Works great and durable
Like most things Malco make it’s a steep price but it definitely does the job it’s designed to do and so far it has held up to being stepped on, dropped numerous times, thrown into my unorganized dangerously overcrowded toolbox (which has been the demise of a lot of lesser quality tools of mine). So all in all I definitely recommend the tool if you’re in the market for a professional grade folding tool. The handle adds tremendous leverage to help make your bends (on 24 ga panels in my case).

Solid tool, well built
Malco DEFT 24 in. Drip Edge Folding Tool is a valuable addition for anyone involved in metal roofing. Its robust build and precision bending capabilities make it a go-to tool for achieving clean and efficient results, especially when bending metal roofing over the drip edge. Highly recommended for professionals and DIYers alike. Lighter grade metal will fit loosely in the slot as this is made to accommodate heavy gauge sheets, performance isn’t affected.

Best hemming tool I have found
This is a high quality tool made in America that I highly recommend. I own several other hemming tools and this one is by far my favorite. This tool allows me to make consistent hems on both straight and diagonal cut roof panels witease and precision. I have made hundreds of panels (24g) with this tool and I love it!

Bit pricey, but well built and works great!
Bought this to install stainless gutter guards - works great for bending them cleanly! Will use it for bending standing seam roofing, which is its' primary role in the next few months.

Nice tool that would benefit from a handle with more leverage.
Nicely made and finished. I would have liked a longer handle for better leverage (less effort on my part). It works well for folding but you need to be careful to ensure the sheet metal roofing stays fully in the appropriate grove when folding over.
