Abstract
A gutter cap forming tool is provided for use in a method of forming a gutter cap from a sheet stock blank. A flange of the gutter cap is initially formed by a bending brake or a flange bender. A roll forming operation is performed to form a reversely-turned arcuate bend in the gutter cap. The gutter cap is installed with either an extruded bracket or a molded bracket that secures the gutter cap to a building and a gutter.
