Customer Reviews
Great tool for the job
The Turbo Shear attaches quickly and easily and does a very good job at cutting fiber cement siding. I've seen some other reviews stating that they cut 1/2", I do not think this tool is intended to cut that thick of board.
The main draw back as stated by others is that you cannot cut a very sharp arch. Also this tool does create SOME dust, but it is very slight and falls to the ground - not into a dust storm as with a saw. The other slight con is that it can tear the corner on the exit of a cut. But this also has to do with the way the board is held while cutting. If you are cutting solo expect to have something to firmly secure the end you are cutting off. Fiber Cement planks are heavy and quite flimsy when laying flat. Another tip is cut with the back of the board facing up, comes out cleaner.

Malco hardiplank shear
It is a fantastic cutter. I love it, does what it is supposed to do and that is cut Hardi with no dust.

perfect tool
If you are cutting hardi siding this a great tool. Cuts fast and there is no dust. The only drawback is it won't cut tight arcs or circles

Not good for Nichiha siding
I couldn't get a clean cut in 1/2" Nichiha siding - the back side was mashed to a pulp. Returning the tool.

Excellent tool
I bought this tool to begin the process of replacing all of the siding on my house. I have a setup on the radial arm saw with a dry masonry blade that creates lots of dust. It works fine for the 1" thick trim boards, but it won't cut the long angles in the Hadrie Plank for the roof pitch on the ends of the house. I had tried the same setup with a circular saw and custom guide and made lots of dust while cutting the Hardie plank.
I attached this tool to a Dewalt 18 volt drill which had plenty of power to run it. Attaching was simple and obvious without the instructions.
The first project involved cutting 4 by 8 foot sheets of Hardie siding for the porch roof. This tool had no problem cutting a 4 foot long line with a single hand holding the drill/cutter. It was fairly easy to stay right on the line as the tool removed the material on the waste side of it. The best part was the lack of dust.
The edge did have a slightly rough appearance, but in this case it was covered by trim so it won't be visible. It shouldn't be an issue for the 8-1/4" plank.
