I have this and absolutely love it for cutting FRP. Straight and fast. I used to use double cuts but these shears work much faster. I just leave it on an old impact permanently. Definitely worth the money.
Man, I used to do custom aluminum gutters, siding & flashing for about 6 years and this would have been an essential accessory to have. Companies are really coming out with some innovative tools and accessories just in the last few years, I would have used this daily.
I bought this shear attachment to break down old metal roofing. It easily sliced through everything. I will say that it's got a learner's curve for how to manipulate the longer metal pieces and the tool itself, to keep the cut going continuously. For the price and the time saved it was definitely worth it for me. Smart thinking by DeWalt. This will save you a headache and your hands will thank you.
I’m a metal roofing contractor and the attachment is a must for clean cuts, especially valley end cuts that are visible to the public. Haven’t used the new Dewalt attachment but look forward to trying one out
I work in HVAC and cut ductwork everyday. I have about 3 different versions from different brands with my favorite being from malco. Has a separate handle for you to hold on to so you can guide it better, get more leverage and most importantly can twist the drill around while keeping the cutters in the same orientation to get into tight places. That dewalt version looks to me like its more for occasional or just straight cuts due it design. Seems great for the small cuts you did but anything more and I would get one with a handle.
Bought a cutter from the competition and let me be clear, you need this one. I needed to cut wire fence many times and was slaving away for four hours with just metal shears. Got this beauty and it is a game changer!
You can also buy a dedicated DeWalt shears I use to have the 14.4v version years ago what a time saver that was and fatigue I got carpal tunnel from work my boss has one I might get one of maybe he can get me one on business discounts course I'll have to pay for it but he saves up to $15 if he buys tools in bulk maybe his next order I'll ask him if he could throw it in there explain that it will make my job more productive and I will not need to borrow his I do have had snips
Any tool that makes you more productive is a good tool. This thing will let you make adjustments on the spot if you have a dumbass making cuts for you. Just saying lol
Wow Vince, I never knew that attachment existed. Now I can use my old DeWalt DC826 to cut some sheet metal and replace my Ingersol Rand pneumatic metal shear with it. Thanks for enlightening us with this new DeWalt attachment. You just sold me on this. Cheers!
Thanks for the video Vince. I don't have that DeWalt attachment however I do have two different Malco drill attachments when is the Malco ts1 the other is the Malco tscm. The ts1 is Turbo shear first edition this is for your run-of-the-mill sheet metal and the tscm is Turbo Shear corrugated metal. Both are top-notch high quality tools. I have been running both of them for years ,and when I say years yeah I'm talking since I first started air conditioning back in 1999 is when I first got the ts1.. I got the tscm some years later. I highly recommend both malco products. although just the ts1 by itself is highly versatile and can also do the corrugated metal , just not as effectively meaning it is little more difficult than the dedicated tool but for Sheet Metal work it is top-notch. Malco makes a version of the ts1 that is very similar almost identical to that DeWalt that you have. I don't know the model because I don't have it but I've seen it and I have used it and to tell you the truth I don't like it as much as the ts1. I find it somewhat limiting in usefulness and efficiency because of the fact that it does not swivel independently of the drill or impact that is attached to.
I've been using these for years to cute frp ( fiberglass reinforced plastic ) and absolutely love the things. I would definitely recommend using a screw gun instead of a drill, because drills generally don't have the rpms of screw guns. Awesome tool!
Weird. I have two metal stud garages to build this summer. Talked a lot about them today. Came home, to find this at the top of my TH-cam feed. 5 minutes in, I’m on Amazon, and ordered this.
You Had Me Befor Bou That Cutter Has Got to Be ONE OF THE BEST TOOLS EVER & I Told 6 people Before I Finished The Video THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU 👍👍👍👍👍
I've seen this at lowes and always wondered if it would work well. Thanks so much for testing it out for us Vince! VCG Rocks! I often have to deal with trimming metal roofing for gazebos and this is the ticket!
I have this and put metal roofing on my 3 season room walls and ceiling. Works awesome for all flat cuts. No sparks used grinder on everything else with metal cut off disk. Fits on flex tools great. 40 bucks amazing tool.
FR after 2 cringe in the same video I had to stop watching. Did you spot the grabbing the tip with 1 hand while the other is on the trigger, battery in, ? lol
I just showed this to a coworker who does stock car racing in his freetime. Hes so happy to not have to sheer panels by hand anymore. Love the video Vince!
