This one-hand operation accessory quickly inserts into the chuck of a corded or cordless drill to make clean straight, circular, or square cuts in asphalt shingles. A sleek, lightweight aluminum cast shear head and molded drill clamp allow maximum portability and ease to go wherever the work is. The compact telescoping drill clamp adjusts to fit both length and width of popular drill sizes including smaller bodied impact drivers. Optional spacers are stored on clamp for large motor housings. A clamp collar allows the shear head to be rotated 360° and set in any position for optimum tool clearance when navigating roof lines or to facilitate easy material flow. Use this versatile TurboShear drill attachment to make fast, clean, trim cuts in asphalt shingles along a roof valley, or tight left square cuts and circles to fit around utility outlets, with equal precision and ease. An extra-wide jaw opening with beveled lead-in tip on the upper blade accommodates multiple shingle layers. And a wide, flat lower blade offers exceptional operator control. Heat-treated carbon steel blades with solid carbide inserts hold their edge longer in any life-rated shingle or shingle thickness. A lateral blade adjustment capability ensures that optimum cutting performance and maneuverability can be maintained for the life of the blades. Replacement blades are also available and easily installed on the job.

I only bought it to trim back shingles that the roofing co. I installed with the overhang so long I could not get my hands in to clean the gutters. After years of struggling and trying all types of cutters I tried this tool. My shingles were 40 year shingles and very thick so 3 layers with the starter. Worked great. I only used them for one day and figure I’ll find other uses. For now it cuts cardboard very well. I never have to cut shingles again but it was worth $200 for my one and only job

They work great. After a little practice I can make quick, clean, straight cuts on the hardware cloth. These have paid for themselves with time saved vs. using manual snips. I've also used these on asphalt shingles, and they work great for those as well. Very pleased with this product. Still going strong after 3 years of use. Have only had to tighten the fasteners on the blade inserts (they are designed to be replaced), have never needed to sharpen or replace them. You do need a very small hex key to tighten the fasteners that hold the blade inserts. This was not included when I bought this in 2020, and is smaller than found in common hex key sets.

Cuts shingles like butter, even in cold weather. It's much more expensive than I feel it should be, but it's build solid, and it does a fantastic job. I use it to cut my step-ups at the start or the job, and for detail cuts like around plumbing flashings or chimneys, or cut valleys.

Cuts amazingly fast, have to be mindful of the shears snagging on shingles (the body of the shears catch on shingles) when cutting a closed valley.They cut smooth on turns around boots and are a great enjoyment to use when you've spent a looong day Roofing and need to cut the valley.

These cutters are amazing if you are doing any type of complex cuts with shingles, or a lot of cuts. I was debating between these or a shingle sheer. This worked out perfect. I had the lovely opportunity to reroof a 30ft geodesic dome. Remove cedar shingles and install asphalt. After the first weekend of learning how i was going to install the shingles on a round building i knew i was going to need to cut most every shingle i put on the building at different lengths and angles. I cut 76 bundles of asphalt shingles with these sheers, different lengths and different patterns. I used these to cut shingles in place on edges or overhang. To cut around vent pipes or on edges is super easy. Obviously they cut easier with shingles warm, however even with cold shingles these cut right through them with next to no effort. You need a steady hand to cut shingles strait with these unlike a sheer but the portability and ability to have this on the roof or ladder with you and adjust the cutters and direction from the drill is nice. After Cutting all these shingles and tossing this tool around for 5 months while i worked on this building over weekends I realized even though I will never opt to redo this roof and will pay for someone to do it next time, this was the best decision and money spent on a tool to make my life easier. Also these blades are not dull at all. I could use them to do it a second time no problem. I had planned to sell these after the roof was finished but i will be keeping them and loaning them out to family on their roofing projects. I do not have any complaints.

Unreal tool. Works very well in cold weather. This is why I bought it and am very happy with the results. Does not come with much info on how to use but pretty easy to figure out.

Been Roofing all of my life. This is a great tool for cutting shingles. This is the best for cutting the hips and ridges instead if using a knife hand held blade. This tool by far save the labor time by at least 20%. Get on NOW you will not regret this purchase.
