User Comments about the Malco TS1 Turbo Shear 20 Gauge Capacity Sheet Metal Cutting Attachment for 3/8-Inch Drills

or heavier with snips knows about the burning forearms. 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. If you have these situations to deal with, don't wait, I promise it's the best $40 you'll ever spend. Anyone who has had to cut dowm a large piece of duct work or cut a big take-off into 22ga.



This cutter works as good or better than most electric type cutters I have purchaced. Well worth the priceT Smith 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.



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. These shears cut through sheet metal like a hot knife through butter.I had a small sheet metal project that required shears. This tool is great for cutting sheet metal without adding another expensive dedicated tool to your collection. 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. All in all, this is a great money-saving, space-efficient way to have electric sheet metal shears. 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'm happy that I bought this item. it works perfect.I would recomend this product to enyone.egards



Great product, especially for the money. This works very well. I had to cut 60 feet of 10" wide flashing into 5" strips. Be sure to buy the drill clamp assembly so you can have one hand on the drill and one holding the object you're cutting. Without this, I would have had a very sore hand and wrist.
