Flanging Plier f/Curves
This tool is indispensable for street rodders and restorers of old cars. Just think of all curved surfaces on those 40's and 50's model cars - wouldn't it be nice to flange those just like the flat surfaces? Well now you can! The flanging plier will make a 5/32" wide, .040" offset in a panel which will allow you to walk it around a curve. Plus, the jaws are relieved to eliminate jaw marks on the curved surface. Maximum depth of the flange is 3/4". You may not need this tool often, but when you do, it's a lifesaver!

HTP Combination Punch & Flange Tool
Here's a remarkably easy way you can make professional looking and fitting replacement panels, even in the center of large, flat panels without warpage. Best of all, you don't have to be a highly experienced fabricator to get perfect results each and every time.

The flanger will press a 7/8" wide, .040" offset in your panel. The benefit of flanging your panel is that it allows you to perform a flush lap weld rather than a butt weld. Secondly, a flanged panel has significantly more rigidity resulting in less warpage when welding.

Swivel the head and the flanger becomes a hole puncher. The quick and easy way to punch holes in panels for MIG Plug Welding. Your choice of 3/16" or IICAR recommended 5/16" holes.

This labor saving tool will produce factory looking repairs requiring less finishing time, saving you time and money. Much faster than the "vise grip" style flangers. Replacement punch and die sets are readily available which means this tool will last you a lifetime. Punches and flanges in metal up to 20 gauge.

Notching Tool
This tool is a "must have" for anyone who butt welds panels together. Imagine a tool that makes it possible to butt weld panels together and not have to grind welds, while at the same time reinforcing the panel and giving it rigidity to help reduce warpage.

Imagine the HTP notching tool. The notching tool puts a 45ƒ lip in the edge of the panels to be welded together. This lip reinforces the panel and helps to resist warpage when welding. When the two panels are placed side by side, a "V" is formed. This valley provides an area for the weld metal to flow in and virtually eliminates grinding.

Heavy Duty Hole Punch
This heavy duty tool is a must for home restorers, collision repair experts, and sheetmetal fabricators. Easily punches IICAR recommended 5/16" holes in frame rails for MIG Plug Welding. Adjustable stop allows you to position holes up to 1 1/2" into the panel. Quickly punches through 16 ga. metal. This is a "must have" tool for bodymen working on unibody cars. Replacement punch and die sets available means this tool will give you a lifetime of service.

Belt Sander
Restorers, street rodders, fabricators, racers- anyone who is serious about the appearance and performance of their machines will appreciate our time saving pneumatic belt sander. This sander will get into the places others won't. Porting cylinder heads, grinding down inside corner welds, removing unsightly casting marks. . . these jobs are a snap with our 3/8" belt sander. Get into those tight, hard to reach recesses, crevices and curved surfaces. The adjustable belt guide rotates a full 160 degrees to get sanding power where you need it. Belts can be changed in seconds, thanks to the simple, "quick change" belt guide design. We can't begin to tell you how many uses we've found for this tool - and you'll probably find even more!

Panibbler
Next to one of our plasma cutters, this Panibbler is the most efficient and fastest way to cut metal. . . your very own hand-operated sheet metal shear. It will cut 3/64" steel or 5/64" aluminum or stainless as fast as you can go. Use it on a tight curve or radius, even corrugated materials. For long, straight cuts just clamp a straight edge to the panel. Here's how it works: you operate the throttle lever to precisely feather the speed of a two stage reciprocating die which cuts out small, half-moon chips. You can see the cutting die so following your pattern is simple. This machine weighs only 1-1/2 lbs., yet is packed with power for tough jobs. It can cut a hole as tight as a silver dollar. Perfect for cutting rusted areas in hard-to-reach places, making rust and panel repairs easier than conventional hand tool methods.
