Two-Way Cutting Tool to Fit Van-Mark** Brakes
Brian Koen (Springfield, United States)

Nice tool, the top wheels that ride the edge… grooves could be deeper allowing more engagement which could help eliminate slipping off. Otherwise great tool, leaves a very clean cut without sharp burr.

Ma plieuse reste pris quand je fait un plis

Merci pour votre commentaire. Ce que vous décrivez est très simple à corriger et ne devrait pas se produire.

N’hésitez surtout pas à me téléphoner directement lorsque vous rencontrez des situations où quelque chose ne fonctionne pas comme il se devrait. Dans ce cas-ci, un appel d’une minute devrait nous permettre d’identifier le problème et de vous expliquer l’ajustement nécessaire immédiatement.

Nous incluons d’ailleurs une fiche d’assistance avec chaque commande afin d’encourager nos clients à nous contacter directement lorsqu’ils ont une question ou rencontrent un problème. Je préfère toujours avoir l’occasion de vous aider immédiatement plutôt que de vous laisser travailler avec un équipement qui ne fonctionne pas comme il devrait.

Je vais communiquer avec vous directement afin que nous puissions régler ça rapidement et que votre deuxième plieuse fonctionne aussi bien que la première.

Two-Way Cutting Tool to Fit Van-Mark** Brakes
William Mcmillan (Baltimore, United States)

Don’t like it! It hangs up on the end of the cut. It also rolls the edge down on one side of the cut. Would not recommend this tool!

Thank you for your feedback. I reached out to you personally after seeing this review because what you're describing is not normal operation of the tool and I want to understand exactly what is happening.

During our conversation, you mentioned that the tool does not create the same issue when cutting in the opposite direction. That tells me there is something specific happening that we need to identify, which is why I asked if you could send me a short video showing the issue. Once I can see exactly what the tool is doing, I should be able to determine what's happening and help resolve it.

I also want to remind customers reading this that we include a help sheet with my personal cellphone number with every shipment specifically encouraging customers to contact us if they experience an issue or have questions. I make myself very accessible because I would much rather have the opportunity to troubleshoot a problem than have a customer remain dissatisfied with one of our products.

I take product performance and customer feedback seriously. If something isn't working as intended, I want to know about it and have the opportunity to understand why and make it right.

I'm looking forward to receiving the video so we can determine what's happening and get this resolved.

Worth the price. The side coil holder could be improved slightly, making adjusting it easier, but otherwise a fantastic product.

Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you find the Innovatools Modular Aluminum Brake to be a fantastic product. Your feedback on the side coil holder is appreciated, and i'll personally reach out to get extra clarifications from you to see how we can keep improving the adjustability on the Trim Coil Holder! thanks again for your order

Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit
Seth Forrestier (Denver, United States)

I was skeptical of the increase in performance beforehand, but after installing the extra 3 powerplates on my 10-6 I was able to bend .032 aluminum and 26ga steel without any trouble. I love it.

Hi Seth, we're thrilled to hear how well the Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit worked for you! That's the beauty of our design, allows you to start with a contractor grade and then upgrade the same brake to heavy-duty model simply by adding more PowerPlates!

Exceptional Equipment and Second-to-None Service from Alex

I recently purchased the 10-foot modular aluminum bending brake from Innovatools—specifically the heavy-duty grade with the 24-inch throat depth—and I am extremely impressed.

As a contractor handling commercial structural glazing scopes of work, having equipment that is both tough and convenient to use is absolutely critical. Bending .040 and .050 aluminum sheet material is a strict requirement for our projects, and this brake makes the entire process incredibly smooth and easy. It handles exactly what we throw at it and checks every single box for commercial aluminum work.

Beyond the fantastic quality of this Canadian-made equipment, the customer service from Alex and his team is truly second to none. Their response time, expertise, and support have been outstanding from the start.

If you are in the trade and looking for reliable, top-tier equipment, I highly recommend Innovatools. I am very happy with this purchase and glad to support such a great company.

- Andre, London Glass Solutions

Thank you, Andre, for your kind words and detailed feedback. We're thrilled to hear that the modular aluminum brake meets your needs and that our team provided excellent support. We appreciate your trust and support for Innovatools. Looking forward to serving you in future projects.

