16″ Standing Seam Bending Tool

Description

Overview

The Malco 16″ Standing Seam Bending Tool (DEFT16) is designed for making precise bends along the drip edge of standing seam metal roofing panels.

Technical Features

• Dual folding seams on a single tool: Two permanently welded, rib-reinforced steel plates provide both a 1-inch and a 1-1/2-inch fold depth, eliminating the need to switch tools mid-task.
• Rib-reinforced steel plate construction: Structural ribbing maintains plate rigidity under repeated bending loads, preserving bend accuracy over the tool’s service life.
• Permanently welded plate assembly: Welded construction eliminates mechanical fasteners at the joint, reducing the risk of play or misalignment during use.
• 22-gauge maximum capacity (0.76 mm steel): Rated for standard standing seam roofing panel stock, covering the majority of residential and commercial metal roofing applications.
• Fiberglass-filled nylon handle: Combines lightweight construction with durability, reducing operator fatigue during overhead or bench-top work while providing high leverage.
• 16-inch working width: Matched specifically to 16-inch wide standing seam roofing panels for consistent, full-width bends in a single pass.

Applications

• Forming drip edge bends on 16-inch standing seam metal roofing panels
• Creating 1-inch (25.4 mm) deep folds in steel roofing material up to 22 gauge
• Creating 1-1/2-inch (38.1 mm) deep folds in steel roofing material up to 22 gauge
• Overhead roofing work where a lightweight, high-leverage tool is required
• Bench-top panel fabrication prior to installation
