Will the cutoff tool work on different brakes? Would it work for now on my van mark, and then when i can afford to upgrade to an innova brake, will it work the same?
good morning John, each brand of brake will have its own specific roller/bearing configuration but when you decide to get our bending brake simply let us know and we'll send you the replacement sides to allow you to convert the roller/bearing configuration so that it works with your new Innovatools modular brake, we can supply the necessary part with your new brake order. let us know if you have any other question thanks!
Sir! This is shockingly good work, stunning quality. Its been at least a decade since ive seen a builder put such care into a home. The layers of caulk so such attention to detail! Anyway: i am trying to figure out how to manipulate sheet so i can build caps for some exposed decorative 2x12 beams that are 30’ long. What tools do you recommend for long straight cuts and 90 degree bends?
thank you for the kind words! we can offer a 30ft long Innovatools Modular Brake ;)
On the heavier gauge steals, I like to crush it before completing the hem! Definitely helps if you're solo operator. Awesome video love my HD innovatool brake

Ill give that a try! Never thought about it!:) thanks for the tip and the kind words!
I wish you had been building brakes when I bought mine years ago. If I ever sell mine, may be tempted to get yours. I love the way they work.
Thanks for the kind words! We hope to serve you some day!:)
Hey Alex, Bryan Flemming in southern mn. I bought a brake from you and its an amazing tool. Your roof looks great! I myself also hate having exposed fasteners. Since we use steel trim coil for all our wraps i have found that small yet very strong magnets are great while my caulking sets up. I know most guys use aluminum but if you are ever triming something in steel and cant get a miter to lay right or just need something to stay until the caulk sets up. Magnets are a great trick to have in your back pocket to make things lay perfect.
Great tip! Thanks for the kind words and the order and support Bryan!
What was the tool you mentioned to crimp the triangle piece before putting on the cap? Really cool video.
Its a gutter end cap crimper, well at least that's how i call it😂 hehe thanks for watching!
Damn i need this so bad. Will it work with van mark? My next brake is going to be an innova for sure. Love the just bend guages by the way!
no the brake mounted option will be only for our Innovatools Modular brake! let us know if you have any other question!
Damn how much would that run a guy? Thats beautiful
for this level of customization you're looking at 1850$. let us know if you have any other question!

Glad to see your company expanding. You have a really nice/unique product. If I ever sold one or both of my brakes, I’d love to get one of your 24” models 12’ long.
thank you! we hope to get your feedback on our products one day! :)
well im not droping it
Shoecasing that you can now go left to right and right to left as opposed to just a single way like previosuly required 👍
Don't have a clue what he's making. Just an ad for a tool company.
bending ridge caps for the curved/angled ridges ? but we are a tool company yes ;)
Love seeing our tools being used on those intricate projects! Your mind and skills are the only limit to what you can achieve!#innovatools #artwork #construction #steelroof #contractor #talent #tools
Is this the start or a section? Or do you repeat that until you reach the top
Hey im not sure i understand your question?
@@innovatoolsinc can i repeat this piece to finish a wall of aluminum siding from bottom to top?
Yes this is just 1 "panel"
You couldn't of 1 peiced it
What do you mean?
Falls off all day. Annoying as shit
What falls off? It only comes off sideways? Its physically impossible for it to fall off during regular brake operation unless it is twisted sideways for relocation or removal?
All you have to do is straighten the back bar and that goes away. Sometimes you just drop the back of the break over a 4 x 4 block and it straightens the whole frame out. Super easy.
Haha well we prefer offering top quality products that dont require you to drop them on 4x4 to make them work as intended 🤪🤪🤪
Beautiful and fast! Nice work.
thanks!
Inches 😂
What kind of brake is that . Where did you get the magnetic measure poles at ? How much was the brake $$$ And where to get one
Good morning, it is one of our different accessory that we offer! You can find pricing and information on our brakes and accessories directly on our website; innovatools.ca/collections/innovatools-siding-brake Let us know if you have any other question!
