Malco C5R 5 Blade Pipe Crimper. The Malco 5-Blade Sheet Metal Crimper features ergonomic RedLine Handle technology. An engineered handle opening compliments the natural power stroke of any user’s hand and maximizes the powerful 7:1 mechanical advantage of compound-leverage head to handle linkage. Comfortable handle grip contours, a non-slip grip insert, spring handle actuation and a thumb-operated handle latch ensure a natural fit and feel for comfortable one hand operation anywhere on the job. Use Malco's 5-Blade Crimper to downsize stove pipe and round duct to create a male connection for joining sections. The five blades of this versatile job-site hand tool produce a 1-5/8 inch (41.3 mm) long, shallow, double crimp that replicates factory indentations and ensures a tight fitting, leak-proof connection. The connection is also more self-supporting during installation. A handle closing stop maintains a consistent crimp. Hardened all-steel construction and a nickel chrome finish ensure long service life.
