Sheet Metal Tools for All Your Small and Odd Jobs

When you have a metal fabrication shop, you need the right tools to do the job. Sheet metal tools are essential to any fab shop that wants to be successful. However, many shops lack the proper tools they need for sheet metal fabrication because of the costs.

Metal shops that want to be successful and provide more products and services can equip their shops with necessary tools without going into extensive debt by taking advantage of Bud’s Machine Tool’s selection of sheet metal tools.

Bud’s offers a full line of sheet metal tools as well as other fab shop equipment. If our new machines don’t quite fit your price range, please allow us to source a quality piece of used equipment for you, as we should be able to find something that is priced to fit any budget. There is no reason that your shop cannot have the sheet metal tools and other equipment it needs to succeed.

Welcome to our "catch-all" page for sheet metal tools. Here is where we feature miscellaneous sheet metal equipment (such as a stand-alone seam closer), as well spotlight the sheet metal hand tools that we carry. As with all pages on our website, if you don't see exactly what you are after, please give us a call — if we don't have it, we will find it for you.

Types of Hand-Held Sheet Metal Tools

The original sheet metal tools were all hand-held devices. Even as larger hand and foot powered devices like leaf brakes and stomp shears came along, a good portion of the work was still done by hand with small tools. No matter the volume or type of your sheet metal fabrication work, sheet metal hand tools have a place in your shop and service truck.

The following are some of the most common types of hand-held tools used in sheet metal work:

  • Beaders
  • Crimpers
  • Duct pullers & stretchers
  • Flangers
  • Folding tools
  • Forming stakes
  • Grooving tools
  • Multi-tools (usually able to cut an inch or more in length, bend right angles, punch holes and create a 90° twist)
  • Nibblers
  • Notchers
  • Pittsburgh lock hammers
  • Rivet sets
  • Rivet squeezers
  • Pipe crimpers
  • Punches
  • Seamers (straight and offset) / seamer tongs
  • Snap lock punches
  • Snips, also known as tin snips or tinner snips (including aviation snips, bulldog snips, offset snips and upright snips)
  • Throatless hand shears
  • Trammels
