ok lets be clear- I am a real Milwaukee user and will remain one especially with the upcoming V28 release, But this Dewalt product is outstanding in every aspect.
I have musty it for about two months now and lop drywall, plywood, tile and backerboared with it. The battery life is suitable and weight and balance are outstanding. with two batteries you can litterally do drywall slit outs all day long.
Dust protection seems helpful and keyless chuck performs well.
An safe acquire.
I have been waiting years for Dewalt to earn an 18V cordless cut-out tool kit like the DC550K. It's expansive to finally have a cordless version that can consume the same charger and batteries as my other 18V tools. I bought one of these as soon as they became available online and now exhaust it almost every day on the job. Before the DC550, I was most enraged about having to inch an extension cord along when using my Roto-Zip, as this is the last holdout in a tool collection that I exhaust daily which smooth required being plugged into an outlet to operate.
I exercise the DC550 mainly to do cutouts in wood, drywall, plaster and acoustical tile for recessed lighting or electrical boxes. With a carbide burr bit, it will accomplish cutouts in ceramic wall tile, solid surface or laminate backsplashes, but of course, won't reduce harder floor tile materials. It also makes orderly, splinter free cutouts in solid wood or veneered cabinets, such as when installing an outlet for a microwave/hood over a range or outlets in kitchen island or peninsula bad cabinets. I have even aged it for cutouts in thin stainless sheet clad walls that are found in commercial kitchens, and it works well on aluminum and vinyl siding too.
Battery life is very salubrious and since the DC550K kit comes with two batteries, you can have one on charge and support going all day long. The extra length and weight the battery does produce this tool slightly less well balanced than the corded version when using it in the horizontal status, but the rubber grip location allows you to gain the tool firmly in various positions and as with anything else, the more you spend the tool, the less noticeable this imbalance becomes.
There is no bump switch on top of the tool but the push through type on/off switch sticks out far enough so you can gather at easily.
The tool-less quick-change bit holder is the same as on Dewalt's corded cut-out tool. It takes a diminutive getting outmoded to, but is remarkable better than having to expend a wrench every time you need to change a cutter bit. At 26,000 rpm's it's not as hastily as the corded version but this doesn't really seem to affect its cutting ability. Overall, I feel that the DC550 is a very respectable tool that can go along blueprint toward making your workday easier and more productive.
This tool has pleasant battery capacity and is easy to handle;
has plenty of cutting power. The only drawback is the tool fair slightly heavy.
