## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do i sharpen after a lot of use?**
A: The blades are replaceable. This tool cuts great. I expect that so long as I use it as it as it is designed to be used these blades will last a long time. Hope this helps.

**Q: Can these cut 18 gauge stainless steel or 16 gauge galvanized steel?**
A: CAPACITY IN STEEL: 18 GA.

**Q: Is this good for cutting steel duct?**
A: "I think if you would  cut with a 1/2" grinder all the way around, then use this tool to trim off the burrs, you would have a nice cut. I use this to make cuts for metal roof installations. I've not used it in steel duct. It is an excellent tool." (I am quoting my construction contractor husband.)

**Q: Will this also work with my 18v batteries?**
A: Dewalt makes an adapter (Dewalt DCA1820) that allows you to plug their newer 20V batteries into the older style 18V tools; (but you will need the adapter and a 20V battery starter kit (like Dewalt DCB205-2CK) so you can charge the batteries) by James Perdue HVAC contractor
