Malco TSHD Turboshear — Heavy Duty Metal Cutting Attachment Shear

Overview

Turn a standard power drill into a capable metal cutting tool with the Malco TSHD Turboshear. This purpose-built attachment combines a lightweight aluminum head with a rugged cutting mechanism to deliver fast, controllable straight, curved, and square cuts in common sheet metals. Designed for portable use, the Turboshear fits into the chuck of a 14.4-volt or larger drill, whether corded or cordless, making it a practical upgrade for on-site jobs or quick shop setups.

The Turboshear is engineered to travel with you. Its compact clamp is adjustable to accommodate a wide range of drill sizes, including smaller-bodied impact drivers, and even includes spacers stored right on the clamp for larger motor housings. The clamp collar rotates 360 degrees and can be fixed in any position, freeing working space and improving material flow when navigating profiles or tight lines. This feature makes it easier to follow a precise trim line and tackle patterns that would otherwise slow you down.

Key capabilities

• Heavy-duty gearing and hardened carbon steel blades are built to cut through up to 18 gauge mild steel and 20 gauge spiral duct, expanding your cutting options beyond thin metal sheeting.
• The wide-opening jaws and adjustable blade geometry support both high and low speeds, giving you better control over each cut as the material presents itself.
• Lateral blade adjustment helps sustain cutting performance and maneuverability, keeping blades aligned for the life of the tool.
• Replaceable blades offer a straightforward way to refresh performance on long projects, reducing downtime and keeping you productive on-site.
• The lightweight, all-metal head and maneuverable clamp enhance portability, so the Turboshear travels well between jobs and fits into tool bags with ease.

In practice, this attachment shines when you need to trim along crosscuts in metal building panels, cut through seams, or navigate along the ribs of spiral duct. The Turboshear’s capability to reach tight corners and square cuts helps you complete patterns that would otherwise require a dedicated shear. The USA-made design and reinforced components emphasize reliability on busy days, while the combination of a compact head and rotating clamp supports flexible working angles for more comfortable operation.
