A 3-inch seamer for crimping heavier-gauge pipe (up to 22-gauge galvanized steel) and for bending and flattening sheet metal. It has a reduced handle span to lower required muscle effort, slip-resistant ergonomic grips, and an external latch to secure the tool when not in use.
Project Ideas
Business
On-Site HVAC Duct Repair & Retrofit
Offer mobile services to crimp, fit, and seal duct transitions, reducers, and takeoffs. The seamer’s capacity up to 22-gauge galvanized steel lets you adjust existing ducts, tighten joints, and flatten seams for better airflow and reduced leakage.
Custom Flashing & Gutter Accessories
Partner with roofers and remodelers to fabricate drip edges, counter-flashing, and end caps on-site. Hem edges for safety, create crisp bends, and crimp corners for fast installation. Quick turnaround and precise fit become your competitive advantage.
Small-Batch Metal Home Goods
Produce hemmed magnet boards, utility shelves, planters, and utensil caddies from galvanized sheet. The seamer gives clean, professional bends and safe edges. Sell via Etsy, local markets, and wholesale to boutiques with custom sizing and finishes.
Signage & Branded Plates
Make durable metal signs and menu boards with folded hems and flattened seams for rigidity. Add vinyl or laser-etched graphics. Offer custom sizes, mounting options, and quick production for cafes, breweries, and workshops.
Intro to Sheet Metal Workshops
Host paid classes teaching hemming, edge crimping, and simple box forming. Students complete a planter or tool tray in one session. The seamer’s reduced handle span and ergonomic grips make it approachable for beginners and a safe classroom tool.
Creative
Hemmed-Edge Planter Boxes
Cut 22-gauge galvanized sheet into rectangles, then use the 3-inch seamer to create clean 90° bends and hem the edges for safety and rigidity. Rivet or spot-fasten the corners for a tidy, industrial planter. Add drainage holes and optional powder-coat or patina finish.
Industrial Wall Art Panels
Create geometric textures by making repeated parallel crimps and shallow bends across sheet metal. Combine patterns (chevrons, waves, grids) and mount to wood backers. The seamer’s 3-inch jaw makes consistent, repeatable lines for striking wall pieces.
Kinetic Garden Wind Spinner
Form curved blades by gradually bending strips of sheet metal and crimping their bases for strength. Assemble multiple blades around a hub with a bearing. The seamer’s controlled leverage helps make smooth, uniform bends for balanced rotation.
Workshop Tool Caddy
Bend a single sheet into a tray with hemmed edges and folded corner tabs, then add a folded handle spine down the center. The seamer flattens seams and hems to eliminate sharp edges and stiffen the structure without complex tooling.
Lantern-Style Duct Light
Fabricate a small lantern using crimped seams similar to HVAC ducting. Cut decorative perforations, fold the panels with the seamer, then crimp and rivet the edges to assemble. Add a low-heat LED module for an industrial-inspired lamp.
