The Trim Coil Holder from InnovaTools makes it easy to swap out trim coil and features a reversible, built-in guillotine cutter.

I regularly use a metal brake for bending flashing and trim. Over the past year or so, I’ve been using several accessories from InnovaTools—including a two-way cutter and a pair of Anvil extensions—on a Tapco Max-i-mum XL brake. Installing the Anvil extensions was simple and, once installed, they can be easily adjusted using an Allen key to ensure perfect alignment with the brake rails. After adding the two-way cutting tool to the brake and spending a few minutes fine-tuning my setup and making a few cuts, I was impressed with how much smoother they made the cutting process and how they solved several problems commonly
