  • Installed 4in cut in box for lights

  • Amazing!
Pattern Name: Accessory
I needed to drill out a lot of 4" holes in tin on my metal shop for lights, thought a carbide hole saw would work... don't even try it. I used a 1/2 bit as a starter hole and then used my Makita nibbler, it sucked but worked. I then saw this tool used on some social media post by a guy that builds barndos for a living. Bought this and holy crap, I will forever use this for holes in tin. Cuts like butter even on my thicker gauge PBR panels. PERFECT holes, fast and easy. Built well, heavy duty. Genius idea! GET ONE! ... show more

  • Expensive but works well.
Pattern Name: Accessory
Works well but the item arrives in damaged condition. Manufacture was made aware and suggested returning. The damage is going to happen any way since the frame is not inside the clamshell allowing it to get dinged and banged around. Ours had several chips in the powder coated paint. Using it is super simple but is easiest with a second helper. The drill needs to be high speed and this thing saves a lot of time making those duct work cut outs. Would recommend even if you only plan a few cuts. The cut finish is awesome like a laser cut. Price is a little high for such a simple tool but the end results show why you bought it. Suggestion to manufacture: include a pouch for the tool and allen key along with a spare cutting bit. The price is high enough to do this at no charge. ... show more

  • Great performer! Tried cheaper version of this tool don't waste your time or material!
Pattern Name: Accessory
Tried the Klein Tools version and china clones and none seemed to come close. The Malco version provided fast clean cuts with out heating the work piece up. I was expecting the same performance as the other tools since the all look the same but very different performance! I put a dab of cutting oil on the bit to prolong its life just be sure to clean it off the work piece! ... show more
