Review: Built tough - Great tool for bending metal and fabricating flashing and other things. Built tough, not for the weak. It's heavy but it's stable and it works as intended. I registered my unit for the warranty period and received a very nice catalog and welcome pack to the Malco family. After having to fight with other manufacturers over trivial items this was a pleasant surprise. Great company and great tools. Glad I finally bought this.
Review: Holy crap, bends 24 gauge steel in folds as small as 1/8” - Let me tell yall what!!! Career roofer, metal fabricator here! I got this for a historic project, fabbing lots fancy metals on an old house. 24 GAUGE STEEL! Thick boy stuff! Bends it like no other! And this sucker can make a bend as small as a freaking 1/8”!! No other portable break can bends smaller than 3/4”!! Or 24 gauge! I tried the cheaper brakes on here, but they have to screw down instead of the lever clamps like a real brick, they can’t bend more than 90 and or smaller than 1”. Nothing compares to this plus it’s so portable, I mean it’s probably 40 lbs but it doesn’t take up a bunch of space 100/100 all the crews are getting one now

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this brake be capable of bending 20 or 18 gauge sheet metal at the 4' length?**
A: I would be comfortable bending 20 gauge with mine. 18 is getting heavy for this unit but would probably do it occasionally.

**Q: Will this work to make chimney flashing?**
A: It will bend any flashing metal as long as it is 22 Ga or less. I build many different flashings using this brake. I use it for duct work, flashings, even small fascia repairs. I love that it is so portable.

**Q: Does it come with those amazing safety goggles that the guy is wearing in the pictures?**
A: Was great shipments.  Was use great work. Thank you.

**Q: Will this machine make 45 degree bends on 22 gauge stainless steel**
A: It will struggle.