It's a turbo shear . Malco tools make something similar to this without all the attachments. They are around $60/80 . Most HVAC supply houses sell them .
I just finished a job with this tool and it cut my cutting time in half of better. I wasn't sold when I seen it initially. But it proved it's worth to go in my toolbox. I used it on my Makita Drill. The Makita as you know, has 2 gears. In 2nd, it was plenty fast enough. Would rip through it with an impact, I didn't try though. I used it to cut roofing metal. It cuts straight as you let it, in the ribs can be tricky but you get used to it. I wouldn't recommend speeding through it. Even though it will.
1st time on your channel, There is also a chisel bit sold at stored like- Lowe's, Rural King & etc it is within a chisel bit set meant for Pneumatic air guns- a air hammer. It's a chisel that has a split in the middle & it cuts sheet metal very well! I have been meaning to buy it & the item within this video because, when it comes to working metal, more options is always better!!! Plus, I love tools!!!
This attachments been out for a while it's true there's another Brand cost twice as much then this I never owed but seen videos of instead of clamping on the bottom of the battery it goes in the back of the tool like a drill of impact driver dewat version is really simple
I've had that attachment for quite a longtime. I feel silly that I didn't think to use it on my current remodelling project, when I had to shorten an air return in the basement
Gotta give you props Vince this was a cool attachment. I remember cutting lath with a grinder all the sparks hitting me in the face, not cool burns and stings and this will take all the sting cutting lath.
I've been aware of this and similar attachments I've seen in stores and have always been curious about their use. Thanks for showing us. Looks pretty useful.
Picked up one on amazon for $37 last week. Been ripping steel barn siding with it. Not too shabby, not quite as good as the one my uncle has, can’t tell you the brand anymore, but beats the hell out of running tin snips across a 3’ piece of siding.
I have that same tool, but not an attachment. The actual designated single cut Dewalt shear. The DCS496B. Great tool. Work horse. I’ve had it for 4 years now and still going strong. May need some blades soon. That’s all.
I do hvac and have the turbo sheer i got at home depot for 45 bucks 5 years ago i honestly dont use it that much. I do residential. Whats the price you paid?
@vcg construction, I just learned about this tool this week... not because of this video but because I was helping my mom install a metal roof on her cabin... I will say, this saved hours of work... if we didn't find this at the local big box store, we would have had to use tin snips... or maybe a rip saw.... but honestly, I wouldn't want to use a rip saw because they have chickens and ducks and other animals that would have loved to taste the metal. Worked like a charm.
Anyone else find it odd that this isn’t compatible w/ DeWalt’s own DCF887 impact, Hmm....wondering as to why🤣🤣 Also, Vince, when you said item/model number is DWASHRIR....I was like, “HUH”...he’s making it up or playing a joke on us all. Well, I guess not😉. Knew these types of tools/attachments existed, but didn’t know DeWalt made some for their tools; which means, I’m in that 99% of ppl that didn’t know this existed till now😅. Thx for sharing your wondrous knowledge with us all 👍🏻(not being facetious) Cheers✌🏻
It is compatible with the DCF887. Just because it's not explicitly listed, doesn't mean it's not compatible. They can't list every single screw gun that is compatible with.
Andrew Delashaw Yes I know this, lol....was just playing with 887.....but the 885 & 886 or on there which I believe were released after 887, least 885 was?....... But yes, it does state on DeWalt’s website that this: “Works with most 18V-20V impact driver and drill tool brands” (direct from the site)..... Cheers✌🏻
Malco has had them out for 15 years. $50 bucks and metal housing. Tend not to work with the impact (clutch slips). Cordless drill is perfect. Offset jaws, so they're great for cutting pretty small circles. P.S. Also got a nibbler from amazon (same 1/4 in. Drive) that works damn good. $35.
that DWASHRIR can be translated to "DW" standing for DeWalt, "A" standing for attachment, "SHR" standing for sheer, and "IR" standing for impact ready. they don't use those "codes" for nothing... there is also make a FAR better tool for cutting sheet metal and the like, they're called "nibblers" and you can do FAR more than you can with a sheer!
