Double pli

J’ai de la difficulté avec les plis doubles.

ça semble trop raide pour les jonction de la plieuse malgré le vis qui sont assez serrées

Plieuse raide

Notre plieuse est extrêmement raide quand on lève le manche qui plie et aussi la coupeuse fait des waves dans les feuilles d'aluminium. Je suis extrêmement déçu

12’ 6” brake

Love it. Wish it was available 20 years ago. Will be upgrading to 20’ in the near future.

Hi Joe, we're thrilled to hear you love the brake! Excited for your upgrade to 20 feet—thanks for choosing Innovatools Canada!

Cutter

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!

Innovatools Modular Aluminum Brake
Brian Millard (Edmonton, Canada)
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! :)

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.
