Malco Products, SBC, got its start in 1950 when Mark W. Keymer, a young steel supply salesman, decided to manufacture and market a pipe crimper he had invented for installing the “new” sheet metal ductwork used in forced air heating systems. Today, the legacy of that exciting start-up company lives on and the early Malco tools have since been joined by hundreds of other specialty products.

Malco is dedicated to producing innovative, dependable, and high-performance hand tools at our corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility in Annandale, Minnesota.

This dedication to craftsmanship is why Malco is one of the nation’s leading solution developers and manufacturers of “tools of the trade” for HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning), RSG (Roofing, Siding, and Gutters), and fence and rail installation professionals. Malco continues building its success around service to the trades and a steady stream of new and exciting labor-saving tool designs that address an ever-changing industry landscape and respond to emerging market needs for new specializations and more customized products and services for the end-user. Our employee-owners are committed to producing tools of lasting quality and performance that promote on-the-job safety and health for hands-on pros who have come to rely on the trusted Malco brand.

Metal Benders

Bend faster, bend better with metal benders by Malco

When you need to bend on the jobsite, you need to trust that you’ll get precise bends and get them quickly.

Bend what you need, when you need it, and rest assured that you’ll be getting the exact quality you want.

Save time. Save money. Save yourself the headache of off-site bends. Bend faster with Metal Benders by Malco.

See more details.

Modular and flexible solutions for high-quality bends

These are no “next-best” benders. Metal Benders by Malco bring the best of metal bending right to the jobsite with lightweight and versatile solutions. They’re precise, highly durable and easy to use. Form 0–100-degree bends on straight or curved panels of any length. Available in five single-station models, you can connect two single stations to quickly form a double-station configuration without purchasing a whole new tool. Designed for bends on flashing, roofing details, standing seam and exposed fastener metal roofing, these benders are as versatile as you can get. Easily adjust the rollers to handle different thicknesses and materials, all without scratching material on 90-degree bends with Malco’s exclusive angled roller.

Explore the benefits.

What to expect from Malco's metal benders

• Choose a narrow-bearing stance model for perfect bends on curved panels or a wide-bearing stance model for high levels of control for straight bends. Pair both variations with a bender connector to “freestyle” your setup in a one- or two-station configuration.
• Easily adjust the roller spacing to accommodate a wide range of materials, including 24 ga steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and zinc.
• Avoid scratches on 90-degree bends with our exclusive angled roller. And if you need softer bends, swap in the Large Radius Accessory to make it a breeze. To top it off, they’re quick to set up, lightweight and highly portable with removable handles for compact storage.
• Best of all, they’re built tough with premium CNC, aluminum and stainless-steel components to resist corrosion, provide top-notch stability and last a lifetime.

Take a look.

Modular Metal Benders

Your search for a light, versatile, and modular bending tool is over: look no further than the professional-grade Metal Benders by Malco!

Form 0-100° bends on straight or curved panels of any length on the jobsite, without waiting on wholesale rollformers. Metal Benders by Malco are designed for bends on flashing, roofing details, standing seam and exposed fastener metal roofing.

Malco’s Metal Benders are available in five single-station models:

• Narrow, 75mm (FS1N75)

• Narrow, 165mm (FS1N165)

• Wide, 165mm (FS1W165)

• Wide, 215mm (FS1W215)

• Wide, 365mm (FS1W365)

Narrow bearing stance models follow curved panels easily or form straight bends when needed. Wide bearing stance models provide more control for straighter bends. Both variations may be paired with a Bender Connector (FSC1) for a modular experience, allowing pros to customize their set-up in a one or two station configuration. Metal Benders have adjustable rollers for different thicknesses and materials, and the exclusive angled roller avoids scratching material on 90° bends. It can also be customized by replacing the angled roller with the optional 2mm Large Radius Accessory (FSLR) for “softer” bends in materials like copper, zinc, and aluminum. Malco’s Metal Benders are built tough with premium CNC aluminum and stainless-steel components for more durability and stability, allowing for more precise and higher quality bends.
