Review: 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!

This tool cuts great. I expect that so long as I use it as it as it is designed to be used these blades will last a long time. Hope this helps. **Q: Can these cut 18 gauge stainless steel or 16 gauge galvanized steel?** A: CAPACITY IN STEEL: 18 GA. **Q: Is this good for cutting steel duct?** A: "I think if you would cut with a 1/2" grinder all the way around, then use this tool to trim off the burrs, you would have a nice cut. I use this to make cuts for metal roof installations. I've not used it in steel duct. It is an excellent tool." (I am quoting my construction contractor husband.) **Q: Will this also work with my 18v batteries?** A: Dewalt makes an adapter (Dewalt DCA1820) that allows you to plug their newer 20V batteries into the older style 18V tools; (but you will need the adapter and a 20V battery starter kit (like Dewalt DCB205-2CK) so you can charge the batteries) by James Perdue HVAC contractor ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent tool, again DeWalt delivers *by J***H on November 27, 2017* 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.

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 ## Frequently Bought Together - DEWALT 20V MAX Metal Shear, Offset, 18GA, Tool Only (DCS496B) - Replacement Blade for 18-Gauge Shear Cutter for Kett KIT102 and Dewalt DW890/DW891 91970-00(C), 91969-00(L), 91967-00(R), Milwaukee, Makita, Sioux, Porter Cable Shear Blades --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/35487729-dewalt-20v-max-metal-shear-offset-18ga-tool-only-dcs496b](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/35487729-dewalt-20v-max-metal-shear-offset-18ga-tool-only-dcs496b) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
