Malco

If you are looking for a tool that efficiently downsizes the corners of aluminum or steel downspout, then the Malco 5-Blade Gutter Crimper is the tool you are looking for. The blades produce 1-1/4 inch (31.75mm) long double crimps without causing the deformation of downspout walls. A factory-like crimp ensures the downspout walls stay square for a tight-fitting, leak-proof connection. A handle closing stop helps to maintain a consistent crimp profile. Made with hardened all-steel construction and a nickel-chrome finish, you can be assured this tool will last a long time. Added power and comfort is also achieved with RedLine Handle technology. The handle opening of the Gutter Crimper compliments the natural power stroke of any user's hand and maximizes the powerful 7:1 mechanical advantage of the compound-leverage head to handle linkage. Every handle is made with non-slip grip inserts, comfortable Handle grip contours, spring handle actuation and a thumb-operated handle latch. All of these qualities ensure a natural fit and feel for comfortable one-hand operation.

Equip yourself with only the best during HVAC installation with the Malco 5-Blade Sheet Metal Crimper. Each crimp from this tool creates long, shallow double crimps that replicate factory indentations. These longer shallower crimps result in a tighter fitting, more self-supporting, leak-proof connection. Made with nickel plating to help resist corrosion and hardened steel for greater strength and resistance to abuse. The Malco 5-Blade Sheet Metal Crimper also features comfortable ergonomic RedLine Handles. These handles offer non-slip handle grip contours, spring handle actuation and a thumb-operated handle latch. The engineered handle opening of the tool compliments the natural power stroke of any user’s hand.

Malco Products, SBC got its start in 1950 when a young steel supply salesman, Mark W. Keymer, decided to manufacture and market a pipe crimper he had invented for use in installing the “new” sheet metal ductwork used with forced air heating systems. More tools soon followed, including the first hand seamer to employ compound leverage, a time saving hand notcher that made a V-shaped cut in one motion and a hand operated, snap lock punch to complete the basic sheet metal tool set.