Nice code breakdown. Nibblers are slow, detail cutters and most other powered shears are the loose, double cutting kind for speed that can't do edges and corners well, if at all, so these have their place, kind of an in-between tool.
I just bought the dedicated nipper from milwaukee. It is angled for easier use by being able to actually hold the tool behind the cut and move it forward. It also has dual blades on the outside and one center for less twisting or bending sideways in the cut. The one I got is also rated for heavier cutting 14ga? They also have a special version unit for curved cutting which has a different blade design. Specialized design yields better results and performance for its intended performance. You get what you pay for. I also do not have to take it on and off if I want to use the drill/driver for something else. This add on unit is probably more prone to breakage. I also would think the larger blade opening and curved blades might be more prone to vibration and kickback vs the smaller blade gap on mine which then uses a higher speed blade action to yield the same overall cutting speed.
obviously you're going to have the variable speeds with a drill so you think it would work better but you can actually burn it out faster and the impact can take more of a beating from using a metal shears and cutting thicker gauges
@@truckloadofrhymes1 this is not my opinion its with actual experience, been using it for 3 months now daily and the drill has worked substantially better.
I’d say the Same thing in my personal experience 2+ years I’ve had this thing drill just does it better the impact doesn’t feel right and just doesn’t work as good
Also I’m an iron worker with 6 years experience. These nibblers get in spots shears ain’t going. And as I said with the variable speed impact you can go fast for efficiency or slow for nice tight cuts.
As someone who does a lot of framing with metal studs I’m very interested. This would work great especially for cutting metal studs off where someone wants a door somewhere in an existing wall. Also would work great when you only have to cut a handful of studs and don’t feel like dragging a heavy ass chop saw in for that few of cuts.
I'm a framer as well, this attachment is more for quick house work tbh, just get yourself a pair of electric shears for the site, which is what this attachment is emulating
I seen one of them the other day and I thought it was the coolest thing I was on the job with my old man and we both were like amazed the amish were using it
I use these for metal roofing on 27 gauge metal, but we always rotate it so you hold the drill upside down so the weight of the battery is on top, makes it a little easier

Another high-quality Malco sheet metal drill attachment that I absolutely love actually I have two of them there two different sizes it is the Malco hc1 and hc2 basically the hc1 goes up to a 12 inch circle can THC to will cut a hole up to 20 in
@@xenonram you doubt what is made by Malco the hc1 and hc2 are definitely made by Malco , so is the other two tools that are mentioned the ts1 and the tscm
I've got one of these, but it's used for cutting FC, stuff like soffit. Malco makes it, it beats using a saw or a grinder. It makes it so much faster, highly recommend.
@@dh66 they both have their pros and cons, but this thing was a life saver when I was installing all the metal roofing and wall sheeting on a three story shop. I could cut pieces to size while I was in the scissor lift, and not have to worry about air lines or anything.
When you snip metal all day, you never realize how strong your grip gets until you shake someones hand and they proceed to try and squeeze harder themselves haha. Tinner life
I opened every one of my kids Christmas gifts on Christmas morning with one of these. Then I trimmed the (fake) Christmas tree with it. Then I went over the neighbors house and asked them "hey do you guys need anything sheared off over here?". I was like a mad man I just couldn't stop shearing. I ended up in shearing anonymous. 3 months now shear free now.
I bought an “addition” tool for my 20V DeWalt ish ….it’s the “collated screw strip attachment” like the “quick drive system”. Have u heard of it or seen it in use?
I wish he showed a close up of how clean the cuts were once he got used to it. I'd like to use it on automotive sheet metal, but it'd be more useful if it doesn't maim the panels while it cuts
I use a tool I call a nibbler, it's basically a hole punch which presses out lots of little half moons (they are sharp and horrible put a magnetic on the metal near the cut, top tip), it leaves a really good edge and doesn't deform the metal at all and it makes great corners...👍👌👍 Mine is air powered!
