KAKA INDUSTRIAL Sheet Metal Brake, 18-Inch Sheet Metal Bender, 18-Gauge Mild Steel Capacity, Portable Bending Brake 0-90 Degree Bending Angle Adjustable Aluminum Brake W-1818

Well made, excellent edge on brake metal, it requires you have clamps to anchor. 30 inches is absolute max length,.

I needed a smaller version of the sheet metal bending tool to fit in my small workshop and this isn’t all I wanted but it works well enough so I can make what I need from the designs I have. I had to use my own clamps and I learned fast enough where they needed to be to be the most effective. The size, durability and design of it are meeting 95 percent of my expectations and needs.

Very good for the money $60-70. With that said I wouldn't spend anymore then that for this. I had to reinforce in 2 spots due to flex while bending longer 20" pieces. I had to tig weld the annoying handles in because they have small set screws that work out. And it's impossible to know your angle without completely pulling the work piece out of the bender to measure. Shipping was super poor and came styrofoam inside of a box. This is way to heavy for this packaging method and completely fell apart by the time it got to my door. The one handle mount was bent during shipping but still seams ok for what I'll be bending. Again this is a 30" metal break for cheap. It's not for precise work and don't expect a perfect part after bending! It bows while bending long pieces and have to rubber mallet then straight. I'm a small fabrication shop and can't afford a better unit right now and grateful I have what I have for the price I paid.

Dude it's so awkward to use it kinda fun to think in reverse. Smoke a fatty and go back to 8th grade metal shop. If you drop that bar , yes man it's a chunk of milled steal , bye bye toes it's bad ass . Oh yeah the C clamps don't come with it. There are some cool tubers that tweak it. It's pretty bad ass ,if you hate it build a tuber forge and make a huge sword out of the premo metal.

This bending brake has way too much flex. Attempting to fold a thin piece of sheet metal resulted in a rounded bend, not the crisp straight crease I was hoping for. I could have had a better job by bending the metal in a vise. No good. NOTE: there are several you tube videos about how to fix all the issues these benders have. For the time spent modifying one of these, I think you're better off a real bending brake. The manufacturer should watch these videos and a bending brake that works. The only nice thing is the compact size.

Price was fair

The metal brake came in a destroyed box and I was worried not all the pieces arrived. They did though so that was good. I had 18 gage metal that I needed to bend. I was not able to get the top plate to tighten enough to bend the metal without the entire plate shifting. I struggled to bend just one side of a planned 4 sided bend project. In frustration it is now sitting in my garage and soon will be going to a swap meet as I will never use it again.

works just like I wanted it to. made four bee hive tops like a pro in just a few moments. good solid bender.

It's tough, it's heavy, not too big, not too small. For making transitions on furnace re/re's. This brake allows me to make the seams I want and have it look professional.

Fait pour petite job plieuse forte

super merci

needs a better way to hold moveable space bar. I drilled and tapped and I hold it with 1/2 inch bolts

Got a beat up unit that doesn’t even clamp evenly ! Wouldn’t recommend
