I purchased this tool to build a garage, along with the Tapco Pro 19 metal brake. Both tools worked flawlessly right out of the box. This is a good quality tool that i would recomend to anyone.

I use this tool mainly for making brick moulding profiles. As recieved I found the screw that holds the dies in place keep falling out or would screw itself so tight it would jam the dies. I had to install a flat washer to act as a thrust bearing and apply Loc-Tite blue to the screw. The way the case is moulded requires you to have to spend time screwing the dies in or out to get it into position to use it each time. And time is money.
