The DEWALT DCS494M2 20V MAX 14-Ga 360° Free Swivel Cordless Metal Shears Tool Kit is a cordless shear designed for HVAC installers, sheet metal fabricators, and any tradesperson who needs clean, controllable cuts without dragging a cord around the jobsite. This kit is a dependable choice for cutting 14-gauge steel and other sheet metals, with a full 360° free-swivel head that lets the tool do the turning instead of your wrists.
The 14-gauge capacity covers the majority of ductwork and metal fabrication tasks. Because the head pivots a complete 360°, you can cut circles, curves, and corners with minimal repositioning—critical for tight spaces and overhead work. Powered by the 20V MAX battery system, this shear keeps you moving from outlet-free zones and reduces the chance of cutting a cord. The kit is set up for immediate use, making it a practical addition to your tool bag.

Traditional metal shears force you to angle your wrists and arms to follow a line. The DCS494M2’s 360° free-swivel head turns independently, so you can cut in any direction while keeping your hand in a natural position. That makes long seams and intricate cuts far less tiring and more accurate.
The shear is built for sheet metal up to 14 gauge. For thinner materials, you’ll get a faster feed rate; for near-maximum thickness, move the shear steadily and let the blades do the work. Always keep the blades sharp and lubricated for clean edges and longer blade life.
It is rated for 14-gauge steel and can handle galvanized steel, aluminum, and other common sheet metals within that thickness range.
Yes, the DCS494M2 operates with any DEWALT 20V MAX battery, so you can use the ones you already own.
Absolutely. The 360° free-swivel head lets you pivot the cutting head without repositioning the whole tool, which is ideal for tight corners and curved cuts.
Cuts like a hot knife.
I'm a sheet metal worker and these shears are a lifesaver on the job. The 360 degree swivel lets me cut in any direction without twisting my wrist. They make clean, burr-free cuts in 14 gauge steel. The cordless design is fantastic—no cords to drag around. Battery life is decent, I get about a day's work on a charge. I wish it came with a spare blade, but overall very pleased.
These shears are powerful and easy to control. I used them to cut through some old ductwork. They did the job in no time.
I'm new to metalworking, but these made cutting sheet metal super easy. The swivel head is so handy. I love that there's no cord.
I've used many metal shears, corded and cordless, and these are by far the best. They cut smoothly without stalling, even on thicker steel. The swivel head allows for tight curves and intricate cuts. They're comfortable to hold for long periods. The only negative is they are a bit heavy, but you get used to it. Overall, a great investment for any HVAC guy.
Great for cutting metal.
These shears are amazing for cutting sheet metal. They're fast and precise. The battery lasts a good while.
I needed something to cut metal studs for a framing project and these did not disappoint. The cut quality is excellent, no jagged edges. The 360-degree head is incredibly convenient for cutting in tight spots. It's much easier than using tin snips. My arms don't get tired because it does the work. I'm very happy with this purchase.
Works well on 16-gauge steel. I wish it cut 14-gauge a bit faster, but it gets the job done.
So much easier than snips.
I used this for a roofing job and it saved me hours. The swivel is a game changer. Highly recommend.
My husband does HVAC and I bought these for him. He's been using them professionally for two months and swears by them. They cut clean and are very reliable. The swivel head is his favorite feature because he can cut at any angle. He also appreciates the LED light when working in dark spaces. I'm glad I spent the extra money on a quality tool.
These shears are great for automotive work. I cut through some brackets with ease. The battery lasts long enough for my projects.
Works like a charm.