Two-Way Cutting Tool to Fit Van-Mark** Brakes

2 way cutter

What an awesome tool. Been scoring with a knife for years, and it started to take a toll on the shoulder and arm. don't know why I didn't buy one sooner. Cuts beautifully from the left or the right. I love that you don't have to have it at just one end of the break. It cuts so easy just like butter through the aluminum. the company it was so easy to work with and accompanying. I definitely recommend this company and this product.

Hi Cheryl, we're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the Two-Way Cutting Tool! It's great to know it makes your work easier and more comfortable. Thank you for recommending us and our product. Happy cutting!

Innovatools Modular Aluminum Brake
Arkbuiltconst (Omaha, United States)

I purchased the 24" Heavy Duty Innovatools brake at the end of last year and have now had plenty of time to put it through its paces. I'm a professional window installer, and I fabricate custom aluminum trim every day for window and door installations, so my brake gets used constantly.

The 24" throat is one of the biggest advantages for me. Working inside my enclosed trailer, I can start right at the edge of my coil stock and begin making bends without having an awkward amount of material hanging out of the brake. It makes fabricating long trim pieces much easier and more efficient.

What has impressed me the most is how well thought out every component of the system is. Nothing feels like an afterthought. The coil holder is positioned perfectly so the roller cutter extension can be used without interference, and the accessories all work together exactly as they should. It's clear that Alex and his team spent a lot of time refining a tool that had seen very little innovation for decades.

Beyond the brake itself, Innovatools' customer service is second to none. Every email I've sent has been answered quickly, and they've consistently gone above and beyond to help. That level of support is rare these days and says a lot about the company.

As someone who uses this brake professionally to make a living, I can confidently say it has been worth every penny. If you're considering buying one, don't hesitate—you won't regret it. I would gladly buy another Innovatools brake without hesitation.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your detailed and positive review. We're thrilled to hear how well the Innovatools Modular Aluminum Brake has supported your professional work and that you're satisfied with its design and performance. Your kind words about our customer service mean a lot to us. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again in the future!

Innovatools Modular Aluminum Brake
Robert Zimmerman (Buffalo, United States)

Instructions and video were fantastic. Was easy to assemble. Brake works beautifully. My only complaint is that the top bar should come with screws to top it from sliding and the cross bar for the bending handles should be included. Kind of cheapens the quality of the product not including it. I can see charging for the other accessories but c'mon.

good evening Robert,

Thank you for your review, Happy to hear that the assembly went well!

I'm thinking that the top handle might need to be rotated a bit and reinserted into the red levers is that possible? can you confirm that the bolts are facing the front and the back of the brake when in the locked position as shown in assembly video? we secure it this way so that it is more comfortable on the finger tips for the operator! We've sold well over 1000 units and have yet to receive similar feedback of the handle slipping side to side so i want to confirm whether it is an assembly situation or a machining mistake on our end!

We dont automatically include the horizontal bar bending adaptor as some people don't like them and prefer just the stick handle! Our philosophy is to let people pick and choose which accessory they like as opposed to giving items that are not used!

please keep me posted on the handle situation, i want to make sure all is working as it should!

thanks again!

The machining on this thing is immaculate! Goes together like cake and works awesome 👌

Thank you for the great review!

Comments like this mean a lot because we put an enormous amount of effort into the design and machining of every Innovatools product. As a former contractor, I always believed that precision manufacturing translates directly into better performance, easier assembly, and more accurate results on the job.

I'm glad to hear your brake went together smoothly and is performing exactly as intended. We appreciate your support and look forward to helping you tackle many more projects with it.

Two-Way Cutting Tool to Fit Van-Mark** Brakes
Adam Gliwinski (Toronto, Canada)
2 way cutter

Game changer, couldn’t imagine using a brake without one. Super helpful now that I can process flat stock. 2 way cut is an added bonus, each guy on site can use it to fit their preferences. No issues with it - super light glides across the brake perfectly, doesn’t interrupt during bends, cuts very easy.
The foam insert and hardcore case was an added benefit that was certainly needed, makes storing it a piece of cake.
Love it, would buy another one!

Hi Adam, thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear the two-way cutter has made such a positive difference in your work. Your satisfaction means a lot to us. If you ever need another, we'll be here!
