Review: Works great for PVC flashing too - I had to make and install a good number of identical PVC flashing pieces for a pressure treated outdoor structure. This tool made it much, much easier and yielded an accurate and repeatable bend in PVC. Worked perfectly. Do know that it is intended to give a flange of a set width. The angle can certainly be varied but it isn't, by nature, that easy to make a flange of lesser width and still be accurate. For me, this was a plus as I got identical flanges all down the line so the job looks very even and professional. It also wouldn't tend to matter if one was doing fully folded over edging or similar. Good sturdy simple tool.
Review: Works as intended - I used this to add drive hems to square ducting. Worked great. I dont think it would be possible with any other tool