@@Winglessflight97 they are amazing honestly I can't recommend one enough, but remember the magnet thing especially if you have animals around the workshop! Av fun bud....👍👌👍
atta guy!! indulge that curiousity to the level of need, even if it's only a want to see. or Buy it at Wal-Mart w a credit card, use it till the curiousity is fufilled & return it the next day for a full refund. 😉
I'm a union carpenter and I do metal studs and we use metal shears for heavy gauge flat metal all the time but there's definitely a difference between shears and this attachment.... This attachment design seems to be more like tin snips which is a good thing for cutting metal studs... I think I'll buy me one and try it out
I will be honest I've almost bought this 3-4 times because of jobs I need to cut 18 gauge. Usually my company keeps double cuts on hand but the only thing that keeps me away is no one I know uses them. Also I have to take the attachment off to fasten the material. Dunno how long the process is to attach and detach but im thinking about finally pulling the trigger instead of using old school techniques ;)
I’ve cut lots of metal with hand shears and snips but if I’d had a tool like this I’d used it in a second. Those snips gave me big strong forearms and hands when I was a young man but now that I’m older I’ve got arthritis in my hands.
@@jonathanponce3078 I'm retired now but I installed siding and roofing for 39 years as a Union Ironworker. It was all industrial construction so we had to carry quite a few tools around. I've probably worked in 2/3 of the states over the years.
I like it!!!! You almost sheared off a finger. I didn't like that part. Moma said tools are like appliances. I'm not allowed to operate appliances either. Be safe Lil buddy......
I do gutter installation and most jobs we have tear off and we have to cut the scrap gutter so it'll fit in the truck bed. This looks like an absolute godsend especially since I'll just be cutting aluminum with it.
WHAT!?! A Dewalt tool I don't own! I wish I knew about this when I was building houses for Habitat. My poor hands on siding day. Ugh! This would have been awesome and so much faster. I think I might get it for myself even though I don't NEED it but Momma loves a good tool. I get a new power tool every Mother's Day. This is making the wish list.
I run a gutter installation company. Keep one of these and a nibbler attachedment on all our trucks. We dont use it every day but when we do its a huge time saver. Much better price than the malco but not a durable.
Ive only used one of these once. I have a malco one and that thing is awesome all metal, no plastic, its more stubby and swivels more (i believe) great for tight places. I love my malco too much to make tha switch to that dewalt one. All my tools are dewalt and malco (i do hvac)
Thats actually pretty badass I cut 18 gage with my snips and it sucks but also the snips never last more than a week with 18 gage. Especially when your making those long cuts around pipes
I'm sorry I have no idea why I thought you meant manual snips lol yea malco are very good however, I just got these Dewalt shears and they seem to be well made and I do like the versatile design
Sheet metal is one of those things me as a homeowner only works on every few years when I see something where it might work as a fix or on a roof. Then I go hunt down the hand shears and usually end up slicing my hand somehow in some way and try to remember the last time I had a tetanus shot and then find out my idea didn't work anyway in terms of a sheet metal fix... So, if this ONLY makes it so I don't have to hunt down those old manual shears AND reduces the odds of me cutting my hand/finger every few years, then I'm good to go for 43 bucks. You may feel the same...when you finally bust it open... AND HEY, you get to use a power tool in a new way. Doesn't get much better than that.
@@miriamblack1285 That appears to be and adapter used with the dual energy source (battery or wallpower) flexvolt Miter saw. Apparently it is available in both US and European variants. There are no plugs...yet...on other FlexVolt tools per my understanding...
If you want to cut tin, underpinning, etc. Just take any cheap ripping circular saw blade and put it on the saw backwards. It is loud as hell when cutting, but will go through like butter.
Makes a lot of sense. All power tools have a rotational motor within them and then use gears to convert that rotation to oscilation or whatever is needed. More of these type attachments makes a lot of sense
Gonna need a Bat Belt for all these attachments now - after all the Bat Belt is black and yellow

Anyone else find it odd that this isn’t compatible w/ DeWalt’s own DCF887 impact, Hmm....wondering as to why🤣🤣
Also, Vince, when you said item/model number is DWASHRIR....I was like, “HUH”...he’s making it up or playing a joke on us all. Well, I guess not😉. Knew these types of tools/attachments existed, but didn’t know DeWalt made some for their tools; which means, I’m in that 99% of ppl that didn’t know this existed till now😅.
Thx for sharing your wondrous knowledge with us all 👍🏻(not being facetious)
Cheers✌🏻
It is compatible with the DCF887. Just because it's not explicitly listed, doesn't mean it's not compatible. They can't list every single screw gun that is compatible with.
@@xenonram also the compatibility on the packaging is usually out of date by the time in is released. That is not even exclusive to tools.
