    Convert your drill into a sheet metal cutter to make quick, low-effort cuts without a separate power tool. Insert the bit on these attachments into your chuck to power the jaws, then slide the telescoping clamp over the drill body to hold them in place. They’re quick to install and remove, so you can switch between cutting and drilling. These attachments have a rotating collar that can turn the cutting head 360° to make cuts at any angle.
    Also known as scissor-blade shears, these attachments have a bottom blade that stays in place while the upper blade moves up and down, making clean cuts without deforming edges. If your tool runs at multiple speeds, the jaws do too. Choose a slow speed for curves and corners, or a fast speed for quick, straight cuts. To extend the life of the blades, adjust the clearance between the cutting jaws to suit the thickness of the material you’re cutting.
    Made from lightweight aluminum and plastic, these attachments won’t weigh down your tool, so you can make one-handed cuts. Both the width and length of the clamp are adjustable, so they can fit around most corded or cordless drills, including impact drivers. Tighten onto your drill with a thumb screw. They also include spacers for extending the clamp to fit over large drills.

    Battery-Powered Threaded Rod Cutters

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Threaded Rod Cutters. Battery-Powered Threaded Rod Cutters.
    Make clean cuts on threaded rod with the pull of a trigger. These battery-powered cutters require less time and exertion than manual threaded rod cutters and hacksaws, so they’re good for construction and other jobs with lots of cuts; a single battery charge cuts about 350 rods. Since you’re not tethered to an outlet, you can cut rod that’s already installed.
    Unlike tools that cut with a fast-moving blade, such as circular saws, these cutters have a die that cuts smoothly and leaves no burrs. These dies won’t bind and seize or send sparks and chips flying. To switch between threaded rod sizes, just rotate the cutting die.
