Malco 52793 Flexduct Shear

Product Description

The MALCO 52793 is a dedicated flexduct shear designed for cutting flexible ductwork cleanly and efficiently in HVAC applications. This hand tool delivers a controlled, single-motion cut through the outer jacket, insulation layer, and inner liner of flexible duct without crushing or tearing the material. Licensed HVAC technicians and sheet metal installers reach for a purpose-built shear like this when clean duct terminations are required at registers, boots, and collars. A clean cut reduces air leakage at connections and speeds up the overall installation workflow on both residential and light commercial jobs.

The MALCO 52793 is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC duct installation and service work. It handles the cutting demands of flexible insulated duct commonly run between plenums, trunks, and supply or return air registers. The tool is used during new construction rough-in, retrofit changeouts, and service calls where damaged duct sections require replacement. HVAC installers and service technicians carry this shear as part of a standard sheet metal and flexible duct toolkit.

Key Features

• Purpose-built blade geometry for clean cuts through flexible duct outer jacket, insulation, and inner liner
• Single-motion shear action reduces tearing and deformation at cut ends
• Designed for use on insulated flexible ductwork common in residential and light commercial HVAC systems
• Compact hand tool form factor for use in tight attic, crawlspace, and mechanical room conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hand tool for use with standard insulated flexible ductwork used in residential and light commercial HVAC duct systems.

Installation Notes

Installation and duct cutting should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or sheet metal installer following applicable mechanical codes. Shut down and lock out the air handling system before cutting or modifying duct sections in an active system. Inspect the cut end for uniform edges before securing the duct to a collar or boot with approved clamps and mastic or foil tape per local code requirements.
