Customer Reviews for VEVOR Sheet Metal Brake 36 In. Metal Bender Brake 910 mm Length Portable Metal Bender 0-90 Degrees Adjustable Steel Bender with 2 C-shaped Clamps Manual Sheet Metal Bender Tool for Metal Bending

I bought this specific to bend some aluminum flat stock to make boxes to glue to my vinyl fences where the latches are as the matches kept pulling away from the fend because they had nothing solid to grab onto.As you can see in my photo this brake did a nice job on the aluminum flat stock with nice and clean 90 degrees bends.Pay attention to the listing and the thickness this will support because of you try to exceed it like I attempted it won't work. The brake held up but when I tied to exceed the thickness rating the handles that you pull on started to bend. No damage done to the brake but you need to set your expectations according to what is listed as it's max thickness for the material you are working on.The clamps it came with were not that good and as I have a wooden bench I just screwed the brake into place while using it as you can see in my photo as that gave me the best leverage.

I bought this metal brake rather than buying custom window deletes for my Skoolie conversion. It worked very well to make several window deletes reusing the metal I removed from my bus ceiling. Total cost was less than the cost of two window deletes. Would definitely buy again. Super simple for a beginner to figure out, too.

Great value just the right size for small work. Easy to move and light enough to move by yourself. Would buy again.

Solid made, allows you to fab jigs for round bends with 2x4 and castors. Multiple bends on 18 gauge no problem. Longer handles might let you do 16 gauge. Excellent 36" bending cap. Used 3" lorin deep throat 750 mm clamps to lock down.

I would have given 5 stars but if you use the full 36” then there’s no way to see where the fold will happen and therefore difficult to line up the hold down bar. However, it’s well made and a great value for light material bending. Highly recommend.

everything works great except the c clamps.. they are not strong enough for some bends ........................................................................................

simple tool that gets it done

I needed a metal bender (called a metal break). For the price, this one is fine for the casual user. It would be a pain in the neck for someone who wanted to bend metal a lot. I just need to do this on an occasional basis. Two C-clamps come with it to hold the bar that clamps the metal in place and forms an edge about which the metal is bent. It has a 90º side and a 45º bevel that allows you to bend metal more than 90º. The C-clamps provided are cheapies, but they suffice to hold the bar in place. I might replace them with higher quality C-clamps. I had success in my first bending attempt. I'm making a mailbox to meed the new U.S. Post Office standard. The new standard is 13.63” wide x 7.75” tall on sides, 12" tall at center x 16.5” deep.

Great product that works well !
