Standing Seam
More standing seam roofs are being installed than ever before. As a roofing contractor, being outfitted with specialty oriented standing seam tools is imperative to quoting jobs. With the right tools, you can beat out competitors quotes by being able to not only do the job faster, but do it better. Do you own the lightest, strongest style double seamer? Is your tinner’s hammer old and marring material? Do your first and second stage locker need an upgrade? Proper tools —> Improved Work –> Better Reputation —> More Jobs = $$$$. Shop Stortz for a first class offering of sheet metal tools.

Sheet Metal Benders
Sheet metal benders have become an essential tool to the professional tinsmith. These types of tools act as portable brakes and allow the worker to bend metal onsite without having to rely on a heavy brake in the back of the truck or in the shop. Some benders are especially adept at making 90° bends for flashing, while others are useful when working with radii and curves. There are even hemmers which take your metal from 90° to 180° for various types of locks. Stop feeling restricted to the shop for bending metal and begin bending metal anywhere.
Stortz Perfect Benders
Most benders on the market start to create unsightly scratches on metal when they turn up to 90°. This is because the bearings start to rub against the metal. Stortz benders provide clean bends past 90° without making marks on the material because the bearing is offset. Other advantages are scribed marks in imperial and metric system, control of the bearing spacing for various gauge metals, and stainless steel construction. The products come complete with a heavy duty Stortz Canvas bag that can be used for a convenient carrying case for any other tools you may have as well. BENDER INFO PAGE

Snips
What Rockwell hardness are your snips? Don’t know? That’s probably why you are replacing snips more often than you should be. Replacing snips often means two things 1) Spending more money than you have to 2) Using a pair of dull snips because you don’t want to replace them. Do yourself a favor and read our guide for additional purchasing info, shop our wide range of sheet metal snips, and then buy a pair that will last longer and do better work than you are used to.
