Description

Make big or small fabrications on the job with this lightweight and portable tool! The versatile Mini Brake produces bends up to 135 degrees in sheet metals, including aluminum, copper and 22-gauge galvanized steel. The brake's compact size can accommodate sheet metal stock up to 4-feet wide, in any length, because there is no fixed throat depth to contend with. Use the Mini Brake anywhere on the job site, even on a truck tailgate, for a variety of fabricating tasks from large HVAC transitions to narrow roof flashing to structures as small as a 4-inch square. Strengthening ribs on the brake's anvil and apron ensure consistent bends. A safety- conscious, cam-over style clamping mechanism, similar to much larger shop- floor brakes, keeps the anvil secure in any position. Optional legs are available separately. From the Manufacturer Malco's new Mini Brake is lightweight and compact, but it can do a heavy-duty job. Ideal for fabricating plenums and large transitions at the job site, the Malco Mini Brake easily makes bends up to 135 degrees in galvanized sheet metal up to 22 gauge. It can accommodate sheet metal up to 4 feet wide and any length because there is no fixed throat depth to contend with. The Mini Brake is also capable of making compact fabrications as small as a 4-inch square. Strengthening ribs on the brakes's anvil and apron assure consistent, tightly formed bends. A safety- conscious, cam-over style clamping mechanism, similar to much larger brakes, keeps the anvil secure in any position. At only 58 pounds net-weight the Mini Brake is easy to transport. Its compact size is suitable for use virtually anywhere on the job-site. Extra-wide bases offer stability even when operating on a truck tailgate. Optional legs are sold separately and are easily installed on site. The portable Malco Mini Brake is truly a breakthrough product for busy professionals.

  • Built tough
Pattern Name: Utility Jack
Great tool for bending metal and fabricating flashing and other things. Built tough, not for the weak. It's heavy but it's stable and it works as intended. I registered my unit for the warranty period and received a very nice catalog and welcome pack to the Malco family. After having to fight with other manufacturers over trivial items this was a pleasant surprise. Great company and great tools. Glad I finally bought this. ... show more

  • Holy crap, bends 24 gauge steel in folds as small as 1/8”
Pattern Name: Utility Jack
Let me tell yall what!!! Career roofer, metal fabricator here! I got this for a historic project, fabbing lots fancy metals on an old house. 24 GAUGE STEEL! Thick boy stuff! Bends it like no other! And this sucker can make a bend as small as a freaking 1/8”!! No other portable break can bends smaller than 3/4”!! Or 24 gauge! I tried the cheaper brakes on here, but they have to screw down instead of the lever clamps like a real brick, they can’t bend more than 90 and or smaller than 1”. Nothing compares to this plus it’s so portable, I mean it’s probably 40 lbs but it doesn’t take up a bunch of space 100/100 all the crews are getting one now ... show more

  • Works great
Pattern Name: Utility Jack
Great for small projects, You just need to start with scrap to get tension settings correct before bending your project so that bends are true and sharpe

  • Excellent tool, heavy duty for a portable brake and good price
Pattern Name: Utility Jack
Excellent tool, heavy duty for a portable brake and good price for a DIY giy. It's 4' so obviously cross breaks have to be less than 4'. I ripped 22 gauge to 42" and built all the ducts I needed. End caps aren't a problem if you bend opposite sides then flatten just 3" with seemers, for the other two folds. the prefold will easily bend back up. Lastly, there's no instructions on how to align or calibrate for an even right fold. It's simple: using two half inch wrenches secure the head of the bolt and loosen the nut to open the gap, tighten it to close it. Cheers. Good luck ... show more

  • Very poor results
Pattern Name: Utility Jack
I'm very surprised at the 5 star reviews. I must be missing something. I've worked with 24 and 26 gauge sheet metal for 30 years and have never seen such poor results. The bend is far from crisp. I get better results just using a handheld drive bender. Very poor design.
