“Use the TS1 TurboShear every day as an HVAC technician, so I can say without question that this TurboShear lives up to every bit of what I have come to expect from Malco. Great piece of equipment for anyone working with sheet metal or in the HVAC field.” 5-Star Review by WorkingMan on the TS1 TurboShear®
“I have been in the industry for over 30 years, and as far as I know, I have used Zip-In Screws from Malco ever since I started in the trade. In the past 23 years, I have owned my own business, and I have tried other screws and always come back to Malco.” 5-Star Review by Gary K. on the Zip-In® Self Piercing Sheet Metal Screws

Here are some reviews of our handy building construction tools:
“I’m a contractor. I do several metal roof jobs a year. Was skeptical when I first bought this, but it was definitely the best decision. This tool cuts cutting time in half. It leaves a very smooth edge that won’t cut you like snips will. Very much recommended.” 5-Star Review by 304carpenter on the TurboShear Corrugated Metal Cutting Drill Attachment
“Works like a champ. No more bleeding fingers trying to get vinyl siding to snap back together. Just hook the tool onto the last lip of the siding, rotate it upwards, and either push or pull on the siding.” 5-Star Review by Kenneth B. on the SideSwiper II Vinyl Siding Removal Tool
