Everhard MT14000 - Fairmont Seaming Tong

Built for precise forming and finish work, the Everhard MT14000 Fairmont Seaming Tong delivers flat, even pressure across the workpiece so you can create crisp bends, close hems, and flatten seams with confidence. Its broad, straight jaws give you control on trim, flashing, and detail work where a standard plier or hammer just can’t keep lines straight. Tough enough for daily jobsite use, yet refined for shop-quality results.

Key Features

• Wide, flat jaws distribute force evenly for straight, clean bends and seam flattening.
• Parallel jaw alignment helps maintain uniform pressure for consistent, repeatable results.
• Smooth, non-marring faces to help protect painted and coated metals during forming.
• Durable steel construction with a corrosion-resistant finish for long service life.
• Ergonomic, non-slip grips provide secure handling and control—gloved or bare-handed.
• Compact profile reaches tight corners, edges, and returns on trim and flashing.
• Works with light-gauge metals including aluminum, galvanized steel, and copper.

• Grip both handles firmly and open the jaws fully.
• Insert the edge of the sheet metal between the tongs’ jaws.
• Squeeze the handles to clamp the metal securely.
• Pivot or bend the tongs to shape or crease the metal as needed.
• Work progressively along the length of the seam for uniform bends.
• Release pressure and remove the metal when your bend is complete.
• After use, clean any debris or metal shavings from the jaws and store in a dry place.

Q: What tasks is this seaming tong best for?
A: Forming crisp bends, closing hems, and flattening seams on light-gauge metals—perfect for flashings, coil stock, and duct seams.

Q: What are the size and build specs?
A: Overall length is 9½″ (24 cm). Jaws are 3″ wide × 1⅛″ deep. Tool weight is about 2 lb (≈0.827 kg). It’s forged steel with a nickel-plated finish for strength and corrosion resistance.

Q: How do the engraved indicators help?
A: The jaw markings act as bending-depth guides so you can align your material and repeat bends consistently along a run.

Q: Will it mark painted or coated metal?
A: The smooth, nickel-plated faces help reduce marring. For delicate finishes, add painter’s tape or a thin protective film for extra insurance.
