Pros and cons
Pros
- The jaw markings can help set repeatable clamping depths across similar bends.
- Manual operation avoids the need for a powered bending tool.
- The claimed working range names galvanized, cold-rolled and stainless sheet metals, with gauge limits specified for each.
Cons
- A 6-inch straight jaw is a focused hand tool, rather than a substitute for a longer folding tool when broad folds are needed.
