Featuring five hardened steel blades, ergonomic RedLine handles, and a powerful 7:1 compound leverage mechanism, it ensures tight, leak-proof joints with minimal effort. Made in the USA, this durable crimper is engineered for consistent, one-handed operation, making it the go-to tool for contractors and DIY pros seeking precision and reliability on every job. ## Description Use the Malco C5R Crimper to downsize stove pipe and round metal duct to create a male connection for joining sections. The five blades of this versatile job-site hand tool produce a 1-5/8 inch (41.28 mm) long, shallow, double crimp that replicates factory indentations and ensures a tight fitting, leak-proof connection. The connection is also more self-supporting during installation. A handle closing stop maintains a consistent crimp. Hardened all-steel construction and a nickel chrome finish ensure long service life. The Malco C5R Crimper also features ergonomic RedLine Handle technology. An Engineered handle opening compliments the natural power stroke of any user's hand and maximizes the powerful 7:1 mechanical advantage of compound-leverage head to handle linkage. Comfortable handle grip contours, a non-slip grip insert, spring handle actuation and a thumb-operated handle latch ensure a natural fit and feel for comfortable one hand operation anywhere on the job. Review: Perfect crimps! - In the past used tricks like trimming the pipe and folding inward. Wanted to improve the outcome and process which guided me to crimper. With the reviews and price difference I bought these crimpers. Absolutely impressed!! Crimpers are very smooth to operate. Was surprised at how little you needed to squeeze the handle to achieve a factory looking crimp. Was able to crimp a female end on duct boot and turn into a male end. The fresh crimp slide right inside another female fitting and looked very professional. Also worked great for customizing straight pipes with joints. Highly recommended!! Review: A few dollars more than the others, but worth it. - I'm *not* a ventilation guy, but occasionally I need to crimp some ends for fitment on some ductwork. I didn't like that other much cheaper crimpers were randomly mashing up my duct fittings and not giving me the outcome I needed. The Malco for some reason just gave me better results, has nice sharp interlocking blades (probably it's best attribute) and gave a better result than all the others I've tried. The most frustrating thing you can experience when doing that ductwork is a tool that will not perform up to expectations, and this seems to be a buy-once kind of tool. I was recommended this tool by my ventilation subcontractor and have not been unsatisfied with it since. Just open your wallet and free that trapped money ;-) Seriously though, if you can afford it, this is a solid choice and will not let you down, give consistent results and result in less time spent bending tin, compared to others I have had opportunity to try. I hope this helps. ## Features - 5 Blade Crimper - Creates a longer, shallower professional grade crimp - Tighter fitting, leak proof connection - Soft touch, non slip handle insert - Unique one hand operation latch.Made in the USA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005ZDY8DC | | Best Sellers Rank | 639,698 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 1,531 in Crimpers | | Brand | Malco | | Colour | Red/Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,104 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00686046534398 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Grip type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Metal | | Handle Type | Fixed | | Handle material | Metal | | Included Components | crimper | | Item Type Name | Malco C5R 5-Blade Pipe Crimper | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Item weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Malco | | Model Number | C5R | | Part Number | C5R | | Size | Pack Of 1 | | UPC | 686046534398 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Usage | HVAC installation, creating tight, leak-proof connections for round duct and stove pipe | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Malco - **Colour:** Red/Black - **Item weight:** 68 g - **Handle material:** Metal - **Grip type:** Ergonomic ## Images ![Malco C5R 5-Blade Pipe Crimper - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wEwG+sIVL.jpg) ![Malco C5R 5-Blade Pipe Crimper - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bcz1vIXUL.jpg) ![Malco C5R 5-Blade Pipe Crimper - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rnf6B-UDL.jpg) ![Malco C5R 5-Blade Pipe Crimper - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jBg4nLYyL.jpg) ![Malco C5R 5-Blade Pipe Crimper - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6177Smz45XL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Whats the difference between the c5r and the c4r ???** A: One is for downspouts and the other is for stove pipe. The depth of the jaws are 1.5" for the C5r and 1.25" for the C4r. The C5r is for pipe and the C4r is for downspouts, but I think you can use either for downspouts. The jaw depth is the only difference. **Q: Does it work on 24 gauge galvanized smoke pipe?** A: Yes, they'd work on the smoke pipe. I've had many different pair over the years. These are good crimpers. **Q: Can I use this on downspouts to add on extra** A: Ive never tried it on downspouts, just on sheet metal pipe. But if the your downspout is circular or oval it should work. I hope this helped. **Q: Is the c5r the all around better crimper then the c4r because I would like to use for rain gutters but also like to use it if I need for duct work to?** A: The only difference between the two is the crimp length. The C5R has around a half inch more crimp length. Either will work great for you. I work on eve troughs as well and always use the C5R and have no complaints. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect crimps! *by R***G on 21 October 2023* In the past used tricks like trimming the pipe and folding inward.
