This is a metal bearing roller. The handle is made of wood, so it's not too heavy and is easy to handle. When used on towels or mats, the thin blade will create crisp creases, making it suitable for complex work around box gutters and skylights! *Please note that thick-bladed rollers can cause creases to become distorted. Also, its maneuverability allows for versatile use, such as creating curved creases that cannot be done with a folding machine. We are sheet metal workers, and we inspect each item individually and only list those that are in good working order. Please understand that there may be minor scratches.
