I really like the brake, it’s simple to put together and the different settings are great! Plus I got the 14’ long brake which is really nice for fascia n window trim.
Thanks Isaac.

Hi there, we're thrilled to hear you enjoy the brake and find it versatile! Thanks for sharing your experience Isaac! and thanks for your order! Enjoy your projects!

This is a game changer!
The best cutter out there . I left it out in the rain on the weekend. Thought that the rollers were stainless steel but they aren’t. So be careful and wipe it down if working in wet conditions or they will rust .

Thank you for your review Derek! happy to hear the two-way cutter is a game changer! let us know if ever you need replacement bearings!

Excellent Cutter

Couldn't be happier with my purchase. A lot of smart engineering went into this design. It cuts clean and fast in both directions, and the build quality is excellent.

Customer service has also been outstanding. I’ll definitely be buying more from Alex in the future.

Thank you, David, for your kind words! We're delighted to hear you're satisfied with the cutter and our service. We look forward to assisting you with future purchases.

Anonymous (Rochester, United States)

I bought one for my van mark brake and it doesn’t stay on the rail well and tends to not cut straight.

Good morning,

I tried looking for your order number/email to be able to give you a call to sort out what is happening and i wasn't able to find any information to be able to call so we'll reach out by email,

It is important to make sure that plunger is engaged at the back of the red body before starting the cut as shown/explained in the how to use video.

As always; i'm simply a phone call away to fix any issue with any of our products as long as i am aware of it

Works great on aluminum and good on 26 guage steel. Does not seem to like 24 guage

Hi Joe, thank you for sharing your experience. It should work just as well on 24Ga steel as 26Ga steel (with a bit more force obviously). simply reach out so that we can figure out what is happening, i'm only 1 email away!

To be honest haven’t bent any metal yet but assembling the brake I could tell it was well thought out. So I’m sure it will be an amazing piece of equipment

Hi Austin, thank you for your kind words! We're glad you find the brake well thought out, and we hope it works perfectly for your projects. Looking forward to hearing how it performs once you've bent some metal!

Game Changer

I have been bending on a hand brake for over 25 yrs and can honestly say this new brake is a significant improvement from both Tapco and van mark
Not only does it save time and physical effort , it also allows you to make tighter bends and with the 24 “ throw lets you achieve some pcs that were unable to do on the other brands
Back and front gauges are designed well and are a must have to get full potential out if the unit in my opinion
2 way cutter wheel is nice as well as the coil holder and guillotine cutter
I’ve had this for about 8 mths and have run at least 50 000 ft of cladding with it with no issues
I did end up dropping the 2 way cutter wheel and breaking a pc and with a quick call to the company Alex was quick to respond to the issue and sent out a replacement pc at no charge ( even though it was not the tools issue )
So customer service is excellent!
Price point is impressive and comparative to other brands
Al and all I strongly recommend this unit whether your just learning or a seasoned bender , you will appreciate this brake design !

Hi Brian, thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience! We're thrilled to hear how much the Innovatools Modular Aluminum Brake has improved your bending process and that our customer service met your expectations. Your recommendation means a lot to us.

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.

Hi Brian, thanks for your feedback! Glad to hear you're happy with the clean cut.

Unfortunately some models of brakes do not allow for ''deeper grooves'' as it would interfere with the brake while rolling.

that being said it shouldn't slip off, slip off can happen from the plunger not being engaged before starting the cut.

If you do still not side ''slip off'' while the plunger is engaged please send me a video so that we can sort out what is happening and fix it up!

thanks again! :)
