[RE-wrenches] Standing metal seam clamps

[Drake]

Why are those better?

I'm designing a system for a standing seam roof 
built by an Amish crew. They likely used a 
Zimmerman machine to make the roof on site. The 
seams are triangular shaped measuring 1 1/2" high 
and 11/16" wide at the base. It looks like we 
will need to pinch the seams with duckbill vice 
grips to get the clamp on. Is there a better solution?

Thanks,

Drake