If I am transporting in an 8’ box, do I have to leave the tailgate open or can I keep it closed and have the brake angled up and out the back of the truck bed?
Which ever way you are comfortable with i would say?!
How do you adjust the pressure for the locking mechanism? Is there a separate adjustment or is it the same one as for the handle stiffness?
Watch the video about how to adjust the clamping pressure on our channel;) simply turn the 9/16" bolt on the adjuster clockwaise following the directions on the video!
Getting ready to order the just bend it for my 10'6" van mark 11 brake. I never purchased a stand or wheel kit through Vanmark when I originally purchased it because I thought it would be a pain in the ass to load up onto a ladder rack. I was getting a break up onto a rack with your legs installed on the brake.
we try and design tools to make every day tasks easier! ;)
Will it bend 22 gauge?
24g for steel
Whats the longest length of coil that you can bend efficiently?
What do you mean?
I don't think that it would make me splurge on this. You just get used to working on whichever brake you get.
Thanks for your feedback! But this is just 1 feature of many more! Gotta look at the complete tool and not jist that feature;)
@@innovatoolsinc sorry I've only seen the KZread short of it and commented on that alone.
@@matthewcater821 have a look at the other videos on our channel ;) or our website; www.innovatools.ca have a good weekend!
@@innovatoolsinc ok thank you
Awesomeness on the new brake and all the extras
Thanks!
Finally!! . Ive been waiting since the presale of the benders!, had one before and really missing it.
Its moving along well! Patents have been applied to and now we're working on a few more details working out the manufacturing!
How much a complete set up
Good evening Josh, that complete setup as displayed is around 5500$ for everything, this includes; the contractor grade 10'6"long 24" deep with two way cutter+ anvil extensions+ double material stopper + magnetic measuring tool + collapsible stand with 4 wheels and the step on platform. www.innovatools.ca
Soon! Later this year or next we plan to pick one up.
let us know if you have any question! thanks!
Super efficient (when there's no flipping needed of course). Thanks for the tips and for sharing your innovations.
time is money! thanks for following!
Hopefully it can cut 24 gauge steel
do they make 24g steel in a 24'' wide rolled coil? 🤔
material for residential standing seam steel usually is 20in coil.
@@rayckwok in 24g thickness? :S didn't think they could roll that thick of material, i was under the impression that it came as sheets at that thickness, we'll have to test it/try it out! :)

What a great idea, I’m sure is so much easier to ship this way. I wish you had been around years ago when I bought my J-Dan. It’s a nice brake but they went out of business.
You guys are killing it keep up the awesome work
Thank you Ron! it's a lot of fun when you're doing it out of passion! we got a great team here!
What changes were made to the version 2 of the brake?
the main thing would be; much easier assembly (basically one model of connector and 1 model of bolt throughout), we were also able to make it a little more compact (1'' lower on the height and 1.5'' narrower on the depth for the same capacity). We also modified the back rail and front rail to be able to rest it on saw horses easier. Same great features just some slight improvements because of our new manufacturing equipment we had to redesign some of the parts so decided to simplify a little bit of everything!
Looks like the rail that the cutter rides on is more out of the way now. When you wanna crush a hem on the old version that rail is in the way
Sucks i just bought the brake would have waited to get a version 2.
We had to relocate it to give a flat surface for our new machine to have a flat clamping surface, but it shouldn't have any impact in interference with hemming? Send me an email with more details; [email protected] thanks! @@NUMENOREAN91
@@NUMENOREAN91you most likely got a better price as we are about to increase the price!
Please post a video how you would go about cutting a bunch of 1 1/2” flat stock using your systems
Depends how you're cutting? With a blade knife or a cutting slitter?
Using your whole system. The material stopper, the slitter, the measure sticks….. i can do flat stock with knife and your measure sticks… but curious how you would make 1 1/2” flat stock using the slitter on a pro 14 brake with slitter.
