Just a piece of friendly advice. Don't ever run your knife all the way through the length of the piece you are bending when cutting off to finish. Those blade slices/cuts in the actual brake parts will get you fired, cost you quite a bit to repair, or will scratch the material. Not very smart for any of those things to happen. Your bottom dollar, and quality of work/pride, will definitely suffer. And definitely not efficient by any means. Completely opposite of being efficient if you're damaging equipment and/or product being installed. Well over 10 yrs. as the ground man/sole metal brake man. Senior installer with over 20 yrs. in the siding/replacement window sector of home remodeling. Traveled multiple states. Worked without any down-time for numerous companies with top-notch pay scale premium. Possibly the top tier siding crew in Louisville, KY. and surrounding areas from 1993-1998.

Good morning Kevin! Thank you for your comment, i would beg to differ; if you take the time to swap your knife around at every cut to prevent cutting past the material you're adding 3 secs to every cut. If you're making on average 150 cuts per day that 450sec(7.5mins) per day that is spent swapping your knife around. This equals to 37.5mins a week or 1875mins (31hours) per year. It would take me roughly 4 to 5 years to chew through a hinge but in that time frame i would have saved over 120-150hours which increased my production by 120-150hours. It was much more productive/efficient/profitable to wear out a brake and make an extra 120hours of installation and every 4-5years id buy myself a brand new brake as well, (or just change the hinge for 1000$ depending on the rest of the brake). The beauty with our innovatools brake is that the hinge design has clearance past the stainless edge so you wont damage the hinge dragging it across unlike on other brands 😉
