Malco 52247 Seam Folding Tool 18 in 3/8 in 1 in

Product Description

The MALCO 52247 is an 18-inch seam folding tool designed for sheet metal ductwork fabrication and HVAC installation work. It folds seams at both 3/8 inch and 1 inch widths, giving technicians two of the most common seam profiles in a single hand tool. Built for repeated use on the job site, this tool helps sheet metal workers and HVAC mechanics produce clean, consistent folds without the need for a brake or bench equipment. It is a standard piece of equipment for residential and light commercial duct fabrication.

The MALCO 52247 is suited for sheet metal shops and field installers working with rectangular duct systems, fittings, and plenums. Its 18-inch working length allows coverage across standard duct panel widths. Technicians who fabricate or modify ductwork on-site will find the dual seam width capability useful when matching existing seam profiles or following specific job requirements.
