Klein Tools 88981 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size bends will the Klein Tools 88981 folding tool make in sheet metal?
The 88981 folding tool bends at two set depths, 3/8 inch (10 mm) and 1 inch (25 mm), across an 18 inch (457 mm) working length. Those are the two flange depths you get, so if a job calls for a hem or flange outside 3/8 or 1 inch, this is the wrong tool for it. The 18 inch length sets the longest single bend you can pull in one pass; longer runs mean stepping the tool along the piece.
2) How do you get a straight, consistent bend line with the Klein 88981 without marking the metal first?
Sight gauges built into the folding tool let you line the workpiece up to the fold depth by eye before you close it, so the bend lands where you want it without scribing a line down an 18 inch run. Set the material to the gauge for the 3/8 inch or 1 inch depth, clamp, and pull the fold.
3) Is the Klein folding tool strong enough for repeated bending on a job site, or is it a light-duty hand tool?
The body is heavy-duty 16 gauge steel, which is what gives it the stiffness to fold without the jaw springing open mid-bend. That is the construction spec Klein publishes for the 88981, and it is the reason it holds a straight line over the full 18 inch length rather than bowing in the middle.
4) What model number do I order for the Klein 18 inch folding tool?
Order Klein Tools 88981. That single part number covers the 18 inch (457 mm) folding tool with both the 3/8 inch and 1 inch fold depths; there are no separate depth or length variants to pick between.
