Rau 116 Small Metal Crimping Tool

Rau Systems 116 Metal Crimping Tool

Simple tool to create metal roof transitions and crimps

The Rau Systems 116 tool is used to crimp metal. Such crimps can be used to create what's called "pig's ears", a technique of bending metal in a waterproof method with no cuts.
On metal roof transitions cuts can be avoided by bending the standing seams correctly with this crimper. This tool can also be used to create the box part of a panel that sits inside a J channel or Z channel.
For drip pans, or copper pans, using this tool allows for creating corners without the need of cuts or soldering. Ideal for watertight applications.
Another use of the Rau 116 is to create crimps on corners of roof for chimney caps.
This tool is a smaller version of the Rau 115 Large crimping tool.
