Customer Review – Southpaw & Company on Innovatools Modular Brake Accessories

May 2025 -- Brian Keatts
Part 2
In Part 2 of this customer review, Southpaw & Company takes a closer look at the accessory options available for the Innovatools Modular Bending Brake. The video highlights the measuring gauge, featuring dual rules for direct measurements or accounting for 2-way cutter blade offset, as well as the material stopper, which offers multiple positions to help rip consistent widths or improve bending repeatability. Both accessories are magnetic, adjustable, and removable, making them easy to adapt to different jobsite needs.
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.
