Create complex shapes such as reinforcement channels, ribs and much more all with one convenient, easy to store tool. Position your sheet metal in the location desired to make the bend, then tighten the vise until the desired bend has been made.

Perfect bends, much better than the big hammer.This tool is perfect for small, accurate bends in 1/8th x 1 inch steel bar stock. I used it in my bench press, not a vise. Much easier.

Handy & Convenient!So far so good. Handy little tool for bending light brackets. Quite convenient just to run over to the vise for a quick bend.

Perfect for small jobs needing quality bends.I installed the 4" brake in my 5 1/2" vise.
I tested on some scrap 4130 plate, .063" and .080", it took some muscle, as expected on the .080 but bent it with no trouble. Then I made some actual parts. These are rudder pedals, I needed these to be handed. They are .080" 4130 steel.
I copied originals, cut out and cleaned up the edges and marked my bend line. Put it in the brake and a few seconds later my part was complete. The new ones I made are the blue ones.
I wanted the 6" brake but the secs say it must be a 6" or more vise. Assuming it's the same design it will fit on a narrow vise, the magnets are not at the ends. But the 4" should meet all my needs.

4” finger vice breakThis sure beats the old way of hammering a piece of metal over to form a 90° Angle
It makes crisp angles effortlessly with just a few turns of my vice handle
I recommend the 4” vice finger break , and it’s made really well for long lasting service

Worked great!Worked well to fabricate some brackets out 1/8" x 1 flat bar. I wouldn't expect to bend too much heavier than that with the vice I have. Maybe with a heavy duty vice.

Well worth the investmentCreated a clean accurate 90-degree bend in a 16ga sheet metal bracket I built for a 1975 Norton Commando motorcycle project. I've been banging brackets in the vise with a hammer for years. It's works, but it's never pretty. Well worth the investment.
I asked this question 10 months ago and never got an answer. Let's see what happens this time. How close to the end of the material can a bend be made? For example, I have 1.25" wide flat bar stock and want to make a bend 3/4" from the end.
Asked by: 1AndOnly
3/4" should work perfect. The minimum I was able to get with 18 gauge steel was about 3/8" from edge.
Note that the 6" version of this product is a little larger and the minimum I would recommend is about 1/2" from edge with that product.

Will this bend 1/8" thick steel if it is only 1" wide?
Asked by: Table
Unfortunately as this is well past the rated specification of the unit we have not ever tested something so thick.

Will this bend a number plate into a rectangle box ?
Asked by: Alfred
This will do your bends on straight stock. This tool does not have the ability to make a box.
