Description
Malco TS1 TurboShear Metal Cutting Attachment – Drill-Powered HVAC Sheet Metal Shear for 20-Gauge Steel | TS1
The Malco TS1 TurboShear® is a high-performance drill attachment designed to convert a standard power drill into a powerful metal-cutting shear. Whether used in HVAC installations, roofing, or metal fabrication, this tool provides precision and efficiency with minimal effort. The offset design keeps hands safely away from the cutting surface, reducing the risk of accidental injury while maintaining full control over the cutting path. Compatible with corded and cordless drills operating at a minimum of 1,200 RPM, the TS1 easily cuts 20-gauge galvanized steel, 24-gauge stainless steel, 16-gauge aluminum, and 0.050-inch copper. The attachment provides clean and burr-free cuts, ensuring professional-grade results with minimal material waste. With its long-lasting, replaceable hardened jaws, the TS1 is a durable and cost-effective solution for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
Unlike conventional metal-cutting methods that produce sparks, excess noise, or jagged edges, the TS1 TurboShear®delivers a smooth, controlled cutting experience. The tool's unique multi-directional cutting capability allows users to navigate tight curves, square cuts, and long straight lines with ease. This is especially beneficial in HVAC applications, where precise duct fabrication is critical for system efficiency. Designed for one-handed operation, the lightweight attachment provides improved maneuverability, even in tight spaces. The non-slip drill clamp secures the shear firmly in place, eliminating unwanted vibrations and ensuring maximum stability during use. With the ability to cut in both forward and reverse directions, users can work from multiple angles, reducing strain and increasing productivity.
Built for durability, the Malco TS1 TurboShear® is constructed from industrial-grade materials that withstand heavy use. The hardened steel cutting blades maintain sharpness over extended periods, minimizing the need for frequent replacements. The compact yet rugged design makes it an excellent choice for fieldwork, where portability and reliability are crucial. The drill-powered mechanism eliminates the need for bulky, standalone metal shears, offering a cost-effective alternative without sacrificing performance. Whether tackling HVAC ductwork, metal roofing, or custom sheet metal projects, the TS1 stands out as a versatile and indispensable cutting tool.
From professional contractors to metalworking hobbyists, the TS1 TurboShear® offers unparalleled cutting precision and long-term durability. The tool's quick-change blade system allows for easy blade replacements, ensuring minimal downtime between projects. Its adjustable cutting clearance accommodates different material thicknesses, providing flexibility across multiple applications. By integrating seamlessly with a standard power drill, the TS1 eliminates the need for expensive specialty tools, making it an economical yet high-performing solution. Whether you need quick, clean cuts on-site or in a workshop setting, the Malco TS1 remains a trusted choice for efficient and precise metal cutting.
