Great item |
|
I was cutting metal barn siding/roofing with this tool and what a blister saver! cuts like butter. I would highly recommend it. Used it on a cordless craftsman and also a dewalt corded drill |

Great Product |
|
This is an awesome tool for me. I'm an HVAC tech that has to cut metal once in a while but not very often. I loathe using hand shears and that makes this a great tool for me. It takes up little room in the van, connects to the drill easily (I've tried it on 2 types, both work great), and it does its job very well. |

Malco Turbo Shear HD Review |
I recently re-roofed my house in red metal. The roof had several complex valleys where the metal needed to be cut at various angles. The steel roofing panels were easily cut with the Malco TSHD attachment. I alternated using it between a Ryobi 18 volt battery powered electric drill and a Black & Decker 14.4 volt battery powered Fire Storm drill. Both worked equally well. The Turbo Shear attachment went through the 29 gauge steel like a knife through butter. The 3/4 inch high ribs were not a problem for the Turbo Shear attachment to cut through.
One thing I noticed was that the bottom shear jaw would scratch the metal on it's side; however, by placing the cutter on the waste side, this was eliminated. The spindle has three flats which makes it easy to tighten the battery powered drill's keyless chuck around. If you are installing metal roofing, this is a low-cost alternative to both a nibbler and power shear, plus with the freedom of going cordless.
Buy it. |

pleasantly surprised |
|
I bought the turboshear hoping it would work as described. I wanted to remove some ribbed metal roofing from the valleys on my house and replace it with flat metal. As I got into the project, It required a combination of turboshear, tin snips and attitude, due to multiple layers. The turboshear could not cut multiple layers but was able to get into pretty tight spots. It definitely made this project go a lot faster. Occasionally if I used too much force trying to get into a tight area, the brackets would slip on the drill handle. This didn't happen a lot. I definitely pushed the limits of the turboshear and was pleasantly surprised at how well it performed. |

Malco shears do well.... |
|
These scissor type power shears work very well. Mostly I work with copper sheet metal so I prefer them to the double cut models which have a strip of waste product with each cut. Previously I have always used hand snips for all long cuts, these shears save my arm from cramps. Not a perfect edge on the cut, but good enough for roofing products which I mostly do. Very beefy, not too heavy, looks like they will last forever... |
