Cordless Cement Board Cutter, 20V Max Battery Powered Hardie Board Cutter for Fiber Cement Siding, Tile Backer Board with 360 Degree Swivel Head, 4.0 AH Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger

Yeah this is good metal shearing tool for the money.The build quality is just as good as the Dewalt or Milwaukee. If you ask me for my opinion you’re just waisting your money buy purchasing those more expensive brands. Truth be told they are probably made in the same production plant. I just went downstairs and found a old license and it sliced right through it just like butter. Now I wanna emphasize that this metal shear is only made for “light duty”. Like ductwork, you know guys that cut metal to make ductwork for new homes. Now if you’re hoping to cut 1/4 plate steel, this is not the tool that you need. I think a lot guy’s buy stuff like this hoping to cut thick ass metal and then they get pissed when it won’t work. Well listen if you wanna cut thick stuff then you should probably get a jigsaw with a high temperature metal cutting blade or use cutting torches or a plasma cutter. It’s called being realistic about what you expect from your tools. This metal shear is no different than any other tool, it’s only meant to do so much and that’s it. If you actually break the little nibbler on this metal shear, then you’re trying to cut to thick of metal. Also if you want to buy a cordless battery powered power tool then expect to pay three times as much it. Now you can buy a metal shear at Harbor Freight somewhere what this costs, but then you have to purchase the battery and then the charger separately. So when you get through buy that stuff you are at $130 to $150 bucks. And you can do whatever floats your boat, it’s your money do whatever you want. But the purpose of my review is that this metal shear is old school and you have to plug it in, but it will do the same thing as those more expensive brands and it won’t break the bank if you know what I mean. And mind you that this is for light metal work. If you try to cut thick stuff then you’re only going to get upset and frustrated.

This tool is great for cutting up cardboard boxes!

Bought this in December 2023. (t is now March 2024 and I first used it and it surprised me how easy it was to use. It took very little force to start the cut and the angle of the tool and the weight of the battery are just right to aid in the cut. What also surprised me was to lack of dust blowing around as I was cutting the Hardie Plank lap siding. I used it to cut two 12 foot starter strips and I have one more to go. It was so easy and didn't generate any breathable dust. Simply wear an industrial style molded synthetic dust mask (N95 or equal) and safety glasses with side shields.If you are looking for a more reasonably priced too, this is a good one. This is the first tool I have ever used that cuts fiber cement siding and I am really pleased that it works as advertised. I also had a very good buying experience.Will have to see if I can get metal cutting blades for this tool.

Had to cut old metal roofing to make a barrier for my garden to prevent the water run off from washing all of my soil away and this little cutter is one amazing cutter.

Not used yet but thought it would be helpful when we put on a new metal roof. Also bought extra blades and an attachment since it is for a big job.

Doesn't work hardly at all. Will sometimes cut easy then all of sudden just stop cutting. Always trying to run off at an angle. The one I received WAS NOT variable speed.UPDATE: Even though I threw it in the trash bin they did give me a full refund.

I have owned another shears from harbor freight lasted many years. This is heavy duty, ok but the trigger switch sticks, does not turn off often.

Nice tool. It’s a little bit heavy..

Tool was slow to arrive. Took several weeks. It feels solid/heavy. It cuts 29 gauge metal roofing easily along straight flat panel parts. It REALLY struggles to cut across panel ribs without either crushing the rib, or scraping off paint. Rotating the head is a bit of a chore...you need to loosen 3 Allen screws to do so, it’s not something you can easily do part way through a cut! Also, the package was missing the replacement blades when it arrived. Final thought: this will save my forearms when I have to rip a 16’ roofing panel, but won’t really help with cross cuts. For a $100 bucks...maybe worth it?

Worked great until the blade broke. The blade was cast metal, which surprised me. I got tired of calling them , leaving messages and texts to not have a reply to a warranty issue of a broken blade. As my return date for a full refund approached I understood their strategy of delaying a response. Instead of them just sending me a new blade I returned the whole product.

Waist of time and money just spend the extra and buy a reputable brand and save yourself the headache.
