and you can get it as a plier-type hand tool, a hand tool that you roll along the edge with a socket driver, as a stationary hand-cranked tool through which you feed the metal sheet, or an air-powered tool like the one Doug pictured.
The one in his picture is a combination flanger/punch, meaning it also punches holes in addition to forming flanges. That's a nice capability if you plan to use plug welds (homemade spot welds) to secure your patch panel -- you can form your flange, then flip the head and punch the holes you need to make the plug welds.
Or if you're going to have a sheet metal shop fabricate your patch panels for you, you don't need a tool at all. Just tell them to flange the panels for you.
