Your cart is empty.Making your power drill a powerful metal-cutting shear is now a more attractive idea than ever before! This well tailored attachment quickly inserts into the chuck of a corded or cordless drill to make fast straight, curved or square cuts in most common sheet metals. A sleek, lightweight aluminum cast shear head and molded drill clamp allow maximum portability and ease to go wherever the work is. The compact telescoping drill clamp adjusts to fit both length and width of popular drill sizes including smaller bodied impact drivers. Optional spacers are stored on clamp for large motor housings. The clamp collar allows the shear head to be rotated 360° and set in any position for optimum tool clearance when navigating profiles or to facilitate easy material flow. The shear's wide-opening jaws can operate at high or low speeds for the control you need to follow a precise trim line, navigate crosscuts through profiles of metal building and roofing panels or cut through layered metal and seams, even the ribs of spiral duct. Heavy-duty gearing and beefy, hardened carbon steel blades combine to offer up to 18-guage (1.22 mm) cutting capacity in mild steel. A lateral blade adjustment capability ensures that optimum cutting performance and maneuverability can be maintained for the life of the blades. Replacement blades are available and can be easily installed on the job.

This is a pretty handy tool to add to your drill to cut sheet metal. Head can be positioned 360 degrees , Can either be temporarily mounted to drill,or use free handed to guide it. It has been doing some really clean cuts on my stainless steel panels I have been cutting

I fit lots of kitchen and I bought this for cutting extractor covers ( stainless steel ). They are amazing and worth every penny saving time, the cut is perfect.

Great product. Highly recommend for anyone taking on a project requiring a lot of sheet metal cuts. Easy to connect and operate. Works best when the drill is upside down which is a little awkward at first but east to get used to. I purchased this when erecting my 30x48' barn. Initially I used a metal cutting blade in my circular saw - what a pain. These shears cut faster and cleaner - no chance of burning the finish like the saw blade did. Only use with an impact wrench. I made some cuts with my Milwaukee cordless drill - I believe I damaged the gearing but have never had an issue with the impact wrench. Best of luck.

Works really well. I have now used it for three metal roofs and a 40’ x 16’ building with metal siding. It has made cutting metal roof and siding materials much easier and I really don’t have any complaints about it. You do have to angle the cutters with the corrugations as you move along the cut line otherwise it will just sit there and not continue to cut. The quality is top notch and I have no concerns about it breaking etc.

This tool lets you cut metal roofing (for example) using your own cordless drill... a big help on the roof. It is very fast on flat metal and this is the beginning of the one issue I have with this tool. I am installing "5v" roofing. the creases in the roof are like an inverted "v," very sharp. This cutter will cut the flat but only with great, great, great, difficulty will it get over the "v"s. Usually this marks the heck out of the cutting area. I have reverted to using a sawsall or scroll saw on these "v"s. I know from the videos it will cut over rolling creases ok, but in the "v" situation no-go. Otherwise a great and useful tool. I mark a line with tape and cut that line, on the flat, like butter. I can use the drill as usual by simply uninstalling the cutter (about 1 minute).

Hey, work is work....but this tool puts a smile on faces around here.After 30+ years of building metal buildings, and roofing with metal around the farm and shop, we finally had a project that was huge.....and knuckles that were more arthritic than when I started. So, it was time to get a power tool to cut the metal.We were lucky, and the metal we purchased (used, but nearly new) was 26 gauge R-Lock galvanized. It was MUCH heavier....25% thicker.... than the 29 gauge galvalume farm panels we had used previously. We had 9000 sq ft of it to apply....lots of doors and window holes. WOW.....I mean REALLY......WOW....this little bear chewed through it like butter. There is a learning curve. The blades have to be tilted just so to effect a smooth cut. INCREDIBLE, this can turn a corner and leave a radius corner no bigger than a soda straw diameter !!! The ridges and valleys on R-Lock panels are deep. It just takes a bit of experimentation to find the right angle up and over and down. The nemesis of sheet metal/roofing work is lengthwise cuts. This little tool breezes up long cuts....and it doesn't matter if they are on the flat, or the top or side of a ridge. For the first time in 30 years, it looked like contractors, and not farmers, had done the work.BUY YELLOW....KEVLAR....DOT GLOVES....DO NOT USE COTTON DOT GLOVES. LEATHER IS FINE, BUT THE KEVLAR DOTTED GLOVES ARE THE PRO CHOICE. REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE WORKING WITH SOMETHING THAT CAN CUT YOU LIKE A STRAIGHT RAZOR. ANY SHEARS OR NIBBLERS WILL DROP AND LEAVE SMALL BITS AND PIECES OF METAL....RUBBER SOLES WILL PICK THEM UP....AND THEY WILL PLAY HAVOC WITH LINOLEUM OR WOOD FLOORS IN THE HOUSE !!!!!We mounted ours on a corded, quality drill. I have not used it on a cordless drill yet. Some care is needed in the mounting, and the harness is somewhat cumbersome .......BUT....there is no drawback that can cause less than a 5 star rating. This tool does all, and more, than advertised. I bought a set of replacement jaws with it, thinking that they would be needed halfway through the job. I don't think that they will be needed after another building this size.Perfect tool for a sheet metal project. Be careful, stay safe, and good luck.

After patching the roof over my back bedroom and kitchen annually, I decided to replace the tar paper material with a metal roof. Being a novice at metal roofs and remembering the pain caused by tin snips, I wanted something better. After researching tools to make cutting the metal easier, I settled on the Malco TSHD Turboshear Heavy-Duty nibblers. They exceeded my expectations. I didn't have to use conventional tin snips at all because of the versatility of the tool.My father in-law is a handyman and helped me with the roof. He has all sorts of tools for pretty much everything. He started to grab his metal cutting tools when I handed him this tool. Hardly anything impresses him but after he used it, he wanted to know where he could get some of his own. He was amazed how someone unskilled as I am could find such a great tool. I'm no longer useless to him. That in itself is more than worth the price I paid for it.Highly recommended.

I've been doing metal roofing for around twelve years and this is by far the best powered metal cutting tool I've met. Conventional nippers and punches were all inferior to my midwest snips but when we found this marvelous invention maybe four or five years ago I finally had a competent powered snips.This tool works better than advertised. It can indeed cut through several layers of standard metal roofing (28-29 gauge) thus saving extra time if you are cutting several pieces at the same angle or length. It fits the 18v DeWalt screw guns like it's been specially designed for it, but is also very versatile allowing it to fit different sizes and shapes of drills.After years of hard use these things are still going strong. The jaws are a tad looser than they used to be and could use a little adjustment, but are still functioning well.I wish I could meet the guy who invented this amazingly simple piece of ingenuity. Five and a half stars!!!!
