A great alternative to a dedicated power shear [Posted on 2007-05-07]
A robust and inexpensive alternate to buying a power shear. I didn't want to spend upwards of $100 and add another corded tool to an already overcrowded tool chest. The Turboshear was a great choice. It's robust and compact, and it made short work of the 150' or so of 22g. steel cuts for my current sculpture commission. The only problem I noted was that it requires two hands to operate, unlike a powered shear. Still, a great option for adding functions to tools you already own.
OK [Posted on 2007-05-12]
I purchased this to cut templates about the size of a dinner mat out of the sides of 18-wheeler trailers (1/8" aluminum). Given the other reviews cutting steel, I was expecting good things. However, my experience was mixed.
I found it could cut the aluminum quickly but only at one magical angle and with significant forward force applied. It was challenging to find/maintain the magic angle and supply sufficient forward force while standing on a ladder.
I noticed that air-powered shears have two cutting blades. With two blades, the torque applied to each edge of the cut is balanced. These single blade shears often left the edges stressed with waves and bending.
My 15.4V Panasonic drill worked but 18V might have been better.
All in all, it is very affordable and better than hand shears. I don't regret owning it, but it has limitations.
Works great on level cuts [Posted on 2007-09-04]
This tool works super when cutting flat surfaces but its more challenging if cutting across ribbed steel like roof panels. Then you need a fair amount of force applied at the proper angle. But it's a heck of lot better than using manual nips.
works very well [Posted on 2008-04-01]
This works very well. I had to cut 60 feet of 10" wide flashing into 5" strips. Without this, I would have had a very sore hand and wrist. Great product, especially for the money. Be sure to buy the drill clamp assembly so you can have one hand on the drill and one holding the object you're cutting.
