Malco TS1 Turbo Shear 20 Gauge Capacity Sheet Metal Cutting Attachment

Des afortunadamente al momento de hacer el corte, provoca que las láminas se deformen un poco con una especia de ondas, que posteriormente es necesario reacomodar

I've worked as a toolmaker and designer for decades, so I happen to know a lot about trade-specific tools made for machining metal. However, when it comes to cutting sheet metal, my knowledge is limited. Recently I took on the daunting task of installing a new HVAC system in my shop and discovered that the old ducts and plenums required significant modification to fit the new HVAC system. I quickly learned that my old scissor-type snips were totally insufficient for the job and began looking for an effective and yet reasonably-priced alternative. My search led me to the Malco TS1XXX TS1 Turbo Shear which seemed to the answer to my needs. I was temped to buy one of the cheaper similar tools but decided to give it a try. From the very first cut into the difficult to reach heat duct, I knew I had made the right choice. This too works beautifully with my trusty old Milwaukee 12v cordless drill which has plenty enough torque to operate the Malco Turbo Shear. Cutting in tight areas was a cinch and cutting out holes in the plenums was easy. This tool is very well designed and quality built and should last for many years of DIY use. I'm delighted with this new tool and you will be also!

A very good time savor for cutting holes for saddles and take offs. Wouldn't recommend using for cutting lengths of spiral and it leaves the edge of the spiral abit chewed up. Also make sure you're not cutting anything heavier than 20 gauge as it can ruin the shears.

Very impressive

I had been looking for a shear that cuts through sheet metal without leaving a gap, so I can section and weld it back. This meets my requirment and cut through 20 gauge steel with ease. It is a little pricey, but the build quality makes it worth every penny.
