Wuko 1010180 Sheet Metal Heavy Duty Clinching Pliers 45° Bent

The WUKO 1010180 Heavy Duty Clinching Pliers 45° Bent are professional handheld sheet metal forming pliers designed for bending, gripping, folding, and adjusting sheet metal edges. Featuring 4" wide jaws angled at 45° and durable lap-joint construction, these heavy-duty pliers provide the strength and control needed for demanding metal roofing, flashing fabrication, and architectural sheet metal applications.

The 45° bent jaw configuration allows operators to reach difficult working areas while maintaining a practical hand position. With an approximately 2-1/2" insertion depth, the WUKO 1010180 is particularly useful for forming metal around roof pitch transitions, corners, wall flashings, and other architectural details where straight-jaw pliers may be difficult to position.

Designed for professional metal roofing contractors, gutter installers, HVAC technicians, and sheet metal fabricators, these pliers combine broad forming jaws with heavy-duty lap-joint construction. Their approximately 11-1/2" overall length provides leverage for controlled manual forming in workshop and jobsite environments.
