The Sidewinder makes feeding coil stock a breeze. It eliminates any wrinkling and the need to feed the stock out of the box. The coil carriage. The Pro-Cutoff tool is a must when using the Sidewinder. The Pro-Cutoff will cut the stock about two inches past the end of the brake so allow for this when cutting stock to length. The only caveat is the additonal weight at the end of the brake, especially with wider coil widths and lengths. The additional weight will on ocassion allow the operator to lift the left end of the brake off the ground but is only noticeable when bending stock at near the full length of the 10'6" brake. Changing the stock is a snap so much so that I am considering additional coil cradles to allow different color stock or a second coil to be finish side up or down to be left loaded. The coil cradle simply lifts off and it is relatively simple to change coils. After using this tool I would not want to go back to the old way of handling coil stock.

I am a professional building contractor that has been using the sidewinder for 3 years now. Not only does it save time in cutoffs, it keeps my coil stock clean and dent free. I could not imagine ever going back to the old method of unrolling the coil on a bench or even the ground and scoring and bending to cut. A very worthwhile investment for any serious mechanic.
