Technical Features
- Adjustable Folding Depth (1 in 1-1/2 in): Accommodates varying drip edge profiles, reducing the need for multiple dedicated tools on site.
- 22-Gauge Maximum Capacity: Handles standard sheet metal gauges used in residential and commercial roofing drip edge installations without tool deflection.
- High-Leverage Design: Enables consistent, clean folds with reduced operator effort, minimizing fatigue during repetitive bending tasks.
- Two-Post Handle Design: Distributes grip force across both posts for improved control and stability throughout the folding stroke.
- Rib-Reinforced Steel Plate Construction: Structural ribbing adds rigidity to the steel plate, maintaining dimensional accuracy and extending tool service life under repeated use.
- 18-Inch Overall Length: Provides sufficient leverage arm length for full-length drip edge folds in a single, continuous pass.
- Lightweight Steel Construction: Offers the structural integrity of steel while keeping the tool manageable at 3.24 lb for extended use on the job site.
Applications
- Folding drip edge flashing on residential and commercial roofing projects
- Forming sheet metal up to 22 gauge in HVAC and sheet metal fabrication work
- Standing seam and edge bending tasks requiring precise, repeatable fold depths between 1 in and 1-1/2 in
- Job-site metal forming where portability and hand-tool operation are required
