Another good name for it that we use in California is a lipper

I started out my apprenticeship decking nothing wrong with that my first "lipper" was made on site out of backer bar from the welders . Good video and always remember a tool always works better when you fabricated it yourself.

Heck yeah man go build one and no problem

I made my first Lipper in 1985 out of 1"x3/8" back-up bar. I notched the side and welded a 7/8" low profile hardened nut into the notch. The nut was reassessed into the bar about 3/8" I used a hammer to strike the nut to drive the bar under a sheet that has been welded down to break the weld so we could remove or reposition the sheet. The nut was also cool when I used it to spin the lipper on my finger like a gun slinger.
