DEWALT Metal Shear/Cutter Drill Attachment, Impact Ready, 360 Degree Pivoting Head, Cuts 18GA Material (DWASHRIR)(Yellow, Black)

I needed to replace the fascia on a manufactured home. Because the dimensions were not the standard 6 or 8 inches, I had to do some 16-foot cuts down the length of the aluminum fascia so it would slip under the drip edge and sit flush with the vinyl soffit. My 64-year-old wrists were not going to enjoy that, so I figured that for the price, this was worth a shot. Boy, am I impressed. The tool fit onto my Porter Cable drill and functioned with no problems, and it literally took less than a minute per piece to cut the entire length. Since this only leaves one flat edge, I kept the scrap side to my right. It cut the aluminum like butter, and the remaining cut edge was perfect. I also used this to cut 12-inch holes in a plenum to add some cold air returns, and it worked great. The jaws do not open very far, so going over corners and bends is not so great. It also takes some effort to cut across a seam. It is not a cure-all, but for the price it is a great tool to have in your arsenal.

Very sharp cut like butter

I should have found this sooner. This is a great sheet metal cutter. Zip's around curves like a knife through butter. Little tricky on inside curves, but still better than aviation snips. Took me a minute to get the attachment angle correct, but other than that, install was a breeze. I have it an impact driver as suggested. Glad I bought a spare during the Xmas sales.

Awesome. Cut miles of tin. Every angle every circle and over every ridge cuts great. Super easy to chuck on a drill or impact. Some how sharp but won’t cut ur finger incase it gets in the way.

I bought this mainly to cut up the metal for an above ground pool, that blew down during a storm. For this purpose, it worked Great! I needed to cut almost 90 feet of sheet metal, just to dispose of it, in smaller sections. This tool is well worth the money!

Honestly do not put a lot into the bad reviews for this item. So far my experience with the DeWalt shears has been positive they cut really good, the only thing you may have to adjust the angle from the drill to the shears a few times depending on what your cutting and your position to what your cutting. I'd give this a solid 8 out of ten. Awesome product.

Works great on flat steel but super awkward to use on the ribs of steel roofing. It looked like i cut it with a chain saw! It says impact driver compatible but the driver got so hot I couldn't touch the driver. Returning it.

Was looking for better way to cut corrugated siding, came across this tool and it does not disappoint. Don't hesitate to get it for cutting roofing / siding, cutter head rotates for detail work. Recently had a job doing 2 barns and it never skipped a beat.
