Malco C5A2RD EV TurboCrimper Replacement Drive Shaft for Malco C5A2 Power Assisted Crimper

The shaft on our Malco duct crimper broke off. We got this replacement because the crimper block works great with our impact drill and saves time, plus saves our hands. We've had it for about a month now. Was easy to replace in the block. Great instructions. Hoping that it holds up well.

Easy

IM as a sheet metal worker,it's important to have a tools to improve my performance and efficiency of my duties wile I'm installing hvac products this tool I thought would help me to improve it but unfortunately it is just a junk of tool it breaks as soon you start to crimp the pipe dosent matter what gauge the drill attachment it's really poor quality,don't waste your money thinking it work because you will spend time plus money trying to fix MALCO Problem (manufacturers)

Replace the broken one

Little expensive, only reason I see why it cost so much is it had a shoulder on it as u can tell by photo so next time instead of ordering this item will just use a 5/16 chuck an will just be able to take it out of the crimper instead of always being in it

The shaft that came with my block lasted a long time when it finally snapped I ordered two of these one only lasted a week. The second has held up for maybe a month now and is still holding on. I noticed that when you search for the replacement they have one for around $80 and then they have this for $22 so what's the difference?

I brought these as a replacement shaft for the crimp tool. Two have snapped in a two week period. I believe it's me and the gauge of metal. So basically the took alone isn't ideal for a commercial sheet metal mechanic.

I give the replacement shaft 5 stars but the actual crimping tool its self is best as a paperweight
