  • Powerful little tool!
Color: Multi
Super easy to use and cuts through metal like butter!! I have been buying Dewalt products for a while now and have been very happy with all of the tools i bought!! Super light weight and can control my cut very easily. Very happy with this tool!!

  • This Tool Works!
Color: Multi
For Context, I am an engineer, expert DIYer and former home inspector/constructor. This may be the best small hand tool I have ever owned. I was skeptical about it's size and power but since I received, I have cut cement siding, cut out old steel pipe and made numerous trim cuts in wood. The size and weight make it an ideal tool when standing on a ladder or at an odd angle. The only thing you have to understand is the high rev motor doesn't have a lot of torque so you can't force the tool through the work. Just let the high rev's work for you. I highly recommend this tool as it will make jobs you used to dread easy! ... show more

  • A Must-have Tool
Color: Multi
I wish that I had access to a time machine so I could buy this sooner. It's perfect for doing tile work such as cutting small outlet squares and back-bevelling. It's also great for cutting metal trim - you're basic Rondec and Quadec stuff. And it will cut through a 2x4 in a fraction of the time that a recip saw will. And it makes the same sound as that little saw that R2D2 used to get everyone out of the Ewok net on that moon of Endor! If you're in the trades, do yourself a favor and buy one now. ... show more

  • Outstanding little cut-off tool with lots of power
Color: Multi
As advertised, brushless and compact are big pluses. And this thing has lots of power. Used it to cut out an exhaust system that needed replaced and it didn't falter at all. Used it on steel tubing with the same results. It just doesn't seem to quit. Especially like the ability to reverse the rotation to minimize the amount of debris you have to eat when working in tight quarters. I'm quite happy with the tool and would recommend it to anyone contemplating purchasing a cut-off tool. ... show more

  • Good Tool
Color: Multi
This is a good cut off tool. I would not say it’s perfect or even great. It could use more power and torque for demanding cuts. Some of the OEM Dewalt blades it comes with are marginal quality compared to other brands. For example, if you need to cut tile then I recommend using the Diablo Tile blade as it is far superior. Changing blades could be made easier with a quick attach mechanism. Overall it is a good tool and it’s comparable to similar cut off tools from top tier brands. I think they all have some room to improve though. ... show more

  • Much more capable than you would think
Color: Multi
This has replaced my angle grinder with a cutoff wheel for most smaller steel trimming & cutting jobs. It's probably safer, easier to maneuver and very easy to handle. I use this with carbide blades for 1/4" aluminum and it cuts that easily. The only issue, which is unavoidable, is the reverse rotation direction I prefer, which requires the guard to be used for operator protection. The guard blocks your view of the blade so alignment with the cut line is obscured. I have a line marked on the guard that aligns with the blade, which helps a lot. This tool isn't a necessity, but certainly makes jobs more convenient ... show more
