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!

Whatevurb99 says:

My boss had a few of these tools. I never saw anyone else with these pliers. I always thought my boss welded them from a set of regular vice grip pliers and some scrap metal since he often made special tools for certain jobs. Had no idea these were a regular tool

Paul Speakman says:

I was an aluminum products installer for several years and these are indispensable.
