Straightening Roof Gutter / Drip Rail
Does anyone have any tips on how to straighten the roof gutter / drip rails?
I was thinking of using a VISE-GRIP locking sheet metal clamp.

Re: Straightening Roof Gutter
I'd use either a medium sized channel locks with the serrations ground off the jaws, or an adjustable wrench.
Either way, take small bites. I've also got a drawer full of punches and chisels with ground tips to fit different contours.

I was thinking through the longer flat areas of using one of these :

Re: Straightening Roof Gutter / Drip Rail
The Vice Grips as shown above or these work well. I still wind up using a regular pair of pliers for any remaining small divots.

Re: Straightening Roof Gutter / Drip Rail
Yeah, the glazier's pliers are available at Home Depot. I've got some of those, too.
