3-in-1 Combination Shear, Brake and Roll

admin

I have a question about those 3-in-1 combination tools for sheet metal.I'm looking for a shear+brake for 20g max and found 5 very similar models:BaileighWoodWardJETBirminghamHarbor FreightThey look almost identical from the design. Does anyone have one of those models and can share some experience?Is it the same manufacturer but different branding, or is there a good and bad (bad as in a cloned tool with lesser quality)?It would be tempting to go with the model from HF at the upcoming 4th of July 25% sale
Reply:they are all equally crappy.Jet is probably the best about keeping parts in stock, but they charge more for it.the only decent 3- in - ones ever made were the original Triok machines from the 70's, which all of these are a bad copy of. http://www.sterlingmachinery.com/db-...20Brochure.pdf
