18" HVAC Sheet Metal Folding Tool

New!
CTH18FT
The Crescent Wiss 18" HVAC Sheet Metal Folding Tool is designed for HVAC technicians, sheet metal fabricators, and mechanical contractors who need precise, repeatable bends when fabricating ductwork. Built from durable steel construction, it features dual folding depths of 3/8" and 1" for forming drive cleats, register boots, plenums, end caps, and other sheet metal components. Its 18-inch length provides an ideal balance between maneuverability and bending capacity, making it well suited for both shop fabrication and jobsite installation work. The dual-channel design helps maintain consistent bend depth and alignment across a variety of HVAC fabrication applications.
  • Features
    • Commonly used for folding channels and making long uniform bends in sheet metal
    • Ideal for folding drive cleat channels with 3/8" depth to make longer wider folds in register boots, end caps, plenums, etc.
    • Depth adjustability allows you to bent 1", 1/2" and 3/8" for single bends and 1/2" for double bends
    • Constructed of heavy 16 gauge steel that keeps folding channels from widening and ensures precise and accurate bends
