Handy Power Drill Attachments for HVAC, Building Construction & Automotive Applications

 

HVAC

TurboShear® Heavy Duty (TSHD)

Here’s a power drill attachment that has revolutionized the HVAC market. Transform your drill or small impact driver into an 18-gauge, metal-cutting power shear with the best-selling TSHD attachment. Its wide-opening jaws can operate at high or low speeds for optimum control and easily cut through layered metal and seams, even the ribs of spiral duct. The clamp collar allows the shear head to be rotated 360° and set in any position for additional flexibility. A pneumatic option is also available.

TurboShear® Double Cut (TSMD)

Need a double cut for the job? Turn your drill or small impact driver into a powerful double-cutting metal shear with smooth one-handed operation. The blades can approach a cut from either end to remove a narrow spiral scrap from the tool path to produce a clean, straight edge on both sides of the cut. Navigate up to 90° outside profiles of metal ductwork and cut through seams with ease. The clamp collar allows the shear head to be rotated 360° and set in any position for excellent tool clearance. A pneumatic option is also available.

TurboCrimper® (C5A)

Say hello to the ultimate sheet metal crimping power drill attachment. Make fast, easy, and precise crimps in 24- to 30-gauge round duct and pipe with effortless one-handed operation. The TurboCrimper features a telescoping clamp that adjusts to fit the length and width of most drill housings, with a recommended low-speed setting during usage. With a 9:1 gear reduction that ensures safety and control, insert and remove metal by setting the crimper lever in the down position to open the gears. If the metal exceeds capacity, a clutch in the gear mechanism prevents any damage to the attachment. If you have an impact driver, check out the TurboCrimper® Impact that works 78% faster (based on actual field trials) than using a manual sheet metal crimping tool!
