## Description

Malco C5R 5-Blade Crimping Tool – Creates Leak-Proof Crimps on Round Duct & Stove Pipe, Compound Leverage, Ergonomic Handles - desertcart.com

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: Great price on a good tool - I bought some expensive stainless pipe for my outdoor wood stove. But the pipe wouldn't fit in my stove collar! I called a friend who works in HVAC... he immediately described this tool to me. I looked around and found this one that's about $20 more than the imported ones, made in USA! I bought it, 90 seconds of crimping and my pipe fits like a glove. Nicely made, comfortable grip, shame I'll probably use it once or twice more in my lifetime. If you need this tool, buy this one.

- Quickly downsize ends of round duct and stove pipe.

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked as expected and seems very well built! Crimped my downspouts with ease
*by T***D on August 8, 2023*

I redid some downspouts with this adding transitions to 4" pvc pipe ( as should have been done by the installer) being able to cut and crimp on my own was great! and some of the original crimps that had been performed poorly were easily adjusted properly using this tool. I highly recommend getting this quality tool - not the cheapest but definately well made and made the project quick!
