The Malco TurboShear convert your power drill to a power shears. To operate this time-saving tool, simply insert the TurboShear directly into any 3/8-inch chuck of a standard 1,200 RPM A/C or cordless drill. This rugged but inexpressive accessory cuts straight and to the left. It makes fast cuts in sheet metal and is capable of navigating tight curved patterns and squares in heavy 20-gauge galvanized steel. Blind cuts require only a 1/2-inch starting hole. Cutting applications include both ferrous and non-ferrous sheet metals, metal roofing/building panels, vinyl, steel mesh, duct work, even the thick metal of furnace jackets, equipment enclosures or automotive body panels. An offset design keeps both hands away from work surface. The long-wearing hardened jaws are also replaceable.

Malco TS1 Turbo Shear 20 Gauge Capacity Sheet Metal Cutting Attachment for 3/8-Inch Drills
I purchased this for my dad, for a father's day gift. I must admit that he's been in the heating and air-conditioning business for over 25years and all the stress on fatigue on my dad's hands from manual labor has been tough on him.
This took is pretty simple to use, you just get a drill electric or battery operated and just hook the sucker up. Take a screwdriver hammer a hole in so you can get the shear lips inside the hole and pull the trigger on your drill! It cut's thought most sheet metal type materials with ease, but the only difficult thing this won't do is sharp 90 degree turns so beware of that. On straight cuts this does wonders!
If you are in the industry I would say this is a no brainer :)

| There isn't a product on the market more effective for the money than this. One often finds himself without power having to rely only on your snips. Anyone who has had to cut dowm a large piece of duct work or cut a big take-off into 22ga. or heavier with snips knows about the burning forearms. If you have these situations to deal with, don't wait, I promise it's the best $40 you'll ever spend. |

This cutter works as good or better than most electric type cutters I have purchaced. One side of the cut scars the metal though, which is ok because I only use it for cuts in which the metal will be covered by trim pieces. It also is fairly easy over high ribs partly because you can rotate your drill left or right. Well worth the price

This tool is great for cutting sheet metal without adding another expensive dedicated tool to your collection. These shears cut through sheet metal like a hot knife through butter.
I had a small sheet metal project that required shears. I couldn't find any in town to rent and couldn't justify buying a dedicated tool since I had no future sheet metal plans.
I was concerned about prior reviews' mention of a 'good' and a 'bad' side of the cut. However, if you float both sides of the metal (the drill + attachment require two hands to operate, so it's best to have multiple people), the 'bad' side doesn't get nicked and wavy. I had to experiment a bit.
I do wish there was a way to lock it in position to the drill so it could be used one-handed, but it looks like Malco makes a drill clamp assembly for that. All in all, this is a great money-saving, space-efficient way to have electric sheet metal shears. |
