Questions & Answers

The gutters will be cut in half with this? The gutters I install are made by me. Having to dispose of gutters and cut them so they fit in a 6ft truck bed is something I do all the time. Thank you, sir?

It is true that these would be useful for

What is the cutting capacity of this machine for round duct?

You will have to drill the lock form though, so stick drilling is required

I have a Tread plate made from aluminum 2mm thick, can I cut it with this?

That would be a good cut I think

I want to use it to cut very thin sheet (0.0) but I only have a 12 volt cordless drill. Can you tell me more about the steel (010 GA)?

to cut 29 gauge steel roof metal with an 18 volt drill, and the power of the drill didn't even come close to being challenged by the power of this tool. As a result, I think a 12 volt drill would be just fine for what you describe.

Selected User Reviews For Malco TSHD Turboshear Heavy Duty Metal Cutting Attachment Shear

Siding for pole barns is cut using this blade
5/5

The idea of using our former pole barn siding to make vegetable planter boxes is very intriguing to me. The siding on the barn had to be cut with steel tin snips or a grinding disc, as steel is not a material I could use to cut. My best deal was found through this vendor. The Malco Turbo Shear has high ratings and is available at a price I could afford. As soon as I drew my lines on the siding with the shear, I went at it. I will confess that the siding on a pole barn has humps, and that if you don't lift the siding, it will be more difficult to cut. cannot lay it flat and think that you will be able to zip right through went over the humps on grass, but I did have to lift the siding as I went over them. Even though I wasn't always walking straight, I was maintaining a straight posture when I put the veg boxes on grass since they were sitting It is a product that I recommend.

Since the invention of bread, this is THE BEST! I believe this is a must for anyone who does a lot of metal work, especially metal roofs Although it takes you a few times to perfect using them on a piece of scrap metal if you have never done so, I will admit that it is faster to apply the technique on a larger piece
5/5

It is safe to say that you advocate saving both your time and hands by using hand shears, metal snips, etc. In 1997, Malco released the TSHD Turboshear Heavy-Duty Impactor As good as they come when it comes to duty tools. Their quality is excellent, they stand up and last for many years, and I do not have any complaints at all. I have had mine for quite a while now, and I have used them extensively. A few years ago, I was working on a metal job when an Amish crew was working alongside me. saw them using hand metal snips so after I got a break I walked over and asked them if they wanted to use the Malco? After saying no thank you at first, they came over after about an hour or so and asked if I was still using the shears. It was my instruction for them to use the tools as if they had stolen Despite my best intentions, we both had a good laugh and after they were finished, they brought the books back and thanked me for helping them. You will save a lot of time working with metal roofs, especially if you are dealing with them frequently. My experience is that these have worked with multiple brands of Drills, both cordless and electric, so they are a quality tool that is.

Certainly one of the best tools around! Without this tool, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish what I did
5/5

Building homes with metal roofing and siding was something I often did and used a circular saw blade made of metal. I hate how the blades are re-used and what a mess. This tool was used on the metal I needed to cut when I built my last house. I am amazed at how well it did its work. Once you have it attached to your drill, you're ready to go. Dewalt drill of 18 volts was the tool I used. Having both 29 and 26 gauge steel metal, and 3/4 inch and 1 inch plus ribs on both of them, it cut. It is definitely a tool I would recommend. It will never hurt you in the long run. My spare blade had not yet been used, as I had not yet been forced to use it in case it broke. Excellent delivery in a timely manner!.

This is a review of the PRO ROOFER
5/5

Historically, this tool has been used for everything steel, especially when it is big enough so that it can cut through just about anything. It has the sharpness to stand up to my Ryobi 18v set and keep going, but works with almost any battery operated drill. I saw one before and used it when I did metal roofing, but this Malco has the sharpness to keep up. As far as I'm aware, I have never found a drill of that type that could not be fitted due to the extended range. Despite getting the replacement blades, I do not anticipate having to use them for another year or two. 5 out of 5 stars and two thumbs up. 18 ga. and 16 ga. are both cut well using the cutting power of this machine. Metal with ease and control, just be sure to tighten all the right places so you can turn a corner on holes or corners inside the metal within a 16th inch. On the downside, I have found only that it does not lock into my impact drill, but again, I have a regular drill with two speeds, I am accustomed to using it on high speed all the time but I recommend beginners to start slowly and cut those ridges on consumer grade roofing. If you practice a little, you can lift the left side as you cross over the ridges. Lay your metal flat if you need this. When the stationary blade runs across the metal, a trail is left on the metal so ensure you cut the cull on the underside or make sure the trail is on the cull.

Hand snips are much better than hand shears
3/5

For a few years now, I have cut panels of corrugated metal roofing and siding with this product. In my opinion, the following holds true Works well with my Ridgid cordless impact driver (also works with my drill). It cuts metal fairly well, but it is not as easy to get through However, this is much better than the alternative of There is a lot of heat generated in the drill. Within a few minutes of cutting, it is too hot to touch. Afraid that my drill is going to catch fire. In one cut, the battery is used up by half. Using a fully charged 18-volt battery will be able to make two very long cuts. I tried to attach the shear to my corded drill but it didn't fit correctly. Shears cannot be used with my very old drill because it is too wide. Despite its shortcomings, the tool works fine, but I should have gotten a nibbler or electric shears instead. The best way to save money is to avoid cheaping.

If there is no outlet, the plug is a nice feature to have
5/5

I have been looking for a tool to use for cutting the return openings on furnace cabinets. I use a Milwaukee m18 impact drill and it works very well. We have used it for sheetmetal a couple of times. It's nice not to have to worry about the power sheetmetal sheers requiring 120 volts. However, what is the point of the clamp in black? The cover on mine has been removed, as well as the rubbery material. During this time, it came off and wouldn't stay on that well, so I I like how it works and how clean it cuts.

The best Malco HD Metal Turboshear Drill Attachment has been handcrafted in the USA
5/5

The tool is excellent for cutting straight pieces of sheet metal. One 18V Makita LXT drill and cutting plate is capable of cutting 24 feet of mild steel sheet for fluorescent fixtures My surprise at seeing the battery was great. If you are doing a large radius curve, it is possible to do curves. The new tool is easy to use once you get the hang of it, as many tools are It has been observed that shears are most effective at a certain angle of attack. My first impression of this tool was that it was made in the USA. The blades on my snips proved very sharp after the job I used them on, for the price of a pair of good quality snips. I found that they are easily replaceable and provide fast performance on sheet metal. There is no doubt that this is a "no brainier" if you work with sheet metal, HVAC, etc. We all have lithium power drills, and with this kit you can add even more functionality. A very highly recommended product!.
