Testing The Dewalt Shear Attachment

Picked one of these Dewalt Shear Attachment from Amazon and did some testing. This thing rocks. Tested with multiple different brands to see how it worked with dewalt, Milwaukee and Makita. I was actually really surprised how well it worked. See the tool in action!
Purchase from amazon at amzn.to/2S3XNFF
If you are considering buy, just do yourself a favor and pick them up, you won't be disappointed! Cut super fast and really light weight!
It didn’t fit great on the Makita, but both the dewalt impact/drill as well as the Milwaukee fit great. At first I wasn’t able to move the mounting arm enough to be able to mount anywhere but the battery on the M18, but once I loosened it up, I was able to get a good mount on the tool itself. As pictured in the thumbnail.

Had one for 2 years. Works great. Mostly use to cut return air sides on furnaces.

I love the way you do testing all tools, my man!

[@omnibuildersnz]

got on at xmas and was highly impressed i typically ust it upside down to avoid hand ups on my makita impact its a win all round!!!!

[@Yohane350]

Just got mine last night. Ready to test it out at the job today! It actually fits the m12 Impact Driver as long as you use the 4.0 or 6.0 battery.

[@ashleypeaker]

good video mate. been using these for about 4 yrs now. Use to run the malco turbo shears until they changed there head design, then swapped to the dewalt. speed is the key with these so the faster rpm the better u cut. i run it with the dewalt impact driver as nice in the hand and i use it with the driver upside down. highly recommend these for a cost effective metal shear.

[@TheJakem24]

Awesome. The video I was looking for. Cheers

Pick up a set! I think you will be pretty happy with them.

[@OGCoochieP0pper]

That's a cool little tool.

[@HVACToolReview]

I thought so! 👍👍

[@Strictly4Defense]

that why you’re able to rotate the shears (when battery is getting caught on the metal) the benefit of this tool over the malco tool is you can cut with one hand instead of two hands as required with malco. anyways. Good review.

[@johnussss]

What I was going to say

[@BlueCollarBiceps]

Never seen this one looks sweet! I’ve always debated on picking up the Malco version

[@HVACToolReview]

Yea man I was really surprised. And believe this a a bit cheaper than the Malco version

[@sherrydurden59]

I bought one from Lowes and put it on our Kobalt and It didn't do very well wouldn't stay connected to the drill. So I'm going to try and put it on another brand we have. Thanks for the tool in action..

[@garrettficken9023]

Thing is sick! Would love to have it

[@HVACToolReview]

I thought so too, good luck winning this one!

[@csimet]

Nice. I'm surprised it seems better on the drill vs. impact. I just picked one up, as my hands are tired from using manual snips. ;)

[@vanbui8114]

Great tools

[@markanthonyr]

Cool tool

[@lemix69]

I really liked the video, I was a little concerned at first didn't know what to expect, but as you showed it makes short work of varying thicknesses of sheet metal. Just what I need, I will be buying one. Thanks again, I always like to see what the professionals think, before I make a purchase of a tool I haven't used before. 🖖😎

[@christophermamaril640]

my dream tools😃

[@nelsonloureiro53]

Great review with various devices and cutting thicknesses. The Dewalt DT70670 has a 360° rotating head. You can cut in any position, the machine can go to 90°, so the battery doesn't bother you. Hug

[@HVACToolReview]

Thanks! Appreciate you checking out the video

[@ourugby1]

Where could I buy this one with the rotating head? I can't find it.

[@hong9270]

That is why you're able to rotate the shears when the bettery gets caught on the metal. The benefit of this tool over the Malco tool is you can cut with one hand instead od two hands as required with Malco.

[@tinman1955]

It's a pretty good tool for hacking thru the plastic packaging it comes in.

[@machfiver753]

I would think that if you used a rotary hammer type of drill, geared drive drill, or a dugga dugga air gun to power the attachment it would only be limited by the gap between the cutters as to what it would cut through (material depending)

[@geraldhickey7781]

I just picked one up today , it fits DeWalt rather well but won't open up wide enough for Ridgid drills

[@joeking433]

I'm looking at how you get the thing from the way it is in the package to fit on the drill! Did you unscrew some screws or what?

