Cool toolThis brake is all I expected. It does the job well. However, the so-called "Instruction Manual" is totally worthless. I have never seen a worse-written document in all my 76 years.

Can this do titanium?
Asked by: Nick
This is a difficult question to answer - we've never tested it with titanium so we don't have any guidelines for that.
From my research I think the titanium would have to be very thin, comparable to 20-22 gauge stainless and if you want to put any significant bend in it you need a lot of heat to prevent it from cracking. Glowing red hot level of heat.
