KAKA FB-4 Flat Steel Metal Brake Bender, 4-Inch Hand Operated Steel Bending Brake, 2.5 Tons Press Bending And Create Up To 90 Degree, High Flexibility, Easy Operation Sheet Metal Forming Bender

Looking to create crisp bends in your flat steel plate, but don't want to spend a fortune on heavy machinery? Look no further than the KAKA FB-4 Flat Steel Metal Brake Bender. This compact bender may be hand-operated, but it is capable of producing bends up to 90 degrees at a capacity of up to 2.5 tons. While the bender is designed for flat steel, some users have used it to successfully bend aluminum tubing and flat bar. As with any tool, the KAKA FB-4 has its limitations. Some users have reported bending pins or breaking plates while attempting to bend thicker materials like 3/16" steel plates, and others have found that the bender cannot produce bends that are less than an inch apart. However, with a little creativity and customization, one user was able to create their own shoe to achieve a 1/8" radius bend. While the KAKA FB-4 may not have the power to handle heavy-duty industrial projects, it is an excellent choice for light to medium-duty DIY projects. At a reasonable price point and with a small footprint, this bending brake is an impressive tool for any home workshop.
