Large Metalworking Tools Kit

Large Tool Kit – Sheet Metal & Roofing Hand Tools

A complete hand-tool set for sheet metal roofing, guttering and flashing work, supplied in a rolling tool bag. It covers the three jobs that make up most of a tinsmith’s day – cutting, folding and marking out – with professional-grade tools rather than general-purpose substitutes, so there is no need to assemble a kit piece by piece from different suppliers.

Cutting is handled by Pelican snips for general work and a matched pair of left- and right-cut compound snips for shaped and straight cuts, so curves can be followed in either direction without fighting the blade. Folding is covered by a bending tool, straight 60 mm clinching pliers for main folds and Piccolo pliers for the tight finishing bends. Marking out is done with a metal marker pen and a stainless steel scriber graduated at 5 mm intervals, with profile gauges built in.

Everything packs into a five-pocket rolling bag with a zipped side pocket – wheeled rather than carried, which matters once a full set of steel hand tools is inside it.