[@n.talbert]

Ever try this out on thinner titanium sheets by chance? .5mm or 1mm gr5. I'm guessing the .5 would work, but unsure of the 1mm.

[@machfiver753]

Ok so now a serious comment/question. I noticed from the link you pinned something that I didn't pick up on from your video and that may limit the types of tools that it can attach to. The "universal" brace looks like it will only work with cordless tools that have a flat type battery pack or a grip with a lump at the bottom for the brace to wedge onto. Any tool without that like a corded drill would have nothing for the brace to wedge into and therefore wouldn't brace. I guess you could technically attach a clamp of some kind to the base of the handle to take the place of the battery pack. Also I am not sure that I would be comfortable with the brace putting pressure onto the battery pack over time it seems that it would be damaging to the tool. Maybe this isn't a problem for the home gamer market where its use would be intermittent in most cases. It doesn't seem likely that it would be something used by a business or in an industrial setting. With the above in mind could a clamp or similar be used to effectively hold the brace in the same way that it functions when used with a cordless tool?

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Might I suggest having more light. It's hard to see anything with it so dark

[@KTK_Rockstar]

How is this compared to the malco version and the original malco version with the handle?

How long does shears last? Can they be sharpened?

I plan on going with the malco turbo shears and see how they do.

[@HVACToolReview]

What do you like more about the Malcos? Let me know how you like them once you have them!

[@b-2466]

@@HVACToolReview it has a handle and can make turns easily. Plus making sheet metal tools is what Malco does.

[@HVACToolReview]

Can’t argue with that! I Was just curious. I’d like to grab a set of the malcos and compare the two

[@johnussss]

Not doubting your choice, if I was richer I'd buy the Malco sheers, though which ones? there are so may to choose from, watched a guy use the same one in the video and he was cutting freestyle on a warped bit of 18 gauge scrap and it went round corners well.

[@KTK_Rockstar]

Blades can be opened up to cut thicker material a little better

[@TrippsMedia]

Cool, never seen it before either for a Dewalt. Way quicker then my tin snips.

[@HVACToolReview]

For sure, I may never use tin snips again 😂

[@Damian-xc7km]

How thick of sheet metal can this cut?

[@zx6mick]

does it cut slate ?

[@ericespinoza3773]

Will it cut stainless steel?

[@wranefis]

You know how there’s right and left sheet metal cutters .. which of those two would this adapter replace?

[@HVACToolReview]

I’d say these are best suited for straight cuts and large radius sweeping cuts. It does better going counterclockwise like red cutters, although you can do clockwise cuts if you practice a bit with it.

[@jjknight22]

I need it to work on Fiber Cement hardi boards.

[@steveg2479]

I gave up on 1/2”hardi because it is too difficult to cut. Anyone got any tips?

[@stuart1409]

be good if they made an attachment that cut c studs

[@noeg9376]

Could you rotate the tip enough to where the battery won’t hit on the Milwaukee drill ?

[@steveandsara7240]

Saw in another video where they guy fliped the bracket around so it clamped onto the back of the milwaukee in a straight line with the 1/4 drive. This leaves the battery free. Also the dewalt cutting head can be rotated 90deg

[@joanserrano7884]

Just turn the drill or attachement to cut side ways instead of straight so the battery wont catch.

[@HVACToolReview]

Yeah buddy, works great

[@rodcausey7857]

Impressive, didn’t know it existed either but def looks a handy tool.. how many years have you been in the trade?

Why does nobody test cutting curves and raised bumps with these things?

[@dallasmiltenberger1585]

How do u think it would do cutting a return hole in side of furnace

[@HVACToolReview]

I haven’t tried to cut into any furnaces with it, but I don’t think it would be a problem for. As long as the furnace casing isn’t abnormally thick this should work just fine. It’s rated to 18g but I think you could probably cut a little thicker stuff if you had to.

[@dallasmiltenberger1585]

I was just curious as if it would make the 90 deg turns on the square hole. I ended up buying one. I also have the malco turbo shears. Looking forward to testing these dewalt ones out on my next install. Good video We need a HVAC tool channel

I recently bought this shear tools and i've noticed that the upper part of the blade (the one that swivels up & down) it's a little loose (has a little play when it's not used). it's normal or it's something broken or untighten inside? can you please confirm if yours it's the same please? thank man!
