The newest tools of the trade

By Jenny Yu.  

In an upcoming MetalTalk™, dive into the innovative solutions Malco Tools has to offer. 

Founded in 1950, Malco Tools began when a young steel supply salesmen decided to manufacture a pipe crimper to aid with installing sheet metal ductwork. Since then, Malco has grown to be a steady industry leader due to its innovation-driven approach to creating real-world solutions in the HVAC-R trades. Now, Malco is taking their innovation one step further, bringing new cutting-edge tools to the metal roofing and siding market.  

In an upcoming MetalTalk™, “Innovation Meets Metal,” on November 18, 2025, Karen Edwards of The Coffee Shops™ will be joined by Malco Group’s Vice President of Marketing, Rebecca Talbot, to discuss Malco’s latest innovations, including the launch of TurboShear® Rotary Panel Cutters (TSCP1). Designed for metal construction professionals, the TSCP1 is the company’s newest addition to its TurboShear line, featuring dual opposing cutting wheels that self-advance the tool smoothly through metal and vinyl materials.  

They’ll also discuss Malco's expanded C-RHEX line, including the Cleanable Reversible Hex Drivers, engineered to eliminate downtime with seamless switching between the two hex sizes, and the 7-in-1 Fip Bit Sets, which are complete, compact toolkits built for on-the-go pros. Rebecca will also touch on the latest updates on Malco's DEFT folding tools, built to make quick bends along the drip edge of standing seam metal roofing panels.  

Finally, Karen and Rebecca will discuss the reception of these tools at METALCON 2025 and how they carry on Malco’s overall mission: to produce innovative, dependable and high-performance hand tools that promote on-the-job safety and health for hands-on pros.
