Hear it from @southpawandcompany! thanks for sharing and your order! :)
PART 1
Hitting on some key features of my new Innovatools modular aluminum brake 😀
Features:
1. It’s MODULAR! Meaning I can lengthen or shorten the brake’s bending capacity by simply adjusting the number of sections. In 36” or 42” increments, I believe!
2. Stock management - they’ve developed a fantastic way to manage 50’/100’ rolls of coil stock. I can have it attached to the brake or as a stand alone assembly. When attached to the brake you can easily feed and cut to length with their built-in cutter.
3. 2-Way Cutter - Ripping stock to width just got a whole lot easier and faster! No more razor knife 😬
Longest Portable Bending Brake

The longest brake we have assembled so far on display
Presenting the longest portable bending brake ever made (to our knowledge):
A few weeks ago we assembled six 42’’ modules together to create a 21ft long Heavy Duty Innovatools Modular Brake with a 24’’ throat. A customer reached out to us asking if he could have a brake that is 21 ft long, our answer was; Why not?! Having the ability to join modules together and create a virtually infinite length of bending brake is a design that is easily achievable with the Innovatools Modular Brake design.

Conclusion:
So as you can see here, the advantages of having a modular design are VERY beneficial from many aspects from manufacturing, to shipping, to the end user. Although with some explanations the Whys might seem more obvious now, sometimes benefits need to be explained to truly grasp and understand the revolutionary aspect of a new product in an industry that hasn’t seen much design changes in a long period of time and has therefore set baseline expectations from a long time ago. Innovatools is there to disrupt the industry and to reset the baseline on those expectations.