@@aluminumtrim do you do 1.5" wide often? Seems very narrow of a piece to start with? The stopper wont go down to 1.5" so i would probably use the stoppers to rip down to 12" then into 6in and then 3" and then slice the 3inches into the (2) 1.5" using the magnetic measuring tools? That what i think would be the most efficient? Once you have the (2) 12s in the beginning double stack them to cut 2 thick at a time? Let me know if that makes sense?
Makes sense to me… but yeah, i have to make 1” to 1 1/2” flat stock often and was trying to wrap my brain how i could achieve it with the slitter efficiently. Would be fast af. Just the measure gauges get in way of slitter… i wonder if i could improvise a peace on the stopper to go back farther into the anvil of the brake to catch at a 1 1/2….
@@aluminumtrim or cut (2) 12", stack them and then pull the stoppers towards the front by 1" (or 1.5" or which ever measurment) so that the material comes out of the brake for the size you need to cut and go through this process until you no longer can
I’d love to see the material stopper designed to turn on the tapco/ vanmark brakes like on this brake
🔥🔥🔥🏃🏼♂️
You should have a 5 gal bucket to throw your cutoffs in
I use to when i was doing it for a.living! Hehe this is on my house so sometimes the mindset is not the same, mind you now i have to pick up my own pieces so i should be even more diligent🤣😉
i will never know why some guys like the push to lock. but very cool you have either option on your brake.
We prefer our users to choose how they prefer to operate their brake as opposed to us forcing them to use a certain way
impressive. How flat will the top handles lay down? I tend to lay my aluminum on top of the brake to make marks, will the handles go down parallel to the ground so I can lay my sheet on top of the brake? ?
It goes flat in storage mode (need to remove the arm pins) but the whole point of our brake and accessories is to NOT have to do any premarking before bending, you shouldnt need to do any marking with our system saving that whole unecessary step!
@@innovatoolsinc when bending a simple door header one or simple piece of trim, its simplier to just make my marks than to use stopper and gauges…. Hence my need for the top of the brake to be flat. That’s how i use the pro 14 and i have your system on it. Just no need to use for one or two pieces of trim. But very handy for larger trim work. Just wish i could lay the top of your brake flat. Coil would lay flat up there even better than the pro 14. Just habits of the trade and will always be of use for my line of work. I have to have the top of my brake. It’s honestly the only reason i still have the pro 14 and not ordered your brake. Every thing else is amazing about that brake! Did a good job.
@@aluminumtrim thanks, with the 24" depth you just feed the sheet in and pull to your measurement you need and start bending right away to be honest in my opinion.... the pro 14 wont give you a full flat surface i dont think unless im missing something? Before the measuring guages and when i was premarking i would simply set the sheet in the hinge pocket and rest it against the closing handle that way the sheet was about 45deg angle making it much easier to mark in my opinion as opposed to leaning over a flat piece no?
It’s easy to flip my metal to the top of my brake to make a quick mark as the crank handle will lay flat back. A mark my metal on top of my brake all the time…. Just not a habit that will be broken after 25 years. As well as many old timers in the business. It’s same review im getting showing some others around the company here.
@@aluminumtrim every habit can be broken if a better option is found ;) i personally use to have it standing on a 45deg laying in the lip resting on the top handle on my tapco brakes when i first started operating brakes already 22 years ago now :s time flies! I dont premark my coil stock anymore but laying it on 45 to premark on our brake is even easier with the handle running across the whole length of the brake giving a flat surface
🔥🔥🔥
A compass works great to transfer lines
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 😉
After using VanMark for the last 15 years I am painfully aware of what you're talking about, it was such a habit to bend the ends back that I caught myself doing it on my new Innovatools brake when I didn't have to.
We're very proud of our Innovatools Modular brakes bending as straight as an arrow!:) thank you for your order!
I just purchased the stoppers and guages. Been in the business for 25 years. Im sure i will have to use them to get efficient with them but im certain will speed things up
Awesome! Thank you for your support! It's the little things that make a big difference at the end of every week!
