Amerimax Home Products 85029 Metal Bender Pliers

Product Description

The AMERIMAX HOME PRODUCTS 85029 is a die-cast aluminum bender pliers tool designed for sheet metal forming and trim work in roofing and flashing applications. The wide-jaw design with a spring-loaded locking handle lets technicians bend or seam metal, hem edges, create step flashing, work roll flashings into custom shapes, straighten edges, and stretch fabric with consistent control. The tool ships with 3.5-inch-wide blades and is compatible with 7-inch and 10-inch accessory bender blades for expanded forming capacity. At 1.038 pounds, the lightweight aluminum construction reduces hand fatigue during repetitive use on the job site.

This tool is suited for roofing contractors, sheet metal workers, and siding installers working with flashing materials on residential and light commercial projects. It handles common tasks such as forming step flashing at roof-wall intersections, hemming cut metal edges for a finished appearance, and shaping roll flashing into custom profiles. The accessory blade compatibility makes it a versatile single-tool solution for a range of metal trim and flashing operations without requiring a dedicated brake or forming table.
