A drip edge bender is a tool used in the roofing industry to create a drip edge for roofs. The drip edge is a piece of metal that is installed along the edges of a roof to prevent water from seeping under the shingles and causing damage to the roof structure. The drip edge bender works by bending sheets of metal to the desired angle, allowing roofers to create custom drip edges for each project. This tool is essential for ensuring the proper installation of drip edges, which are crucial for protecting the integrity of a roof and preventing water damage.

Using a drip edge bender requires knowledge and skill in metalworking and roofing techniques. Roofers must understand the importance of drip edges in preventing water damage and be able to use the bender effectively to create accurate and durable drip edges. Additionally, proper training and safety precautions are necessary when using a drip edge bender to prevent accidents and injuries. Overall, the drip edge bender is a valuable tool for roofers and a key component in ensuring the longevity and integrity of roofing systems.

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.
