Everhard MT14010 - Fairmont Offset Seaming Tong

The Fairmont Offset Seaming Tong delivers precise control where straight tools can’t reach. Its offset handle geometry gives you knuckle clearance over raised seams, fasteners, and edges while the wide, flat jaws spread pressure evenly for crisp bends, tight hems, and seam-flattening without waviness. Built from forged steel with a corrosion-resistant finish, it’s tough enough for daily jobsite abuse and refined enough for shop-grade results on trim, flashing, and duct details.

Key Features

• Offset handle design for better access and visibility in tight areas and over standing seams—no banged knuckles.
• Wide, flat jaws (3″ class) distribute force uniformly for straighter bends and cleaner hems.
• Parallel jaw action applies even 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 and corrosion resistance.
• Engraved 1/8″ graduations on the jaws to gauge depth and repeat bends accurately.
• Comfortable, cushioned grips provide secure, non-slip control with or without gloves.
• Made for light-gauge metals including aluminum, galvanized steel, and copper—ideal for flashings, coil stock, and duct seams.

Offset Handle Design: Allows for better clearance and ergonomics when working near edges or in tight spaces 

Forged and Nickel-Plated Steel: Ensures strength, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting durability 

Jaws with Precision Markings: 3″ wide × 1⅛″ deep jaws are stamped with bending-depth indicators for consistent and accurate hemming

Compact Size & Weight: 9½″ overall length, weighing about 1.82 lb (0.827 kg)—easy to handle, yet strong enough for 16-gauge sheet metal 

Made in USA: Manufactured to professional standards for reliable field performance

• Grip both handles firmly and open the jaws fully.
• Insert the sheet metal edge between the offset jaws at the point to be bent or flattened.
• Squeeze the handles evenly to clamp the metal securely.
• Pivot or fold the tongs to form bends or flatten seams as required.
• Work incrementally along the seam for consistent shaping.
• Release the handle and remove the metal when bending is done.
• After use, wipe the jaws clean of debris and store in a dry location.

Q: What’s the advantage of the offset handle design?
A: It gives you knuckle clearance and better access near edges, fasteners, and raised seams—perfect for tight spaces where straight tools can’t reach.

Q: What are the jaw dimensions?
A: 3″ wide × 1⅛″ deep for accurate bends, hems, and seam-flattening on trim, flashing, and duct work.

Q: What materials/thicknesses can it handle?
A: Light-gauge metals such as aluminum, galvanized steel, and copper; around 16-gauge capacity depending on alloy hardness and proper technique.

Q: What are the overall size and weight?
A: 9½″ overall length and about 1.82 lb (≈0.827 kg)—compact for control yet sturdy for firm clamping.
