It stands up to the task, and it works! How about that? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential Standing Seam Tool *by S***T on June 13, 2023* Installing my 1st stand seam roof. If you’re going to wrap the ends of your panels around the drip edge, this tool is essential. I’ve only used the one inch side of this tool. It makes perfect, controlled bends. I’ve dropped this tool a bunch of times from a saw horse down to the garage floor with no bent corners. This tool is well made. When I was shopping for a bending tool, there were lots of tools contractors used, online. I’m really glad I picked this one. Tip: I also bought a Malco 6” wide hand seamer. High quality and essential, also. ## Frequently Bought Together - Malco DEFT1 18 Inch USA Made Drip Edge Folding Tool For Standing Seam Roofing Panels - Malco DEFT 24 in.
