Malco TS1 Turbo Shear 20 Gauge Capacity Sheet Metal Cutting Attachment

These are the best sheet metal cutting shears hands down!Works perfectly

So I was confused by the instructions because of the round plastic shroud and most of the videos I have seen of these cutters being used.Knowing I could confidently put a round block in a round hole and a square block in a square hole as a child, I noticed there was no round anything on the cutters themselves for the round thing on the sheer guides.After looking up a bit more on here I saw that these were not the “corrugated” metal cutters, which does have the round part built on the sheets themselves.For me, this is acceptable enough. I know Malco products are quality because I own other tools of theirs and quite frankly all I needed was something to keep the cutters from spinning so I could use the cutters one handed.That being said. I think you could probably use a large rubber band or come up with another way to keep the cutting attachment from spinning if you wanted.Or you could spend the extra $50 to get the corrugated cutters which would allow you to switch from left cut to right cut.I’m a little irritated I guess but not enough to return them to get the round one.Just take your time when ordering this IF being able to switch cutting directions ( basically from red to green) means something to you.I’m a big believer that having the right tools, the right quality tools, makes the difference. If I’m going to buy it I’m going to get the best there is to make my job as easy as possible.Plus malco is a reputable company who makes quality tools. I have yet to order ANYTHING from malco and be disappointed. Which is a great feeling.

Ordered because I saw a coworker had 1. Thought it was neat. Still getting the hang of it. But really makes cutting tin sheets for ductwork easier than using snips. Has directions somewhere about adjusting the blades depending thickness of metal .. Glad I bought

Works great with my Milwaukee drill. Easy to use, even for my 70 year old mother! It was used to cut corrugated steel roofing panels. Works better with two people, but one person can manage it.

These save time and effort when cutting sheet metal. Took off one star because it should come with the attachment for clamping it to the drill (sold separately).

Worth it if you work with sheet metal a lot

Sharp and get the job done with no hassle. Works good for r panel
