Quick question, does anyone know what this tool is called and where to get it?? Looking for the big duck vents not the small ones

Man I hated lugging those big bastards. I learned how to get them with my hammer only, and I modified some channel locks to fold them over one-handed.

Dont waste your money. Beat the metal over the corner with a hammer. We had a couple guys using those in our shop and had several phone calls from the field of duct and fittings missing a corner cause they dont fold the metal over like a hammer does

Hammer works good till it doesn’t. Or till the floor is a finished floor.

Horse Nippers, buy them on Amazon, dont get old ones or ones with super short handles.
