It stands up to the task, and it works! How about that? Review: Essential Standing Seam Tool - 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. ## Features - Makes up to 1-1/2" (38.1 mm) deep bends along drip edge of roofing panel. - Rib-Reinforced Steel Plate Construction - High Leverage, Two Post Handle Design - Durable lightweight steel and aluminum construction with weather-resistant finishes! - For quick bends in standing seam panel edges ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00KFQ3M1S | | Best Sellers Rank | #175,594 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #192 in Carpentry Squares | | Brand | Malco | | Brand Name | Malco | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 236 Reviews | | Folded Size | 6.25 x 6.25 x 0.76 mm | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00686046542805 | | Included Components | Sheet | | Item Dimensions | 18 x 6.25 x 4.5 inches | | Item Type Name | Other hand tools | | Item Weight | 3.24 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 18 x 6.25 x 4.5 inches | | Manufacturer | Malco | | Manufacturer Part Number | DEFT1 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Lifetime Warranty | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Number | DEFT1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | UPC | 686046542805 | ## Product Details - **Color:** Grey - **Material:** Metal - **Brand:** Malco - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 6.25 x 0.82 x 0.51 inches - **Item Weight:** 0.15 Pounds ## Images ![DEFT1 18 Inch USA Made Drip Edge Folding Tool For Standing Seam Roofing Panels - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51uOItkhGQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works goide! *by R***. on May 23, 2025* Very good tool!

I could not find this tool in the correct width for my project so I bought this 18 inch one and cut it down to fit. It worked perfectly and cutting it down caused no issues with the tool. I would say 15-7/16 inches is about as narrow as you can go on this tool without cutting into the handle. ## Frequently Bought Together - Malco DEFT1 18 Inch USA Made Drip Edge Folding Tool For Standing Seam Roofing Panels - Malco DEFT 24 in.
