Key specifications

• Tool type: roofer's/metal roofing pliers with combined gripping, bending and cutting functions
• Intended materials: thin sheet metal, flashing, nails and light fastening elements
• Jaw design: flat and shaped surfaces for bending and folding metal edges
• Cutting edge: integrated for cutting small nails and wires
• Handles: ergonomic grips for improved control during prolonged use

How to use

Hold the pliers by the handles with a secure, comfortable grip. Use the flat or shaped jaws to grip and bend metal edges progressively, making small folds until the desired angle is reached. Position the cutting edge against the nail, wire or fastening element and apply steady pressure to cut cleanly; avoid cutting hardened or large-diameter fasteners not suited to the tool. For precise work, clamp the sheet metal close to the bend point and make incremental adjustments rather than forcing large folds at once.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Do not apply excessive force beyond the tool's intended use, and avoid cutting hardened steel or bolts to prevent damage. Keep the cutting edge clean and periodically check for wear; sharpen or replace the tool if cutting or bending performance decreases.
