Q: What are the Freund #01090022 Small 45° Clinching Pliers used for?
A: These pliers are used for fine-detail sheet-metal shaping, bending, and seam tightening in tight or angled spaces. They’re ideal for flashing adjustments, trim shaping, and detailed finishing work.

Q: Why choose the 22mm jaw size for these pliers?
A: The compact 22mm jaw provides excellent precision and visibility, making it perfect for small bends, micro-adjustments, narrow seams, and intricate detail work where larger pliers are too bulky.

Q: What advantage does the 45° angled jaw provide?
A: The 45° bend allows access to corners, transitions, behind profiles, and tight areas where straight pliers cannot reach. It also provides better leverage for angled shaping tasks.

Q: Can these pliers be used on all common roofing metals?
A: Yes. They are suitable for aluminum, zinc, copper, mild steel, and stainless steel within typical light-gauge roofing and flashing thickness ranges.
