20V MAX XR Cut Off Tool, Brushless and Compact, Bare Tool Only (DCS438B)

The DeWalt 20V MAX XR Cut-Off Tool is not just a niche specialty tool; it is a compact powerhouse that has become my most used and favorite grab-and-go device in the truck. If you are looking for a small tool that can tackle huge jobs with minimal fuss, this is it. Unmatched Versatility in a Tiny Package What makes this tool truly shine is its ability to handle virtually any material you throw at it. I’ve been blown away by its capability and have used it on countless projects: Wood: Quickly trimming down fence pickets or cutting away damaged wood sections. Tile/Concrete: Cutting intricate curves in floor tile or making shallow, precise cuts through concrete patches and mortar. Metal: Slicing through bolts, rebar, or light gauge metal sheeting. Changing blades is fast, and the small size allows you to get into places where a full-size angle grinder would never fit. Power, Portability, and Endurance Despite its small form factor, the brushless motor and XR technology deliver plenty of torque. It chews through material much faster than you’d expect. The fact that it's so compact means I rarely bother dragging out bigger, corded tools anymore. It’s always charged, always in the truck, and always ready for that unexpected cut. The convenience factor of this tool is what truly sets it apart. If you are a professional or a serious DIYer who needs reliable cutting power across multiple materials, this is a 100% essential purchase. It’s a small tool that performs like a giant. Highly recommend!

Brand new and definitely a real dewalt!! This thing is perfect for cutting and being able to handle your cuts with precision and also its good on the hands if you have and injuries also. Battery lasts awhile too. Highly recommend!!! And the price is the best around. Good job guys

Works good.

This little cutter is awesome 0 kickback. It shuts down before it will twist and snap the cutting disc. You just gotta let the tool do the work. One hand cuts are common and easy. Compared to a 4 inch grinder with no blade guard. It's balance is spot on even with a 6 ah battery. I doubt I'll ever use a 4 inch or 6 inch cut off wheel again. It blasted through a 1/4 steel plate with very little effort. Almost no vibration at the start and throughout the cut. Feels very safe. The DeWalt all metals disk it came with didn't do that great on 1/4 aluminum. It started plugging up the disk. Which is common w cutting aluminum. This thing would be perfect for using in the field. Cutting tops of posts.. whatever. Totally worth it. After using it once. I would pay double what I paid. It's that good.👍

This is a great tool. I love how ergonomic this is and can easily be operated with one hand freeing my other hand holding whatever I'm cutting. The spin direction of the saw can be changed which is great if you want to direct the debris in specific directions. I was able to cut 24 g steel baseboards with this no problem. My only complain is the dust shroud which is made of plastic. When cutting metal there are sparks that will melt shroud. The instructions state to not use the shroud when cutting metal due to the risk of melting. I wish I had known this as I purchased this tool specifically to cut metal and being able to direct the hot sparks would've been useful.

Good tool. light, balanced with plenty of power. Blade change is easy. Allen wrench for blade change stores securely on the saw. Great for times when you don't need the depth of a circular saw. I used the wood blade to successfully cut vinyl siding. As with most Dewalt tools battery life is great.

Recommend. Robust tool. Compact build. Powerful. Good design and features. Happy with. The limited cutting depth initially surprised me, But has yet to be an issue. Slowly converting all my cordless over to this line.

Nice saw I purchased it for cutting 1 inch foam insulation sheets for my pole barn . It was hard to find a blade for ply wood [which would have worked best for my application].found some blades on Amazon that are carbide so they tend to heat and burn the wood and tends to kick back more on the syrifoam board .I have to lay a straight edge down on bead board to get a straight cut. I think it's mostly the blade that's causing the kick back.the saw comes with three blades and it works great for conduit.

Highly recommended

The DEWALT DCS438B 20V MAX* XR Brushless 3-Inch Compact Cut-Off Tool is small but mighty, with so many uses around the shop, garage, and jobsite. Its compact size makes it easy to handle and maneuver in tight spaces, while still delivering plenty of power for cutting metal, tile, plastic, and more. The battery is easy to charge, and it seems to last forever between charges. I also appreciate that it’s cordless, so there’s no cord getting in the way while working. This is a very convenient and versatile tool that has quickly become one of my go-to tools for a variety of projects.

روعه وسهل الاستخدام ، ممتاز للاستخدام المنزلي ويغني عن الصاروخ الكبير

I am a diver and needed to cut many tiles both internal and external, and also for small wood pieces. I was deciding between the compact DeWalt saw and this cut off tool, in the end chose this, based on: 1. Size - this thing is super compact and light, as a result, it is very easy to control with 1 hand. 2. Saw blade - the DeWalt compact saw is also amazing, but for wood cutting mainly and the blades are limited. 3. The power - don't be fooled by the size, this little thing throws a punch and cut through tough porcelain 3cm external tiles like butter. Paired with 5Ah battery, it gets the job done. However due to the size and design, one could argue an angled grinder might be more versatile as one cutting tool to rule them all. I don't disagree. But with my usage which focused on cutting straight line with ease, this I think will be better than an angled grinder. So, happy days. Cannot wait for my next project.