Andrew Delashaw Yes I know this, lol....was just playing with 887.....but the 885 & 886 or on there which I believe were released after 887, least 885 was?....... But yes, it does state on DeWalt’s website that this: “Works with most 18V-20V impact driver and drill tool brands” (direct from the site).....
Cheers✌🏻
Malco has had them out for 15 years. $50 bucks and metal housing. Tend not to work with the impact (clutch slips). Cordless drill is perfect. Offset jaws, so they're great for cutting pretty small circles.
P.S. Also got a nibbler from amazon (same 1/4 in. Drive) that works damn good. $35.
that DWASHRIR can be translated to "DW" standing for DeWalt, "A" standing for attachment, "SHR" standing for sheer, and "IR" standing for impact ready. they don't use those "codes" for nothing... there is also make a FAR better tool for cutting sheet metal and the like, they're called "nibblers" and you can do FAR more than you can with a sheer!
Nice code breakdown. Nibblers are slow, detail cutters and most other powered shears are the loose, double cutting kind for speed that can't do edges and corners well, if at all, so these have their place, kind of an in-between tool.
Very useful tool, saved me a lot of time on a roofing job. Used mine on the dewalt 20v driver.
Vince....Dewalt also makes a Right angle drill attachment similar to those shears
The right angle drill attachment is Awesome!! Saves me so much time and frustration all the time!!
I just bought the dedicated nipper from milwaukee. It is angled for easier use by being able to actually hold the tool behind the cut and move it forward. It also has dual blades on the outside and one center for less twisting or bending sideways in the cut. The one I got is also rated for heavier cutting 14ga? They also have a special version unit for curved cutting which has a different blade design. Specialized design yields better results and performance for its intended performance. You get what you pay for. I also do not have to take it on and off if I want to use the drill/driver for something else. This add on unit is probably more prone to breakage. I also would think the larger blade opening and curved blades might be more prone to vibration and kickback vs the smaller blade gap on mine which then uses a higher speed blade action to yield the same overall cutting speed.
The dewalt shears work very well, I've used them a lot. But I have to say, they work substantially better with a drill not an impact.
obviously you're going to have the variable speeds with a drill so you think it would work better but you can actually burn it out faster and the impact can take more of a beating from using a metal shears and cutting thicker gauges
@@truckloadofrhymes1 this is not my opinion its with actual experience, been using it for 3 months now daily and the drill has worked substantially better.
I’d say the Same thing in my personal experience 2+ years I’ve had this thing drill just does it better the impact doesn’t feel right and just doesn’t work as good
Also I’m an iron worker with 6 years experience. These nibblers get in spots shears ain’t going. And as I said with the variable speed impact you can go fast for efficiency or slow for nice tight cuts.
As someone who does a lot of framing with metal studs I’m very interested. This would work great especially for cutting metal studs off where someone wants a door somewhere in an existing wall. Also would work great when you only have to cut a handful of studs and don’t feel like dragging a heavy ass chop saw in for that few of cuts.
I'm a framer as well, this attachment is more for quick house work tbh, just get yourself a pair of electric shears for the site, which is what this attachment is emulating
I seen one of them the other day and I thought it was the coolest thing I was on the job with my old man and we both were like amazed the amish were using it
I use these for metal roofing on 27 gauge metal, but we always rotate it so you hold the drill upside down so the weight of the battery is on top, makes it a little easier
As a retired tin knocker that could save me time building stuff for my grandchildren.

Another high-quality Malco sheet metal drill attachment that I absolutely love actually I have two of them there two different sizes it is the Malco hc1 and hc2 basically the hc1 goes up to a 12 inch circle can THC to will cut a hole up to 20 in
I doubt it's made by Malco.
@@xenonram you doubt what is made by Malco the hc1 and hc2 are definitely made by Malco , so is the other two tools that are mentioned the ts1 and the tscm
I've got one of these, but it's used for cutting FC, stuff like soffit. Malco makes it, it beats using a saw or a grinder. It makes it so much faster, highly recommend.
Grinder wheel does work, but dang does this tool work wonders!! Turns a metal roofing job into a quick and easier job
Standard air shears are faster and more durable, plus you can sharpen the blades, better tool for that
I was going to be hanging some pro rib steel. Do you think this would work good on that?
