Key Features & Benefits
- Offset cutting head design — positions the tool above the sheet for better visibility of the cut line and prevents the body from dragging across the workpiece surface.
- Brushless motor at 3,500 SPM — fastest in the Makita cordless shear range, cutting through corrugated profiles quickly with less battery drain per cut.
- 360-degree rotating head with 12 stops — orient the offcut direction and maintain comfortable wrist angle through curved cuts and direction changes.
- XPT dust and moisture protection — sealed internals withstand the outdoor conditions of roofing and cladding work, including rain and metal swarf.
- LED job light with afterglow — illuminates the cut line in shadowed areas under eaves or inside roof cavities, stays lit briefly after release for repositioning.
- Lock-on button — holds the trigger engaged for long continuous cuts across full roofing sheets without hand fatigue.
When to Use This Shear
The DJS131Z is purpose-built for roofing and cladding work where the offset head keeps your sightline clear and the tool body elevated above corrugated profiles. Choose this over the straight DJS200Z when cutting curved flashings, following scribed lines on roofing sheets, or working on profiles where a straight shear head would collide with the corrugations. For thicker material over 1.3mm, step up to the DJS200Z.
