Klein Tools 86552 Offset Hand Seamer 3.25 Inches

Product Description

The KLEIN TOOLS 86552 is an offset hand seamer designed for bending, folding, and seaming sheet metal in HVAC ductwork fabrication and sheet metal installation. The offset jaw design gives the tool clearance to work along seams and edges that straight-jaw seamers cannot reach. The jaw opening measures 3.25 inches, making it suited for standard residential and light commercial duct work. Sold as a single unit, the 86552 is a hand-carried field tool used daily by sheet metal workers and HVAC installers on new construction and service calls alike.

This offset hand seamer is used in sheet metal shops and in the field for forming and closing duct seams, bending flanges, and dressing edges on galvanized steel, aluminum, and similar light-gauge sheet materials. It is well suited for residential HVAC ductwork installations where tight clearances require the offset jaw profile to access a finished seam. HVAC technicians and sheet metal fabricators working on supply and return plenums, transitions, and takeoffs will find the 3.25-inch jaw width appropriate for standard gauge duct work.

Installation Notes

The 86552 is a hand tool requiring no power source or fasteners. Sheet metal workers and HVAC technicians should wear cut-resistant gloves when working with sheet metal edges. Always deburr and inspect cut sheet edges before seaming to avoid tool damage and personal injury. Follow applicable SMACNA standards and local mechanical codes for duct seam construction requirements.
