  • Love it!
Color: Multi
Perfect addition to my tool set. I have the bigger angle grinder for big jobs but this little guy is so easy to handle with its compact size and light weight easy to get into small spaces. I have already used it several times in the past week while remodeling my house. Fair price and easy tool for so many jobs. ... 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

  • Better than I Expected
Color: Multi
This is a powerful little cutoff tool. It's a mini-beast with a lot of guts for its size. It's very easy to control, and I'm always surprised at how easy it is to make a straight, fast, accurate cut. I love the reverse feature; it really helps in confined areas to control direction of sparks and swarf. It's a little battery hungry, but not annoying for the power and speed you get. I wish it had speed control... or maybe not Maybe DeWalt has a good reason for not including it. (probably because higher RPM is better). 5 stars, highly recommended, with no real complaints. ... 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

  • 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
