HURRICANE 12 Inch Folding Tool, Sheet Metal Bending Tools for HVAC, Duct Bender Hand Tool, Forming Metal

This thing is great. I bought a roll of .4mm flashing to reinforce 2x4s on gates and fencing against naughty dogs. (I wanted something thick enough that they're not going to bite through and create an even worse situation.) I figured I could just staple or nail it on one side, wrap it around, and attach it on the other. Ha ha ha ha. Yeah...no. I mentioned the issue to a friend who said I need a metal brake. Okie dokie. I asked around and all I could find was an industrial-sized one 40 minutes away. So I started looking online. I found them for, like, $75 and up. Probably worth it, but...I'm on a pretty tight budget, so I kept looking and found this! Now, granted, I wanted to fold 2" and this maxes at 1", but it still works because I just wrap three sides instead of two. (Even less attractive, but possibly more durable.) And the longest stretch I need is 3' with most under 2', so this is great. Rather than the little folding tools that just do 3" at a time, most of my needs would be met in one go with this. I've only done one piece so far (the long one), but it worked perfectly. And if I ever finish this project, it'll make a great straight edge! I'm totally happy with this purchase.

Very sturdy and is exactly what it is advertised for… good bye.

Works very well and makes shaping metal to easy and very fast. This bender is heavy duty and well built.

Does the job

Good quality

Works great in a pinch. I don’t have room to store or money to buy a metal break so this is what I use for small bends. Glad to have it for misc projects.

Great tool for the homeowner or professional. I installed a new furnace and AC in my home and this came in hady for bending the metal for our transitions.

Bought back in December 2024, finally used it today and it broke within the first 2 minutes. Poor craftsmanship don’t waste your money…..

Very good tool. Thank you

Works as implied and have now used it for months with no issues

Heavy duty, I help operate a trade school and we ordered multiples of these and they hold up extremely well! 100s of apprentices go through the program and these get will used and abused and have stayed true so far

The weld or however this tool holds together, break open if used on metal thicker than 26ga, had to do some custom bends working with 24ga and it popped open.

It broke first time I used it
