Sturdy and well-made, definitely a quality tool.” ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy duty *by B***L on July 8, 2025* Heavy duty and functionality should hold its shape over time even with plier use. The size is manageable but not for long runs. Only 12". Price is a tad high but easy to use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for sheet metal fabrication. *by O***O on November 10, 2025* I’m in the pest control industry and I do rodent and wildlife exclusions. This helps with bending or manipulating the sheet metal to fit tight spaces. I typically use a breaker and other folding tools but this gives you that little extra flexibility that you need. ## Frequently Bought Together - Malco 12F 12 in. Folding Tool - Malco 24F 24 in.
