A piece of undersill trim works just as nicely

I like to match the PVC coil, especially if it's a color.

You can make a half inch bend if you have a good brake that's adjusted right.
On the first mark just make a crease. Turn the peace over to the second mark and make a full 90 on it. Then turn the peace back over to the crease and finish that bend.
I put the half inch bend on door stops all the time this way.

Okay, here's one not well taken care of, along with the tree that tried to put it out of its misery. I think it's about 15-16 years old, and never got an ounce of respect until I got it.
Children and sensitive people should leave the room now.

Surprisingly enough, the old gal still does a pretty good job. And for a bonus, she ain't too likely to get stolen.

Yessir, you don't realize how much a piece-o-s#!t tool is worth to you 'till it's gone.

Oh, great. 
I do lock it to a tree or whatever's handy when I leave it onsite.
OTOH, some years back when it still belonged to the GC (and was just as ugly as now), the guys left it set up on horses at a site, no locks, no nothing. Come Monday morning, the brake was still there, but the horses were gone.

It teleported itself just far enough away from the main trunk of that tree (and two others just as large) so that it only got nailed by a branch as big as my waist. I couldn't even get close enough to it for pics until everything was cleaned up.
The crying shame is that the HO had no insurance, and we were well on the way to getting her house fixed up enough that she'd be able to get some. Long story, but basically, new hubby moved in, wrecked the place with unfinished projects, and just let it rot for 12+ years.
