Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For crews bending trim daily, the PRO 14's hemming motion holds material securely so bends stay crisp, while the toggle lock cuts down on fatigue over long runs. Keep the hinge and clamping edges clean of metal shavings for the best bend quality, and match brake length to the longest trim pieces you fabricate on site. If most of your work is chimney flashing and short casing, a shorter brake may be easier to handle.
Wear gloves and eye protection when bending and handling coil stock, as cut metal edges are sharp.
Order the Tapco PRO 14 Brake to bend custom siding and roofing trim right on the jobsite.
