  • Best tool for the trade
Great product. We’re an HVAC company that makes our own ductwork and use this all day everyday. It’s probably used about 1,500 hours a year. We normally get about 12 months out of it. Which with the use it gets, it’s extremely durable and definitely profitable. The cutting is a lot better and more stable than the nibbler attachments. It easy to use and taking on the go. If you’re looking for a product with stability and that can stand the test of time, this is it ... show more

  • 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
