Sheet Metal Question..Malco Or Wuko?

tc70518

I'm new to sheet metal. I've been in the awning industry for 15 years, but until now have only dealt with fabric covered awnings. I am venturing into standing seam awnings, and I'm looking for a handheld bending tool. Two I have found so far are the Malco Edge Roller and the Wuko Uni and Duo Benders. They all seem really effective in making standing seams without having to purchase an expensive roll former. Does anyone have any experience with these tools, or have a different one to suggest? Thank you in advance!

It seems to me you can never go wrong with Malco, I have never heard of the other.

N.A. Bocker I believe has a tool similar to those mentioned. They were the first to have the tool type. pretty sure.

I have the malco edge roller and have had it for several years. Its okay but there are probably better tools now. If I could redo the purchase I would.

The Wuko is what NA Bocker sells. I've got one that I seldom use. Not a wise purchase on my part.

dont just go for the cheap ones but go for the quality and availability of the products. having good review isn't to be discounted also.

can't you just buy the metal pre formed?
