Precision and efficiency are paramount for roofing professionals when working with metal panels. Malco Tools has long been a trusted name in the industry, offering high-quality solutions designed for demanding job sites. Malco’s Metal Bender line is an essential collection of tools tailored for roofing applications, providing versatility and accuracy to streamline metalworking tasks.
Why Choose Malco’s Metal Benders for Roofing?
Malco’s Metal Benders are designed to create precise bends ranging from 0° to 100° on straight panels of any length. These tools eliminate the need for off-site fabrication, allowing professionals to make accurate modifications directly at the job site. This improves efficiency and reduces downtime, making them an invaluable asset for roofing professionals.
Versatile Bending Capabilities
Malco’s 2-Station Metal Roofing Benders offer a unique advantage, allowing for seamless and precise bending of roofing panels. Available in three sizes: 150 mm (FS2F150), 200 mm (FS2F200), and 350 mm (FS2F350). These benders cater to numerous roofing applications, from simple bends to complex profiles.
These benders also feature adjustable roller spacing, ranging from 0.5 mm to 1 mm, to accommodate various material thicknesses. This flexibility ensures that roofing professionals can work with various metals, including steel, aluminum, copper, zinc, and stainless steel.
Modular Design for Customization
Malco’s Metal Benders are built modular, allowing users to configure them according to their needs. The Bender Connector (FSC1) enables the combination of multiple benders into one- or two-station setups, enhancing their adaptability for different roofing projects.
For added precision, the angled roller design prevents scratching on materials during 90° bends, preserving the integrity and aesthetic of the panels. The 2 mm Large Radius Accessory (FSLR) is also available for applications requiring softer bends in materials like copper, zinc, and aluminum.
Durability and Portability
Constructed from CNC-machined aluminum and stainless steel, Malco’s Metal Benders are built for longevity and resistance to corrosion. Despite their robust build, they remain lightweight for easy transport between job sites. The removable handle (FSH2) further enhances portability and allows for compact storage.
Enhanced Efficiency with Disc Benders
Malco’s Metal Disc Benders offers an effective solution for roofing professionals who require additional bending capabilities. These tools feature removable discs for quick disassembly and mid-panel tool removal, providing exceptional flexibility. The disc benders create bends ranging from 5/16″ to 1 3/4″ (8 mm to 45 mm) on straight or curved panels, making them a perfect addition to any roofer’s toolkit.
Power Assisted Seamer and Cutter
The new Malco Power Assisted Seamer and Cutter products will make your metal roofing removal and installation jobs more effortless. They’re the fastest cutters and seamers available in the market and deliver unmatched worksite portability thanks to their lightweight, compact design. Attach the power-assisted seamer or cutter to your cordless drill and go.
The cutter comes in 1.5” (FSXC) and 2” (FSXC2) models and is designed to cut below the mechanical lock and through clips, allowing for fast and easy removal.
The seamer also comes in 1.5” (FSXS) and 2” (FSXS2) models and is used to mechanically seam panels on standing seam installs. These products pair perfectly with our Standing Seam Hand Seamers to close mechanical lock panels by hand.