@@dh66 they both have their pros and cons, but this thing was a life saver when I was installing all the metal roofing and wall sheeting on a three story shop. I could cut pieces to size while I was in the scissor lift, and not have to worry about air lines or anything.
Been using the Malco TurboShears for years and they are awesome for cutting out return holes in furnaces, cutting duct. Hand savers forsure
When you snip metal all day, you never realize how strong your grip gets until you shake someones hand and they proceed to try and squeeze harder themselves haha. Tinner life
This thing rocks, used it 2x’s on duct work and it’s paid for it self, especially shines on doing circle cuts for take offs
I opened every one of my kids Christmas gifts on Christmas morning with one of these. Then I trimmed the (fake) Christmas tree with it. Then I went over the neighbors house and asked them "hey do you guys need anything sheared off over here?". I was like a mad man I just couldn't stop shearing. I ended up in shearing anonymous. 3 months now shear free now.
joedmac78 it does look addictive. Lol
30 years as a union Tinknoker. I have a Malco brand of this tool. They work great. However just as well use snips to cut a metal stud JMO
I'm sold! A DEWALT shear?! Thanks for this video!
Looks good fast and easy. Cuts like hot knife through butter. If you need something to take with you on a job, that would be a good one to use
I was having a real depressing morning until I saw you say “DWASHRIR” 🤣🤣
You cracked me up! Thanks for a great channel!
Yo cuz glad the video helped, always remember you’re not the average beer!
I bought an “addition” tool for my 20V DeWalt ish ….it’s the “collated screw strip attachment” like the “quick drive system”. Have u heard of it or seen it in use?
I wish he showed a close up of how clean the cuts were once he got used to it. I'd like to use it on automotive sheet metal, but it'd be more useful if it doesn't maim the panels while it cuts
Just cut inside more so and use the grinder to get closer or use the grinder like a god
I use a tool I call a nibbler, it's basically a hole punch which presses out lots of little half moons (they are sharp and horrible put a magnetic on the metal near the cut, top tip), it leaves a really good edge and doesn't deform the metal at all and it makes great corners...👍👌👍
Mine is air powered!
@@EZ-D-FIANT I've heard of a nibbler, but never used one. Thanks for the idea!
@@Winglessflight97 they are amazing honestly I can't recommend one enough, but remember the magnet thing especially if you have animals around the workshop!
Av fun bud....👍👌👍
I was skeptical but thats pretty freaking cool. I wonder if it can work on gutters without messing up the paint too bad.
I have zero need for this attachment.
But I am going to buy it the next time I’m at the store.
Because what if you need it and you don't have it?
atta guy!!
indulge that curiousity to the level of need, even if it's only a want to see.
or Buy it at Wal-Mart w a credit card, use it till the curiousity is fufilled & return it the next day for a full refund. 😉
OMG!! So buying this. Thanks for showing this. Love this attachment. Plus everything I own is dewalt
Nice Keith!!
they sell power shears for metal roofs and sheet metal. I've used many times Hitachi shears
I'm a union carpenter and I do metal studs and we use metal shears for heavy gauge flat metal all the time but there's definitely a difference between shears and this attachment.... This attachment design seems to be more like tin snips which is a good thing for cutting metal studs... I think I'll buy me one and try it out
I will be honest I've almost bought this 3-4 times because of jobs I need to cut 18 gauge. Usually my company keeps double cuts on hand but the only thing that keeps me away is no one I know uses them. Also I have to take the attachment off to fasten the material. Dunno how long the process is to attach and detach but im thinking about finally pulling the trigger instead of using old school techniques ;)
I’ve cut lots of metal with hand shears and snips but if I’d had a tool like this I’d used it in a second. Those snips gave me big strong forearms and hands when I was a young man but now that I’m older I’ve got arthritis in my hands.
4 words my friend, Malco TS1 Turbo Shears
@@jonathanponce3078 How about 2 words? Fein nibbler. I've also got single cut and double cut shears.
@@flash1259 Just depends on what you do... In HVAC Malco is great for the price and durability
@@jonathanponce3078 I'm retired now but I installed siding and roofing for 39 years as a Union Ironworker. It was all industrial construction so we had to carry quite a few tools around. I've probably worked in 2/3 of the states over the years.
Awesome video brother!! Enjoyed it!! First time here!!!
I like it!!!! You almost sheared off a finger.
I didn't like that part.
