The DEWALT DCS494B 20V MAX Metal Shear/Cutter is a bare-tool cutter that brings portability to sheet metal work. Its 360-degree free-swivel head lets you move in tight quarters without twisting the tool body, while the double-cut design produces a clean 7/32-inch strip that curls out of the cutting area for accurate, continuous cuts. An integrated LED work light illuminates the surface, and because it runs on DEWALT 20V MAX batteries (sold separately), you can cut anywhere—no cord or air hose needed.
Keep your DCS494B cutting clean by checking the blades for wear. When you need a DCS494B blade replacement, disconnect the battery and follow the steps in the DCS494B manual or contact Workbench World support for the correct blade part. Regular blade changes and slight lubrication keep the shear operating smoothly.

The double-cut design creates a narrow 7/32-inch strip that curls up and away, so it doesn't obstruct your view of the cut. This makes it easier to follow curved lines and avoid rough edges.
For quick blade replacement, always disconnect the battery first. Remove the blade screw, lift the old blade, insert the new one, and tighten. Keep a spare set of blades in your toolbox for continuous production.
Disconnect the battery, remove the blade retaining screw, replace the blade, and retighten. Always consult the DCS494B manual for torque specs.

Yes, the swivel head rotates 360° for maximum access.
This shear is a beast. Cuts through 14 gauge like butter, and the swivel head makes it super easy to follow curves. Battery life is decent on a 5Ah battery. Wish it came with a battery though.
I use this on HVAC ducts. It's much faster than tin snips and the cut is clean. It takes a bit of practice to get a straight line, but overall a good tool.
