Can be used as a general bending tool when working with mechanically locked seams in tight spots
After the first stage has been closed, this tool is useful in bending the 2nd stage down to a finish of the double lock standing seam in tight areas
OAL – 13″, 1/2″ x 1/2″ opening depth
How to Use:
After the first stage has been locked, tool clamps the profile with the handles in a straight up position. Pull the tool downward to lock the second stage.
These things are as cool as they are expensive. I suspect that they might work better with 1 1/2 seams (Most of my work is 1″) but they can still be a major help in tight corners or overhangs where you’re more worried about beating up the soffit than the metal you’re trying to work. The following link ( https://youtu.be/ztyI1zIp49Y?t=91 ) displays an interesting way to utilize these unique tongs. They may not be for everybody but they are still a worthy addition to any metal roofer’s tool-kit.