Moma said tools are like appliances. I'm not allowed to operate appliances either. Be safe Lil buddy......
I do gutter installation and most jobs we have tear off and we have to cut the scrap gutter so it'll fit in the truck bed. This looks like an absolute godsend especially since I'll just be cutting aluminum with it.
Cool stuff but for very, very rough work, I'm a tinsmith and snips do just fine. Nice video buddy.
WHAT!?! A Dewalt tool I don't own! I wish I knew about this when I was building houses for Habitat. My poor hands on siding day. Ugh! This would have been awesome and so much faster. I think I might get it for myself even though I don't NEED it but Momma loves a good tool. I get a new power tool every Mother's Day. This is making the wish list.
I run a gutter installation company.
Keep one of these and a nibbler attachedment on all our trucks. We dont use it every day but when we do its a huge time saver. Much better price than the malco but not a durable.
Honestly, one of the best outros I've ever seen
🤣🤣🤦♂️
It's also badassed for trimming bushes & pruning apple trees. Nice clean cut - just paint it with tar and tree does not bleed sap till fall.
your personality is like that elder brother in family, that go to him when any one is stuck. and you be cool man no worries. :)
Weird
Ive only used one of these once. I have a malco one and that thing is awesome all metal, no plastic, its more stubby and swivels more (i believe) great for tight places. I love my malco too much to make tha switch to that dewalt one. All my tools are dewalt and malco (i do hvac)
every hvac guy knows about this thing, and we go and buy the malco one after this one breaks.
You were correct. I did not know this attachment existed. Thanks!
4:48 convinced he left that in to get me to comment but I don't care. I was like wonder how that does on fingers...
I just purchased one of these. They're universal, and fit competitor impact drivers as well.
Stumbled upon this by pure chance, you title caught my eye. Awesome video, love your personal style and enthusiasm! Keep up the great work!
Thanks dude, we appreciate it!
That Cerwin Vega! caught my eye...
Thats actually pretty badass I cut 18 gage with my snips and it sucks but also the snips never last more than a week with 18 gage. Especially when your making those long cuts around pipes
Amazing that he got through this video without needing a band-aid at a minimum.
I bought one of these a year or so ago and they work well.
It definitely nice addition to the arsenal but I love my Malcos!
Midwest are better
Didn’t know Midwest’ had a shear attachment for drills? Midwest is go to for snips but the malco shear attachment is vicious
I'm sorry I have no idea why I thought you meant manual snips lol yea malco are very good however, I just got these Dewalt shears and they seem to be well made and I do like the versatile design
Their definitely a great design and very versatile!
Malco all the way! In hvac and use for every furnace cabinet cutout.
They are extremely useful for metal roofs. Before the attachment I used an air powered pair that does the same thing.
Yo! Vince !
I got one of those last year...
AND ITS STILL IN THE PACKAGE!!!
Cant wait till I use it lol!
No way. 99% of people don't know it exist and too many people have already posted they own one :)
It works great. I bought mine back in 2018 when working with sheet metal.
Sheet metal is one of those things me as a homeowner only works on every few years when I see something where it might work as a fix or on a roof. Then I go hunt down the hand shears and usually end up slicing my hand somehow in some way and try to remember the last time I had a tetanus shot and then find out my idea didn't work anyway in terms of a sheet metal fix... So, if this ONLY makes it so I don't have to hunt down those old manual shears AND reduces the odds of me cutting my hand/finger every few years, then I'm good to go for 43 bucks. You may feel the same...when you finally bust it open... AND HEY, you get to use a power tool in a new way. Doesn't get much better than that.
Hi there , I got one question about dewalt dcb500 110v adaptor for flexvolt mitre saw , the question is that can it be used on other flexvolt tools ?
@@miriamblack1285 That appears to be and adapter used with the dual energy source (battery or wallpower) flexvolt Miter saw. Apparently it is available in both US and European variants. There are no plugs...yet...on other FlexVolt tools per my understanding...
If you want to cut tin, underpinning, etc. Just take any cheap ripping circular saw blade and put it on the saw backwards. It is loud as hell when cutting, but will go through like butter.
I havnt seen the dewalt one but saw a friend had a old model and i thought it was awsome.
Makes a lot of sense. All power tools have a rotational motor within them and then use gears to convert that rotation to oscilation or whatever is needed. More of these type attachments makes a lot of sense
