Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: What is included?
A: One Malco C4R downspout crimper, sold as a single tool (Each).
Q: Why crimp a downspout?
A: Crimping reduces the end so a section or elbow slips inside the next piece for a snug, aligned joint.
Q: How many crimps per end?
A: Standard practice is several evenly spaced crimps around the end; the sources do not state a specific number.
Q: Can it crimp end caps too?
A: No, use Malco's SL2R gutter end cap crimper for end caps; the jaw shapes are different.
Q: Is it hand operated?
A: Yes, it is a manual crimper and needs no power.
Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Crimping the inlet end of each downspout section is the fastest way to get plumb, tight downspout runs without special fittings. Crimp only the ends that nest inside another piece, and orient crimps so the sections do not lip-lock when you adjust elbow angles on the wall. Pair this with the SL2R end cap crimper so one pouch covers the whole gutter system.
Downspout and elbow edges are sharp; wear gloves and keep fingers clear of the crimper jaws during use.
Add the Malco downspout crimper to your kit for tight, professional downspout joints.
