Shear Attachment • Malco Products
The Malco No. TSCM TurboShear quickly attaches to a corded or cordless drill to make easy cross cuts, fast lengthwise cuts, and circular and square outlets in large- or small-pattern corrugated metal roofing, and most trapezoidal-pattern metal roofing panels. Elongated blades with compact jaws are set at a 75-degree offset so that the drill is held at a nearly vertical approach when starting a cut. As the 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. A lightweight aluminum shear head and compact polymer drill clamp allow easy portability. The telescoping drill clamp adjusts to fit popular drill sizes including smaller lithium ion units.
