This is a very interesting little device that deserves a closer look.

Thanks for sharing Gunny.

I have been buying it -about the cheapest bending tool you can find on the market, and it works neatly.
The owner despatches the things pretty fast too

Almost like a mini press brake. Looks to be a nice tool, might be worth having one.

looks like a nice update to an age old problem. I've got one of those old style heavy duty ones. I end up more often than not using my finger nails to hold and fold
