Overview The Malco 24" Standing Seam Folding Tool (DEFT24) is designed for making precise bends along the drip edge of standing seam metal roofing panels. Specification Detail MPN DEFT24 Brand Malco Working Width 24 inches Fold Depth Options 1 inch (25.4 mm) and 1-1/2 inch (38.1 mm) Maximum Material Gauge 22 gauge (0.76 mm) steel Plate Construction Rib-reinforced steel, permanently welded Handle Material Fiberglass-filled reinforced nylon Technical Features Two permanently welded, rib-reinforced steel plates — Creates two distinct folding seams for consistent 1" and 1-1/2" bend depths without plate flex or misalignment. Maximum 22-gauge (0.76 mm) steel capacity — Accommodates standard standing seam metal roofing panel thicknesses without requiring secondary tooling. Dual fold-depth configuration — Offers 1-inch (25.4 mm) and 1-1/2-inch (38.1 mm) bend options in a single tool, reducing the need to swap equipment mid-task. Fiberglass-filled reinforced nylon handle — Delivers a lightweight yet structurally durable grip that provides high leverage whether working overhead or at a bench. 24-inch working width — Matched specifically to standard 24" standing seam roofing panels for full-width, single-pass bends. Ergonomic handle design — High-leverage geometry reduces user strain during repetitive overhead bending operations. Applications Forming drip edge bends on 24" standing seam metal roofing panels Creating 1-inch and 1-1/2-inch seam folds in steel up to 22 gauge Overhead roofing work and bench-based panel fabrication Metal roofing installation requiring precise, repeatable edge folds
