The DEWALT® V Notcher was designed with a reduced handle span, providing lower level of muscle effort required while working with tough materials. This tool is traditionally used for cutting 30- degree V shapes in sheet metal, with an easy to operate notching mechanism that gives clean cuts. It also cuts 30-degree V shapes in up to 24 Gauge galvanized steel. The tool has a slip resistant ergonomic grip and an external latch design for ease of use.
