Malco S9R Hand Seamer

If you're working with aluminum and want perfectly straight and precise bends, this is the tool. It's well designed, and, unlike less expensive seamers, the jaws tips are evenly aligned and thinner than heavy duty steel seamers, so you'll get perfect angles without any fuss. Overall the best, and worth the investment. Made in USA!

I use this on sheet aluminum about every day. It's a versatile in-between size. It doesn't seem to have loosened up to date.

This is a very well made tool with comfortable grips and good leverage. The jaws have a slight bow and compress flat to grip the material well. The edge notches are very helpful for aligning and making an even bend. The problem is that the description omits mention of the fact that it is only designed for use on aluminum roof flashing, coil stock, or fascia. Raised printing on the tool indicates that it is not intended for use on sheet metal. This is confirmed on the Malco web site, which shows capacities for their hand seamers. The S2R, S3R, and S6R can handle aluminum as well as 26 gauge stainless and 24 gauge galvanized or mild steel.

This is the best thing I can find for doing aluminum fascia and wrapping windows with aluminum. I’ve gone through 2 of these, as they do wear out eventually. I wish they were cheaper but it is what it is.

Solid build, can’t go wrong with Malco

Garbage, broke first day, it’s made out of weak metal.

large jaws marked at 1/4" intervals are great, comfortable handles and nice locking mechanism. these work great and would highly recommend the 3 1/4" and 6" ones also. they really compliment my tapco pro 50 10' 6" brake on making nice cleam bends and hemms

I got these to make pans. Able to bend sides up after using in brake but wouldn't truck to do it without that. 26g is metal I use. Not able to flatten metal since these flex. Does what I need it to but if you need something stronger get the 3 or 6in.
