Ill be replacing sheet metal on my car. Will this Shear handle that?

It will handle that and more with no problem , need two batteries to keep one charged.

Yes, whatever you could do with hand shears this tool will do it easier and faster. Charge your batteries first for at least 1 hour. The batteries are not included. I have the NiCad XRP batteries and they are powerful.

Yes. It is variable speed and you will have better control if you slow it down some.

I just bent a sample piece, it will do it, if properly adjusted. But if thats a thickness you will bend a lot a press brake may be a better option. I will add that I have been very happy with this brake. Its perfect for the home shop and I have done some nice work for my race car with it!

I do not know about cars, I use this for polishing brass when reloading. Sorry...

it will do the job. this is the best machette i use. it is very sharp from the manufacturer and has good weight. you will not be disappointed.

No these are just for sheet metal. I think they make shears for that. Not sure if dewalt makes them or not. Hope that helps.

yes, it's pretty pointy.... sharpen it more if you'd like. Keep in mind, this is a heavy duty tool for automotive work, not small electronics

Truthfully, best I can tell this shear is mainly tailored for snipping lightweight electronic wires, small gauge. I'm not sure how much pressure you can exert based on the hardness of the wood sticks that you are seeking to cut without the shear failing. The point is also extremely pointed and sharp. Hope this helps in your quest to locate an appropriate tool for your need. Thank you

Yes. Ive been using mine for autobody and some woodworking for a couple of years now with no problems.

Hi it will probably do it ,and there is a an other one which is also for car .company MOLD ARMOR.

Yes, make sure you get the right blade for it. If it is the thick metal plates, a standing band saw may be better though!

No. It is a very thick, tough plastic blade. It basically can't be broken by anything short of running it over with your car.

There are really two issues here. First, are the cutting tips hard enough to cut the material. If it's carbide-tipped, yes. If it's just high speed steel, you might get away with a few time. Check with Dewalt's website. The second, and more problematic issue is whether you have enough torque with your driver. There are alot of cutting teeths contacting the surface all all one. Multiply by the 2" lever arm, that's alot of torque. Cutting wood and plaster is okay. But cutting steel, that's alot of force. And a related severe problem is with the precession of the cutting point, which tend to make holding this thing difficult by hand. I used mine to cut through 3/4" thick wood. It was already wobbling a bit. With steel, it'll be a bigger problem. With a 4" diameter, it'll be worse.

This product is a bit too delicate for that type of use. Think your job would be a lot easier with a small inexpensive cut-off tool like the one sold at Harbor Freight (Chicago Electric Model #60415). It uses a 3" diameter cut-off wheel that is more durable and would do the job with no problem.

This unit will cut and fuse heavy duty seat belt webbing - down to acrylics. I dont knowhow well it works on finer synthetics, as I haven't used it for such - but I would imagine it would work fine. The only complaint I have with this product is that once the blade is installed in the unit, it will no longer fit in the storage case unless the blade is then removed.

Yes. I drilled through the floorboard of the car and used grade 8 bolts and thick washers for extra strength. It is very solid.

Oh yeah. Can't say as I have done this, but it is plenty strong. I've cut steel with this, it should do it with the appropriate blade.

As long as your cutting metal. Just make sure you secure your metal correctly.
