Handheld Sheet Metal Brake (2020x4)

Air date: Feb 06, 2020

For makers who use any kind of sheet metal, this is an important tool: the handheld sheet metal brake. It's basically a pair of pliers purpose-built for bending thin sheet metals. Adam has three pairs of these at different angles, and use them more than you’d think. They’re fantastic for getting nice flat bends on small tabs of metal!
