💪 Efficient Malco C5R 5-Blade Pipe Crimper: Optimal Crimping for Superior Pipe Connections Review

I bought these to add to my toolbox when I need them and didn't have a pair. So I have not used this model/brand for duct work before. They look good, feel good and have a lock on the handle for storage. Looks like they will do the trick if I need another pair. The price was good so I went ahead and bought them.

After buying a new hood I had to modify the vent above it by adding a 7" to 6" adapter and shortening the vent section. This tool did an excellent job of bending the steel so it could slide into another 6" vent section.

I didn't like anything but it was a bit difficult to curl due to my age and arthritis. I don't know exactly how many older people climb ladders and work on gutters, but maybe your engineering department? can change the pivot setting so that less force is required to crimp metals. Maybe make the handles a little longer or even adjust the jaws differently. Perhaps a hand grip test to determine how much strength the average elderly person needs to exert enough strength to do their job better. Many

Can you love a crimping tool? Now that I've used this one, I have to say yes. I really didn't want to spend money on a tool just to insert one tube into another, so I tried crimping with ordinary pliers. After failing at this for about an hour, I ended up with a bent sheet metal guard that didn't YET fit into the feed pipe. So I broke down and bought this instrument. It really was more money than I wanted to spend, but it's premium quality, made in the USA (love the little window cut into the…
