The telescoping drill clamp fits drills and impact drivers of all sizes, even those with lithium-ion batteries. The tool can now rotate 360 degrees and lock into place after a recent redesign. The adjustment wrench now goes with the tool, so it can’t be lost. This way, the tool can’t be stolen. The drive shaft has a hex shank that fits into the chuck of any drill or impact driver. Large or small corrugated patterns, as well as other non-standing-seam panels, like trapezoidal (box) profiles, can be cut quickly with the TSCM. It can also cut cross-cuts, lengthwise trim cuts, and circular or square outlet holes. Drill handle or battery pack can clear the surface of the roofing panel as the TSCM head moves up and down the corrugations and other angled profiles. Elongated offset blades with small jaws allow this to happen. A lightweight aluminum-cast shear head and a small molded polymer drill clamp make it easy to go where the work is. The shear can move at high or low speeds so you can keep a precise cut line. For 30 to 24-gauge (0.31 – 0.61 mm) metal, hardened carbon steel blades work together to keep the blades in good shape for a long time. A lateral blade adjustment feature ensures that the best cutting and maneuverability can be kept for the life of the blades. Changing the blade. TSCMR.
Because I needed to cut 30 sheets of 4 X 8 roofing, I looked for a shear that was made for cutting corrugated metal. I already had a Klett KC200 double cut shear that was hard to use on corrugated metal. When it came today, I tried it right away on my Dewalt Cordless Drill. I’m ready to go now. It was just right, with enough power at both high and low speeds. You do need to adjust the cutter blade to fit the metal you are cutting, or it will not cut well. There is very little information about the setting, how it worked, or how it didn’t work.
In order to get used to the new tool and compare it to my old one, I kept cutting. I cut across a 2 ft piece of scrap roofing metal and couldn’t believe how hard it was. Wow, this is a lot of work. It’s worse than my old Klett, and it’s also very slow. Then, it’s an ergonomic mess because I had to hold it vertically with all that weight on my arms for just a few minutes. I also found it hard to cut a straight line. It’s been an hour since I ran the Klett, and both of my arms are hurting. I can run the Klett for a long time with no pain.
In my opinion, the advertisement is way off. It doesn’t “make fast cross-cuts, lengthwise trim cuts in large or small metal corrugated patterns” when compared to my old Klett, which I bought at a garage sale for $35 and still works great.
So, because it worked and looked good, I gave it two stars instead of none.
