HURRICANE 3inch Sheet Metal Hand Seamer, Heavy Duty Bender for Metal Flattening, Precision Duckbill Pliers and Sheet Metal Tongs, Ideal for HVAC Projects, Ergonomic Straight Flat Smooth Jaw

I purchased this for a fraction of the cost of the tool I was going to buy. Quality canvas stretching plyers are difficult to locate and the ones that are high quality are close to 90 dollars for what equates to sheet metal plyers. Works great and quality of the tool is much higher than most of the plyers and less expensive than the higher quality canvas stretchers I could find. What makes those worth 90 and this one 25, putting canvas stretcher in the name apparently.

I needed to bend some thin aluminum sheets for a home project. I could have maybe gotten away with using a board as a straight edge and a hammer, but this was helpful and gave me a nice clean result. The quality seems good and it worked as expected.

Comfortable grips, works with ease, beats having to pay $60 for a pair from somewhere else that will do the same thing, they work just as well as the more expensive brands, would recommend buying a pair

Heavy duty construction. Love this tool.

Very nice tool. Sturdy and well-made. The jaws are 1 inch with 1/4” guide markers on each side to enable an even crimp. I have bent, aluminum, flashing, hardware, cloth, and windows screen. This still worked well on all these materials. Will be trying 22 gauge copper next. I will update this review if the tool does not work for that gauge. I am a 73 year-old handy-woman with arthritis in my hands. This tool was not a problem to use. Well designed grip helped with leverage.

I needed an easy way to flatten edges of small leather patches I was making. Leather was cut on a laser, then stamped with design. My design left a raised edge around the 400 token/patches. These worked great for flattening the edges. Very strong and good quality.

Light and easy to use, No problem So far

The tool works well, but the design of the lock to keep it in closed position is poor. The lock lever bears against one of the sides of a hex head bolt which connects the handle to the jaw. If the bolt rotates even slightly as the tool is used the lock will not engage until the bolt is rotated slightly. This requires using pliers to rotate it, and this happens almost every time I use it.
