Wiss WS3 3-Inch Straight Handle - HVAC Hand Seamer

I used this for bending sheet metal corners and flats on 20 gauge steel framing members. It performed perfectly, and I anticipate it will last for many years to come. A really great tool to have.

Recently had a new variable speed Carrier furnace/blower installed, replacing a similar one that was over 13 years old and had catastrophically failed. My HVAC installers increased the return duct and return grill to the back of the house, just outside master bedroom. The air movement is awesome now but the new grill had an annoying harmonic resonance tone, particularly noticeable with cooling and even with heat at night. After lots of online research and several online suggestions from HVAC pros, I invested in this tool in order to open the return grill fins just a bit to hear if that made a difference, short of calling the pros back, replacing the grill, installing a new plenum above the return or the like. Worked liked a charm!! Easy peasy. Just grip with the tool and open the fins with one motion. Once I had opened up the two middle fin rows central to the 16inch duct opening above the grill (in ceiling), the harmonics lessened. Opened up each immediately outside rows to those two, and the harmonics stopped. The air movement noise remains slightly perceptible when I stand immediately under the return, but even then, it's not annoying. Worked very well!! Might or might not resolve your similar issue, but worth a try, I'd think before moving on to something more drastic of costly.

For a hand held it is solid. I did some custom flashing pieces and pounded on it with a mallet. Holds up to the wiss name for durability. Remember this tool is hard steel so slight rusting started to occur but a coat of wd40 solved the nonissue.

This is a fine upgrade if you use these very day, the handle is better, and the finish is nicer. But, if you are going to use these little benders infrequently, the knock-off brands are just as good. I had a HF brand which I used for several years, got these as an upgrade. These are a little smoother, but both perform the same.

I use this tool to crimp hand-made key chains. A little duct tape applied to the plates (so it won't scratch the key fob) and they're perfect. The grip is small enough for me to use one hand. They have enough weight to them to make them sturdy but not so much that I get tired using them even after doing 50+ keychains in an hour.

They came and they needed adjustment right away. The locking mechanism didn’t work. I would recommend a different set of seekers

Just a high quality bender that I have had for about a year works great. I use it on metal roofing for folding various metal pieces where larger benders dont fit.

Great price, and from a well known brand in the trades. Only problem with the tool is that the jaws are not even on the top edge. I kept them any way because I needed them for work, and didn't want to wait or bother with returning. I previously owned several Malco seamers (lost them). I liked them better but they are almost twice the cost. Over all an ok tool.

Works good, good quality. Can’t go wrong with Wiss.

Well made heavy but works great .. you can put in many different angles and it holds your metal well.

Great product!

Very sturdy and works well. Plates aren't perfectly aligned, but I don't think it matters, hasn't been an issue. I'm surprised the arms aren't longer to allow bends deeper than 1-1/4.

It does the job. I have not identified any weak points.
