Achieve Clean and Precise Metal Cuts with the DEWALT 20V MAX 18-Gauge Swivel Head Shears

The DEWALT DCS491B 20V MAX* 18-Gauge Cordless Metal Shears are engineered for professional HVAC technicians, roofers, and metal fabricators who demand precision and maneuverability. Featuring a versatile 360-degree tool-free swivel head, these shears allow you to navigate tight corners and awkward angles with ease while maintaining an ergonomic grip. The tool is capable of slicing through 18-gauge mild steel and 20-gauge stainless steel at speeds up to 2,300 strokes per minute, producing a clean 7/32-inch strip that continuously curls away from the work area. This ensure a clear line of sight and prevents the material from binding, resulting in consistent, burr-free edges on every project.

Built for the modern job site, the DCS491B eliminates the need for cumbersome air hoses and power cords, providing true cordless freedom. The integrated LED work light provides superior visibility in dark crawlspaces or cabinets, ensuring your marks are always visible. Whether you are trimming metal roofing, cutting ductwork for ventilation, or fabricating custom metal components, these shears offer the power and runtime needed for high-production environments. As a bare tool, it integrates seamlessly into your existing DEWALT 20V MAX battery ecosystem, allowing you to maximize your current investment while upgrading your cutting capabilities. **Battery and charger sold separately.

Pro-Tip

Pro-Tip: To achieve the smoothest edge and longest blade life, always keep the metal sheet flat against the base of the shear head. If you are cutting along a curved line, utilize the 360-degree swivel head to position the tool body away from the material, preventing the metal from hitting the battery pack. For the cleanest results in stainless steel, consider using a light lubricant like cutting oil along your mark to reduce friction and heat buildup during fast cuts.

Worth the investment
Size: 1 Panel, Size: 1 Panel
I had to order this in an emergency. To put it in brief words, I live in a two level studio unit. My bedroom TV fell backwards off the bureau accidentally and down the stairs to its demise. Putting this together was no problem, instructions were thorough and easy. It came with several bars that connected together smoothly and an Allen key for the brackets and screws for the feet. I did one less horizontal bar on top and bottom so it could fit, which was great because with all of them on it was too long. However I ran into the difficulty of the horizontal bars popping out of the brackets during the last stages, but eventually got it done. I was also looking for a specific type of divider where I could adjust the feet so I could tuck it in between the dresser and banister. Glad I made this purchase.

You Get What You Pay For! A Piece Of Junk!
Size: 1 Panel
Flimsy and a piece of junk. Don’t waste your money. Assembly is a pain because it is so flimsy. Divider is thin. You can see right through it. Very wobbly.

Instructions are useless
Size: 1 Panel
The instructions are poorly written and not very helpful. The divider itself is easy to assemble, and honestly, it would’ve been quicker if I had skipped the directions altogether. Once put together, though, it works as intended.

This was the best
Size: 1 Panel
This divider is great for creating a little privacy or separating a small area without taking up much space. The fabric is thick enough to block visual clutter, and the frame is lightweight but stable once it’s opened. It folds flat for storage, which is convenient if you only need it occasionally. Assembly was straightforward, and it was the perfect size. It’s a practical piece for apartments, studios, or home offices where you want a quick, temporary partition.

Good privacy screen
Size: 1 Panel, Size: 1 Panel
This is a good privacy screen that's easy to assemble and looks nice. Be a little careful moving it, as the corners can twist. It's sturdy once in place, and the thick material is completely opaque. If the folds bother you, you might want to iron it, but I'm happy with it as is.
