Sheet metal Benders

[bazzz]

Hello all, I found this tool in my dad’s stuff. I know it’s for bending sheet metal and I think is probably around 50 or more years old. Does anyone know if they have any value to a current sheet metal worker other than a wall ornament? What would be a fair price/trade?

No manufacturing marks that I can see.

Looks like a set of Pexto 773 Roofing tongs that have been butchered... Their original usage was to turn up a flange for standing seam roofing. Someone has cut them down and made them quite a bit shorter than normal.

Thanks for your help. They have definitely been cut on. I thought only the corners were cut but I can imagine my dad altering them to fit the job. How wide were they originally?

I believe the bills were 18".

I have some of them and don’t use them often, but they can come in handy at times
