items

  • Awesome tool for hvac technician
Lightweight makes cutting metal a breeze, I am an hvac mechanic and make a lot of custom fittings so cutting flat metal is an every day event, clean cuts and definitely a time saver
