Malco 16" Drip Edge Folding Tool, 1" and 1-1/2" bends in 22 Ga 16" Roofing Panels, Standing Seam Roofing Tool, Sheet Metal Bending Tool (DEFT16)
MPN: DEFT16
Minimum order quantity is .
The Malco DEFT16 16" Drip Edge Folding Tool is purpose-built for fast, reliable bending along the drip edge of standing seam metal roofing. Designed to deliver clean, consistent folds on 16-inch wide panels, it helps roofing pros create precise drip edges with less effort and less fatigue.
Two rib-reinforced steel plates are permanently welded together to form two folding seams, enabling dependable 1-inch (25.4 mm) and 1-1/2-inch (38.1 mm) bends in maximum 22-gauge (0.76 mm) steel. This rigid construction ensures repeatable results project after project, so your drip edge looks professional and seals properly against the elements.
The tool’s heavy-duty fiberglass-filled nylon handle delivers a balance of durability and lightweight leverage. It provides excellent control whether you’re working overhead on a roof or seated at a bench, helping you apply steady pressure exactly where you need it without straining your wrist or forearm.
Key benefits that set the DEFT16 apart
- Precise bends on 16" panels: specifically engineered for 16-inch-wide standing seam roofing, producing consistent drip-edge folds every time.
- Versatile bend options: handles both 1" and 1-1/2" deep folds to match common drip-edge specifications.
- Sturdy, welded construction: two rib-reinforced steel plates permanently welded together deliver rigidity and long-term reliability.
- Max 22-gauge capability: folds up to 22-gauge (0.76 mm) steel, making it ideal for typical standing seam installations and field repairs.
- Ergonomic, durable handle: fiberglass-filled nylon handle provides high leverage with reduced user fatigue for overhead or bench work.
Who should use the DEFT16
- Roofing installers working with standing seam systems that use 16" wide panels.
- Fabricators performing drip-edge fabrication or on-site adjustments in 22-gauge metal.
- Repair technicians needing a reliable tool for quick, repeatable bends without specialized bending gear.
Practical use cases and insights
- Install drip edge along the edge of a standing seam roof to ensure proper water shedding and a clean, finished appearance.
- During field repairs, quickly recreate factory-like bends to restore a panel’s edge profile without removing panels from the roof.
- On fabrication benches, prepare edge finishes for 16" wide panels to speed up installation timelines and reduce rework.
Why choose the Malco DEFT16 over improvised bending methods? It combines purpose-built geometry with durable materials to deliver repeatable results, reduce labor intensity, and extend the life of your standing seam installations. If your projects rely on precise drip-edge folds for a watertight seal and a professional look, this tool is a dedicated, long-lasting addition to your metalworking kit.
