Why customers choose TaskHolt Tools

Overview

The Malco TS1 TurboShear turns a standard drill into a capable sheet metal cutting tool. Quick to install in the chuck of most 12-volt or larger drills, it creates a portable power shear that handles straight, offset, and blind cuts with minimal setup. There is no need for a separate power unit, battery system, or dedicated tool—just clamp in and press the trigger.

What it can cut

Designed for 20‑gauge galvanized steel and 18‑gauge mild steel, the TS1 is built to handle a range of common metal tasks. It also processes related sheet materials such as metal roofing panels, ductwork, furnace jackets, and automotive body pieces with precise edges and consistent results.

Cutting capability and control

  • Straight and left cuts through ferrous and non-ferrous sheet metal
  • 1/2 inch starter hole enables clean blind cuts for interior openings
  • Offset shear head keeps hands away from the cut line for safer operation
  • Curves, tight squares, and interior patterns follow complex paths with ease
  • Two long-life ball bearings deliver smooth, repeatable performance
  • Adjustable jaw clearance via set screw tunes cut quality for thick or thin material

Durability and maintenance

The TS1 uses replaceable hardened jaws, so you can refresh cutting performance without a full tool replacement. The entire head remains lightweight and compact, making it practical for field work. Replacement jaw inserts are available separately to extend your toolkit life.

Real-world use cases

HVAC installers may use the TS1 to trim galv steel ducts and furnace jackets with clean edges. Metal fabricators can tackle panels and enclosures in tight spaces. Automotive shop tasks such as trimming panels in awkward locations are also feasible, provided the drill and speed are appropriate.

Tips for best results

  • Operate at 1200 rpm or higher on compatible drills for best cutting action
  • Start with the required 1/2 inch hole for blind cuts
  • Keep the drill steady and let the tool do the work rather than forcing it
