The powerful 24-inch (61 cm) 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.
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.
