🔧 Wiss Apex Group WF24 - The 24-Inch Solution for Ultimate Performance Review

This was a poorly made item. I previously bought the 18 inch version and it lined up perfectly. I was able to craft straight pens so you're far from leveling, I wouldn't recommend that to my enemy

I have a 12" Malco bend tool that works perfectly. this one did not meet the same standards. had to add extra bolts and nuts due to weak spot weld. This is probably fine for very light sheet metal, but still not as powerful as a 12-inch Malco.

I probably didn't read everything and didn't understand what exactly I bought. This bends the metal to two different predetermined depths. It's not like you can measure 4 inches and make a bend. I've used it well and it works as intended.

Worked in first trial. I needed the distance between them so I marked the length and then used the tool. It's easiest to bend the edge of the tool up rather than down. Can be folded down gradually. My first metal bending test and it worked as expected. Seemed perfect to connect the two parts. I clamped it tighter, put it between two pieces of plywood and hit it a bit with a hammer.

Used to bend full 24 inch lengths of relatively heavy gauge galvanized steel. I was worried it would take a lot of effort or produce precise turns, but this thing produced sharp turns that looked like they were made with a professional brake. This would be very handy even for pros using full-size brakes - it's a lot easier to get them out of the truck for a turn or two, and the results are just as good as with the brake.

Wiss WF24 - 24 inch Folding Tool Wiss also makes this tool in 12 inch and 18 inch widths. That said, the 24-inch model is the most useful in every respect, unless one of those shorter tools is required for a specific application (e.g., that's all that will do). used this thing on copper, aluminum and 30 gauge sheet metal with good success. This also works for shorter pieces of 26 gauge sheet metal. However, you have to be Hercules to bend a 24 inch (or wider) section of 26 (or 24) thick sheet…

The house looked good after the cladding, but the exposed wooden planks of the facade looked even uglier. I bought a few rolls of white Amerimax 12x50 waterproofing compound, cut it into 10 foot lengths and cut them in half to end up with 6"x10" lengths. With a fold of about 3/4 inch, it would just be enough for me to slip under the drip edge and still cover the boards. A manual bender that was a real pain on long bends. She did her job, and while the bends weren't sharp, she was good enough…
