FREUND LEAD DRESSING TOOLS

Description

FREUND LEAD DRESSING TOOLS

A versatile set of specialist tools designed for precise working with lead in roofing and panel beating. These sticks are crafted from tough polyamide plastic for durability, featuring ergonomic handles and finger guards for comfortable, safe use. Whether you’re setting, bossing, bending or dressing lead sheet, there’s a stick for every job, each sold separately to match your exact needs.

Uses:

• Setting-in Stick: The setting-in stick is placed against the inside edge of the corner, and a mallet is used to hit it. This drives the lead sheet into the creases to reinforce the folds. This tool is essential for installing chimney flashing and a range of other lead-working applications.
• Bossing Stick: Bossing sticks are designed to dress or boss the surface of the lead sheet using either positional or non-positional bossing techniques. Bossing is the process of gently beating lead in a way that shapes it but does not crinkle or damage it (the thickness of the lead should not decrease by more than 25%). It is a skill that requires training and practice.
• Bending Stick: A bending stick, or bending dresser, is commonly used as an alternative to a bossing stick. Its slender shape makes the bending dresser an effective tool for more detailed bossing, where a more hefty bossing stick would not be suitable.
• Dressing Stick: Lead dressing sticks can be used to work lead in a number of ways. They are primarily used to flatten sheet lead, but can also be used to set in folds in sheet metal before it is used for roof flashing.
