DeWalt DCS496 18v XR Cordless Swivel Head Offet Metal Cutting Shears
The DeWalt DCS496 is a cordless offset metal cutting shear designed for precise metalwork in both workshop and site environments. Part of the 18v XR system, this tool delivers the versatility and power that metal fabricators, roofers, and sheet metal workers require for professional cutting applications.
The offset design is engineered to negotiate curves and circular cuts with improved manoeuvrability, making it ideal for intricate metalwork where standard straight-cutting shears would struggle. The swivel head mechanism provides enhanced access in confined spaces and awkward angles, allowing you to work efficiently around obstacles and tight corners without compromising cut quality.
A variable speed trigger gives you precise control throughout each cut, while the ergonomic soft-grip handle ensures comfortable handling during extended use. The tool is compatible with all DeWalt 18v XR lithium-ion batteries and 54v XR FlexVolt batteries, integrating seamlessly into existing DeWalt cordless tool systems.

Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
