Precision. Power. Performance. 

 

 

When it comes to metal roofing, wall panels, or vinyl siding, precision matters. That’s why Malco Tools—trusted by trade professionals for over 70 years—is proud to introduce the newest addition to our industry-proven TurboShear® line: the Malco TurboShear® Rotary Panel Cutter (TSPC1). 

Designed specifically for cutting ribbed metal roofing panels, wall panels, and vinyl siding, the TSPC1 delivers clean, accurate results without distortion. Its dual opposing cutting wheels and self-advancing rotary action take the effort out of long cuts, helping pros work faster, cleaner, and with less fatigue. 

Part of a Trusted Line of Drill-Powered Cutting Tools 

Malco’s TurboShear® family has become a jobsite staple, providing versatile and affordable power-assisted cutting solutions for metal, vinyl, and more. Each TurboShear® is engineered to attach quickly to a standard drill, transforming it into a high-performance cutting machine that can handle even the most demanding applications. 

The Original: TurboShear® Model TS1 

The TurboShear® TS1 is where it all began. This time-saving attachment fits any standard 1200 RPM A/C or cordless drill and makes fast, clean cuts in 20-gauge (1.02 mm) galvanized steel. It cuts straight and to the left, handles tight curves and blind cuts with ease, and can tackle a wide range of materials, from sheet metal and ductwork to vinyl siding and automotive panels. Its offset design keeps hands safely away from the cutting surface, and its long-wearing, hardened jaws are fully replaceable, delivering professional results without the cost of a dedicated shear. 

TurboShear® Heavy Duty (TSHD) 

For more demanding jobs, the TSHD steps up with wide-opening jaws and the ability to cut through layered metal, seams, and spiral duct ribs. This tool offers excellent control at high or low drill speeds, allowing you to: 

  • Follow precise trim lines 
  • Make curved or square cuts in metal roofing panels 
  • Navigate crosscuts and through-profile cuts in seconds 
TurboShear® for Corrugated Metal (TSCM) 

The TSCM TurboShear® is purpose-built for cutting corrugated or trapezoidal (box) pattern metal roofing panels. It’s the go-to tool for making clean crosscuts, fast lengthwise cuts, and even precise circular or outlet cuts. The TSCM outperforms manual shears in terms of speed and accuracy, making it a favorite among roofers working with rugged, wavy panels. 

The Newest Addition: TurboShear® Rotary Panel Cutter (TSPC1) 

TSPC1 continues the legacy of innovation by introducing a specialized solution to the TurboShear line for ribbed panel applications and vinyl siding. It’s ideal for installers who need clean results and reduced hand fatigue in every job.
