    Description

    Your search for a light, versatile, and modular bending tool is over: look no further than the professional-grade Metal Benders by Malco!

    • Form 0-100° bends on straight or curved panels of any length on the jobsite, without waiting on wholesale rollformers. 
    • Metal Benders by Malco are designed or bends on flashing, roofing details, standing seam and exposed fastener metal roofing.
    • Malco's Metal Benders are available in five single-station models:
      • Narrow, 75mm (FS1N75)
      • Narrow, 165mm (FS1N165)
      • Wide, 165mm (FS1W165)
      • Wide, 215mm (FS1W215)
      • Wide, 365mm (FS1W365)
    • Narrow bearing stance models follow curved panels easily or form straight bends when needed. 
    • Wide bearing stance models provide more control for straighter bends. 
    • Both variations may be paired with a Bender Connector (FSC1) for a modular experience, allowing pros to customize their set-up in a one or two station configuration.
    • Metal Benders have adjustable rollers for different thicknesses and materials, and the exclusive angles roller avoids scratching material on 90°bends.
    • It can also be customized by replacing the angled roller with the optional 2mm Large Radius Accessory (FSLR) for "softer" bends in materials like copper, zinc, and aluminum.
    • Malco's Metal Benders are built tough with premium CNC aluminum and stainless-steel components for more durability and stability, allowing for more precise and higher quality bends.

    Features:

    • Narrow bearing stance models (75mm & 165mm) follow curved panels easily or form straight bends when needed.
    • Wide bearing stance models (165mm, 215mm and 365mm) provide more control for straighter bends.
    • Both narrow & wide variations may be paired with a Bender Connector (FSC1) for a modular experience, allowing trade pros to "freestyle" their set-up, in a one or two station configuration.
    • Adjustable roller spacing accommodates a wide range of materials.
      • Roller spacing adjustable from 0.5mm - 1mm
      • Capacity of materials: 24 ga steel, 26 ga stainless steel, 0.40" aluminum, 20 oz. copper, 1 mm zinc.
    • Exclusive angled roller doesn't scratch material on 90° bends.
    • Optional 2 mm Large Radius Accessory (FSLR) allows for "softer" bends in materials like copper, zinc, and aluminum.
    • Quick setup, lightweight and highly portable, with a removable Handle (FSH2) for compact storage. 
    • Premium CNC, aluminum and stainless-steel components are built tough, resist corrosion and make the product more stable for precise bends. 

    FAQs

    Q: What’s the difference between the wide-body and the narrow-body?

    A: The narrow stance model is better for making curved or more detailed bends, but the wide stance design is better for making long, straight bends.

    Q: Are replacement parts available?

    A: Yes, but these products are very durable so it is unlikely you would need to replace any of the parts.

    Q: What length do you recommend?

    A: This depends on the bends you anticipate making. Larger tools can handle larger bends.

    Q: What’s different? / What makes yours better?

    A: Malco’s Metal Benders are made with premium CNC aluminum and stainless-steel components which not only makes the product more durable, but also more stable and resistant to movement, allowing for more precise bends, or higher quality bends without scratches.

    Additionally, the benders allow for easy configuration and flexibility on the jobsite by allowing the user to adjust the rollers for different thicknesses and materials. The rollers can also be customized by replacing the angled roller with our optional 2mm radius roller to allow for “softer” bends for materials like copper, zinc, and aluminum which can have problems with tighter bends.

    Malco’s Metal Benders also include exclusive features like the angled roller so you don’t scratch the material on a 90 degree bend — something most current benders on the market don’t have.

    Q: How are these different than Malco’s ER3 3-station edge roller?

    A: The ER3 has a max bend depth of 4”, where these metal benders can bend depths up to 14 3/8”. Additionally, with the rollers, you can adjust for different thickness/different materials which our current ER3 roller cannot do.

    The low profile tapered roller of the Malco Metal Bender allows you to bend mechanical lock standing seam profiles which the ER3 is not capable of making.

    Malco’s Metal Benders are also lighter (in most configurations) than ER3, and the modular nature of the product means they’re a little more versatile, too, for tackling different types of jobs.

    Q: Can the benders connect to Malco’s ER3 product?

    A: No.

    Q: What would you recommend I purchase?

    A: It depends on what you’re trying to bend (curves or straight lines), size of the bends, and frequency of use.

    Frequent users would probably be better off buying a fixed two-station Metal Bender for long runs, or a single station bender for small runs and curves. Get both if they anticipate both situations.

    Less frequent users could benefit from the modular design. Buy two single-station benders and a connector. This would be a cheaper option than buying a one- and two-station bender and allows for the ultimate in jobsite flexibility.
