DEWALT DW890 18 Gauge Swivel Head Electric Metal Shear, 5 Amp, Corded, Variable Speed 100-2500 SPM
The DEWALT DW890 is a corded electric 18 gauge swivel head metal shear with a powerful 5 amp all ball-bearing motor and variable speed from 100-2500 SPM. One shear is included; batteries are not required since it is corded. It cuts mild steel to 18 gauge and stainless steel to 20 gauge with a scissors-like action and 360-degree head swivel.
Key Features:
- 360° swivel head: Head swivels 360 degrees for optimum cutting convenience around the workpiece.
- Variable speed: Variable speed dial ranges from 100-350 SPM (up to 2500 SPM max) for different materials and applications.
- Clear line of sight: Cuts a 7/32 in. strip that continuously curls out of the cutting area for a clear view of the cut line.
- 5 amp motor: Powerful 5 amp, all ball-bearing motor built for long life in continuous-duty applications.
- 18 ga. steel cutting: Cuts mild steel 18 gauge and thinner, and stainless steel 20 gauge and thinner.
- Tight radius cuts: Cuts radii of 5-1/2 in. and larger.

Product Overview
A swivel head shear like the DW890 is the right pick when you need to follow curves in sheet metal, ductwork, or flashing, since the head rotates to keep your grip natural. The continuously curling chip keeps the cut line visible, which improves accuracy on layout work. For metal thicker than 18 gauge mild steel, step up to a heavier shear or a nibbler. The corded 5 amp motor suits continuous shop work better than most cordless options.
The continuously curling cut strip has sharp edges; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection, and keep hands clear of the cutting head.
