Featuring rib-reinforced steel plates and a fiberglass reinforced nylon handle, it offers durable, weather-resistant performance for both on-bench and installed panel work. Lightweight yet robust, this tool ensures fast, consistent bends with minimal effort, backed by a limited lifetime warranty. ## Description Product Description Versatile, compact 24-inch (61cm) drip edge folding tool makes quick bends along the drip edge of flat-pan standing seam metal roofing panels. Two rib-reinforced steel plates are permanently welded together to create two folding seams for making 1-inch (25.4 mm) and 1-1/2-inch (38.1 mm) deep bends in maximum 22-gauge (0.76 mm) steel. A two-post-design, fiberglass reinforced nylon handle offers durable, lightweight strength and high leverage for working overhead or on a bench. From the Manufacturer The High Leverage Drip Edge Folding Tool (DEFT) uses durable lighweight steel and aluminum construction with weather-resistent finishes for making quick bends in standing seam panel edges. The DEFT works on installed panels or on the workbench for pre-bending panels. The DEFT makes up to 1-1/2" deep bends along the drip edge of the roofing panel. Review: Works great and durable - Like most things Malco make it’s a steep price but it definitely does the job it’s designed to do and so far it has held up to being stepped on, dropped numerous times, thrown into my unorganized dangerously overcrowded toolbox (which has been the demise of a lot of lesser quality tools of mine). So all in all I definitely recommend the tool if you’re in the market for a professional grade folding tool. The handle adds tremendous leverage to help make your bends (on 24 ga panels in my case). Review: Heavy duty! - Well made, heavy duty tool! I’ve been using it for a few months now and love it. ## Features - High Leverage, Two Post Handle Design - Rib-Reinforced Steel Plate Construction - Lightweight Strength - Bends up to 22-gauge steel - Two folding seams 1 inch and 1 1/2 inch ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0014E9WJG | | Best Sellers Rank | #637,957 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #851 in Rebar Cutters & Benders | | Brand | Malco | | Brand Name | Malco | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 144 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00686046532325 | | Included Components | Two rib-reinforced steel plates, Fiberglass reinforced nylon handle | | Item Dimensions L x W | 24.02"L x 6.3"W | | Item Type Name | Malco DEFT 24 in.

I’ve been using it for a few months now and love it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid tool, well built *by N***G on October 20, 2023* Malco DEFT 24 in. Drip Edge Folding Tool is a valuable addition for anyone involved in metal roofing. Its robust build and precision bending capabilities make it a go-to tool for achieving clean and efficient results, especially when bending metal roofing over the drip edge. Highly recommended for professionals and DIYers alike. Lighter grade metal will fit loosely in the slot as this is made to accommodate heavy gauge sheets, performance isn’t affected. ## Frequently Bought Together - Malco DEFT 24 in.
