Professional roofer's review July 10, 2009

I've been doing metal roofing for around twelve years and this is by far the best powered metal cutting tool I've met. Conventional nippers and punches were all inferior to my midwest snips Midwest Left Cuts Snip but when we found this marvelous invention maybe four or five years ago I finally had a competent powered snips.
This tool works better than advertised. It can indeed cut through several layers of standard metal roofing (28-29 gauge) thus saving extra time if you are cutting several pieces at the same angle or length. It fits the 18v DeWalt screw guns like it's been specially designed for it, but is also very versatile allowing it to fit different sizes and shapes of drills.
After years of hard use these things are still going strong. The jaws are a tad looser than they used to be and could use a little adjustment, but are still functioning well.
I wish I could meet the guy who invented this amazingly simple piece of ingenuity. Five and a half stars!!!!

I was cutting metal barn siding/roofing with this tool and what a blister saver! cuts like butter. I would highly recommend it. Used it on a cordless craftsman and also a dewalt corded drill

This is an awesome tool for me. I'm an HVAC tech that has to cut metal once in a while but not very often. I loathe using hand shears and that makes this a great tool for me. It takes up little room in the van, connects to the drill easily (I've tried it on 2 types, both work great), and it does its job very well.
Malco Turbo Shear HD Review January 10, 2007
Crowman (Morganton, GA)

I recently re-roofed my house in red metal. The roof had several complex valleys where the metal needed to be cut at various angles. The steel roofing panels were easily cut with the Malco TSHD attachment. I alternated using it between a Ryobi 18 volt battery powered electric drill and a Black & Decker 14.4 volt battery powered Fire Storm drill. Both worked equally well. The Turbo Shear attachment went through the 29 gauge steel like a knife through butter. The 3/4 inch high ribs were not a problem for the Turbo Shear attachment to cut through.
One thing I noticed was that the bottom shear jaw would scratch the metal on it's side; however, by placing the cutter on the waste side, this was eliminated. The spindle has three flats which makes it easy to tighten the battery powered drill's keyless chuck around. If you are installing metal roofing, this is a low-cost alternative to both a nibbler and power shear, plus with the freedom of going cordless.
Buy it.

I bought the turboshear hoping it would work as described. I wanted to remove some ribbed metal roofing from the valleys on my house and replace it with flat metal. As I got into the project, It required a combination of turboshear, tin snips and attitude, due to multiple layers. The turboshear could not cut multiple layers but was able to get into pretty tight spots. It definitely made this project go a lot faster. Occasionally if I used too much force trying to get into a tight area, the brackets would slip on the drill handle. This didn't happen a lot. I definitely pushed the limits of the turboshear and was pleasantly surprised at how well it performed.
