Everhard MT14020 - Fairmont Seaming Tong with Cushion Grip

Built for control and comfort, the MT14020 pairs Everhard’s flat, precision jaws with a cushioned, non-slip handle that keeps your hands fresh through repetitive forming. It distributes pressure evenly for crisp bends, tight hems, and seam-flattening on trim, flashing, and duct details—delivering shop-quality results on the jobsite.

Key Features

• Cushion-grip handles reduce hand fatigue and provide confident, non-slip control—gloved or bare-handed.
• Wide, flat jaws spread force evenly for straighter bends and cleaner hems with fewer passes.
• Parallel jaw action applies uniform clamping pressure for consistent, repeatable results.
• Smooth, non-marring faces help protect painted and coated metals during forming.
• Forged-steel construction, nickel-plated for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
• Precision depth markings on the jaws (1/8″ increments) to align work and repeat bends accurately.
• Compact, jobsite-ready design reaches corners and tight edges on flashing, coil stock, and duct seams.
• Works with light-gauge metals including aluminum, galvanized steel, and copper.

Handle Style: Straight-handled design with soft cushion-grip handles, reducing hand fatigue and improving grip during repetitive use. 

Construction: Forged steel, nickel-plated for durability and corrosion resistance; built to endure tough jobsite conditions. 

Jaw Specs: 3″ wide × 1⅛″ deep jaws, stamped with bending-depth guide marks for precise and repeatable seam operations.

Size & Weight:

• Overall length: 9½″
• Weight: between 1.94–2 lb (0.88–0.91 kg) 

Manufacturing: Made in the USA to professional-grade standards.

• Grip both soft-grip handles firmly and open the jaws fully.
• Insert the sheet metal edge between the offset jaws at the starting bend point.
• Squeeze the handles to clamp the metal securely in the jaws.
• Pivot or bend the tongs to form the desired seam or edge bend.
• Progressively move along the seam, re-clamping and bending incrementally for consistency.
• Once bending is completed, release and remove the metal workpiece.
• After finishing, wipe debris or shavings from the jaws and store in a dry, safe location.

Q: Why choose the cushion-grip version?
A: The soft, non-slip cushion grips reduce hand fatigue and improve control during repetitive forming, especially on long bends and hems.

Q: What are the jaw dimensions and how do the markings help?
A: Jaws are 3″ wide × 1⅛″ deep and are stamped with 1/8″ depth guides so you can align material and repeat bends consistently.

Q: What materials is this best for?
A: Light-gauge sheet metals—aluminum, galvanized steel, and copper. For best results, form bends progressively rather than in a single heavy squeeze.

Q: What are the overall size and weight?
A: 9½″ overall length; weight between 1.94–2.0 lb (0.88–0.91 kg) for a solid, controlled feel without excess bulk.
