3-N-1 Metal shear, brake,roller advice

[dfkrug]

....I'd say avoid these machines at any price....

I agree.

I had that unit years ago, but mine was sold as an "Enco". I bought it
used (but never actually used) from a guy for a couple hundred. Sold
it a year or so later for about the same.

I used the finger brake. That was fair for light-gauge galvanized, 26ga.
Heavier, forget it unless you were bending only 6" pieces. I used the
roller for some wire and some small pieces of 24 ga. galv. That was
not too bad.

The shear? Fuggedaboutit.

Glad I got rid of it. I told the buyer about my opinions, and he still wanted
it. Go figure.
