Review: Strong and Precise! - Works perfectly for sheet metal projects. Sturdy and well-made, definitely a quality tool.” Review: High quality tool - Way way better than the Weiss folding tool I had before which had soft corners that would clam up after every fall. I have dropped the Malco just as many times as my old Weiss and it is still as straight as it was on day 1. The Malco always gives me perfect edges. It is worth the few dollars extra in price. ## Features - 12 inch folding tool, creates 3/8" and 1" fold depths in ductwork. - Folding seams are formed from two steel halves, permanently joined together. - Handy sight holes ensure proper depth alignment. - 1 in.

Sturdy and well-made, definitely a quality tool.” ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality tool *by A***N on November 14, 2025* Way way better than the Weiss folding tool I had before which had soft corners that would clam up after every fall. I have dropped the Malco just as many times as my old Weiss and it is still as straight as it was on day 1. The Malco always gives me perfect edges. It is worth the few dollars extra in price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Malco 12F 12 in. Folding Tool - Malco 24F 24 in.
