Freund 01090100 - Clinching Pliers 90 Degree Bent, Lap Joint, 100mm

The Freund #01090100 Clinching Pliers (90° Bent, Lap Joint, 100mm) are heavy-duty sheet-metal pliers engineered for forming, bending, and tightening extra-wide seams in extremely tight or obstructed areas. The fully bent 90° jaw design allows access behind panels, inside corners, and around complex transitions, while the wide 100mm jaws apply strong, even pressure across large sections of metal. Built from hardened steel with a precision lap-joint mechanism, these pliers are ideal for demanding roofing, flashing, and architectural metal applications.
