Shears Editorial Review

The DeWalt DCS491B is a powerful and efficient metal shear that can cut mild steel up to 18 gauge. It is not supplied with a hard case, but storage options are available with TSTAK and TOUGHSYSTEM. It is not brushless, but it can still cut through 0.090 sheet aluminum. The blade is made for shearing/cutting metal only and cannot cut other materials such as carpet or Hardie backer. Customer reviews show that the DeWalt DCS491B is an excellent tool for those working with metal sheeting, with clean and accurate cutting results. Some customers have reported issues with packaging and the cutting action creating a strip of metal approximately 3/16" wide, which can make it difficult to cut close between patterns unless they are approximately 3/8" apart. Overall, customers have found the DeWalt DCS491B to be a useful and powerful tool in the HVAC field.
