The DeWalt DCS491 is a cordless metal shear designed for precise cutting of sheet metal in roofing, HVAC, and fabrication applications. Part of DeWalt's 18v XR platform, this lightweight tool delivers up to 2450 strokes per minute for efficient cutting through mild steel up to 1.3mm thick and stainless steel up to 1.0mm. The ergonomic D-handle features rubber overmoulding for a secure, comfortable grip when working in multiple orientations, reducing user fatigue during extended use. A variable speed trigger provides precise control over cutting speed, whilst an integrated LED worklight illuminates the cutting line in poorly lit environments such as loft spaces or plant rooms. Weighing just 1.8kg, this compact shear is ideal for overhead work and confined spaces where manoeuvrability is essential. The tool is supplied bare (body only) without battery, charger, or carry case, making it a cost-effective addition to existing DeWalt 18v XR cordless tool collections.
