FAQs
Q: Why is the downspout still loose after crimping?
A: This usually happens when there aren’t enough crimps around the full circumference. Even spacing and multiple crimps are needed to properly reduce the diameter.
Q: Can you over-crimp with this tool?
A: Yes, applying too much pressure in one spot can distort or crease the material instead of forming a clean crimp, so consistent, moderate pressure is recommended.
Q: Does this work the same on rectangular downspouts?
A: This tool is designed primarily for round pipe and downspout applications. Results on rectangular profiles may vary depending on shape and material.
