A drip edge bender is a tool commonly used in the roofing industry to create clean, precise bends in metal drip edges. Drip edges are essential components in roofing systems as they help to direct water away from the fascia and prevent water damage to the structure of the roof. The drip edge bender allows roofers to accurately shape the metal material to fit the contours of the roof, ensuring a tight seal and optimal drainage. This tool is particularly useful in situations where custom drip edges are required, as it can easily bend metal to the desired angle and shape, providing a tailored solution for each roofing project.

The drip edge bender operates by using a series of rollers and levers to manipulate the metal material into the desired shape. By adjusting the settings on the bender, roofers can create a variety of angles and bends, ensuring a perfect fit for the drip edge. The precision and efficiency of the drip edge bender make it a valuable tool for roofers looking to streamline their workflow and achieve professional results. Additionally, the ability to customize drip edges on-site eliminates the need for pre-fabricated pieces, saving time and money on roofing projects. Overall, the drip edge bender is a versatile and indispensable tool for any roofing professional seeking to enhance the quality and durability of their installations.

The high leverage Drip Edge Benders are designed to make 1″ or 1½” bends in metal panel edges for standing seam roofing applications. Constructed from a lightweight 14 gauge mild steel, this tool can easily be used overhead on installed panels to bend up to 18 gauge material. The high quality spot welding between plates and heat-treated Primegrip green powder-coated finish provides an excellent combination of strength and durability to keep your tool performing longer.
