Securities and Exchange Commission

Washington D.C.  20549

         This firm is counsel to Cold Metal Products, Inc. (the "Company") in
connection with the filing by the Company with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 registering under
the Securities Act of 1933 the sale of 359,100 shares of the Company's Common
Stock (herein, the "Shares") to be originally issued by the Company pursuant to
its 1994 Incentive Program, an employee benefit plan. We have examined and are
familiar with the Registration Statement, the Certificate of Incorporation of
the Company and all amendments thereto and restatements thereof, the By-laws of
the Company as amended and restated and the Company's 1994 Incentive Program. In
addition, we have examined certificates of public officials and made such other
and further investigations as we believe necessary to express an informed
opinion on the matters set forth below.

         Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

         1.    The Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
               standing under the laws of the State of New York.

         2.    The Shares to be issued and sold by the Company, when issued and
               sold in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement,
               will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and non
               assessable.

         We consent to the filing of this Opinion with the Registration
statement and the use of our name therein.

                                                    Very truly yours,

                                            COHEN SWADOS WRIGHT HANIFIN
