Cleat & Cheek Benders

The CB3020 cleat bender is a manually operated tool that form uniform drive cleat edges on rectangular ductwork in seconds without set-up or adjustment. The upper handle forms the cleat and the lower handle opens the tool for easy removal of the material. Heavy cast iron and fabricated steel construction provides long life and trouble-free operation.

The CH2420 cheek bender is a rugged tool built for increased productivity while getting the most consistent bends quickly. This model’s two-way trunnion design holds the bending apron steady at the base of the bend ensuring accuracy throughout the length of the sheet. To change the flange height, the shims are set at the factory to run a flange of 3/16 inch. This dimension can be changed in the following manner: remove t 4 hex bolts on the top plate and change to desired dimension. The adjustable shim will give a range or 3/16 to 5/16 of an inch. This procedure may be done on left and right top plates if desired.
