Freund 91601000 - Double Premium Edge Roller

The Freund #91601000 Double Premium Edge Roller is a high-precision sheet metal forming tool engineered for creating perfectly uniform bends and upstands along panel and flashing edges. Designed with two synchronized guide rollers, it provides exceptional stability and smooth travel, ensuring clean, consistent results even on long runs. Ideal for roofers, fabricators, and metalworkers, this tool allows you to bend edges directly on the roof or job site without needing a stationary brake. Durable construction, ergonomic handling, and adjustable settings make it a trusted choice for professional-grade craftsmanship.

Key Features

• Dual-roller precision system
  Two premium rollers work together to keep the tool square and stable, delivering straighter, cleaner edge bends with minimal marking.
• Adjustable bending height
  Form upstands and edge bends across a range of heights, making it suitable for drip edges, flashing details, fascia trim, and other roofing applications.
• Smooth, controlled movement
  The synchronized roller design ensures even pressure and smooth travel along the metal, reducing resistance and improving accuracy on long bends.
• Lightweight, ergonomic build
  Compact yet durable construction allows for comfortable handling on rooftops and in shop environments.
• Versatile material compatibility
  Suitable for aluminum, zinc, copper, steel, and other common roofing metals within typical sheet-gauge thicknesses.
• Job-site ready
  Perfect for forming metal directly on the roof, eliminating the need to haul material back to a stationary brake for minor or mid-sized bends.

Q: What is the Freund #91601000 Double Premium Edge Roller used for?
A: This tool is used to create clean, consistent edge bends and upstands in sheet metal. Roofers and metalworkers rely on it for forming drip edges, flashing bends, hemmed edges, and other precise detail work directly on the job site.

Q: What makes the Double Premium Edge Roller different from a standard edge roller?
A: Unlike single-roller tools, the Double Premium Edge Roller uses two synchronized rollers for added stability, smoother travel, and straighter bends. This dual-roller design reduces wobble, improves accuracy, and minimizes surface marking.

Q: What types of metal can the Double Premium Edge Roller bend?
A: It’s suitable for aluminum, zinc, copper, steel, and stainless steel within light-gauge roofing thicknesses. The tool is designed for sheet metal—generally in the 0.3–1.0 mm range depending on material hardness.

Q: Can the edge roller bend metal up to a full 90 degrees?
A: Yes. When used correctly and within the metal thickness limits, the tool can form bends up to approximately 90°, allowing for clean upstands and finished edges needed for typical roofing and flashing applications.
