Turbo Shear

Malco's TSCM TurboShears work better and faster than manual metal roofing shears.

This versatile and portable TurboShear fits a drill you already own to make easy cross cuts, fast lengthwise cuts and precise circular and square outlet cuts in large or small pattern corrugated metal roofing and common trapezoidal (box) pattern metal roofing panels. Elongated blades with compact jaws create a steep 75 deg offset so that the drill is held at a nearly vertical approach when starting a cut. As these offset blades follow the rising angle of a corrugated or trapezoidal profile, the drill handle or battery pack has clearance to naturally tip downward and still clear the roofing panel surface. The shear can operate at high or low speeds for the control you need to follow a precise cut line. Heavy-duty gearing and beefy, hardened carbon steel blades combine to offer long service life in 30 to 24 ga (0.31 to 0.61 mm) roofing panel metal. A lateral blade adjustment capability ensures that optimum cutting performance and maneuverability can be maintained for the life of the blades. Replacement blades are also available and are easily installed on the job. A sleek, lightweight aluminum-cast shear head and compact molded polymer patented drill clamp allow maximum portability and ease to go wherever the work is. The 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 deg and set in any position for optimum tool clearance when navigating profiles or to facilitate easy material flow.
