Our take on the DEWALT 20V MAX XR Brushless Cordless Drywall Cut-Out Tool (Tool Only)

The DCE555B is a cordless rotary cut-out tool built for drywall and panel work. Its brushless motor spins at 26,000 rpm, and a tool-free collet lets you swap bits without a wrench. It is compact and light, with a forward-mounted switch and an LED, so it suits pros cutting outlets and openings on finished walls. Against corded cut-out tools it trades unlimited runtime for freedom from an outlet; against DEWALT's older 20V cut-out tool it adds brushless efficiency and faster bit changes. Owners rate it well but note it is sold as a bare tool and that the single speed demands a light hand.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a battery?
No. It is a bare tool, so you need a DEWALT 20V MAX battery and charger, which are sold separately.
