The Malco TurboShear TS1 is a time-saving drill attachment that converts a standard 1200 RPM corded drill or cordless drill into a powerful sheet metal cutting shear. Simply insert the TS1 into your drill chuck and you’re ready to cut—making it an easy upgrade for HVAC techs, metal roofing installers, and sheet metal professionals who want premium cutting performance without the cost of a dedicated power shear.

Built for tough jobsite work, the TS1 cuts straight and left, and is capable of navigating tight curves, patterns, and square cutouts in heavy materials like 20-gauge galvanized steel. Its offset design keeps your hands safely above the work surface, and the hardened cutting jaws are long-wearing and replaceable for extended tool life. For blind cuts, the TurboShear requires only a 1/2" starting hole, making it ideal for ducts, enclosures, roof panels, and equipment cutouts.

The TurboShear TS1 handles a wide range of materials including galvanized steel, cold-rolled steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, vinyl, steel mesh, ductwork, furnace jackets, equipment enclosures, and automotive body panels. For cleaner results across material thicknesses, the cutting jaw clearance is adjustable using the built-in set screw, allowing you to dial in the tool for thin or thick material as needed.
