Sheet Metal Brake

   / Sheet Metal Brake #11  
I had a small job to do, needing a variety of pieces. I took my list to a soffit and gutter shop expecting to get an estimate for them to stop out and do the install. The guy said "got a minute" and proceeded to fly through the list in a matter of minutes. Then he told me the price and I was shocked at how little he wanted. I tossed him some cash, grabbed my pile of aluminum, and headed out. Later found out he rounded everything up giving me extra pieces.
I've also had a shop do an install and they fly through that with true skill.

What he said. I used to hang siding so would often bend up clads, wraps and facia for walk-in DIYers. Renting a brake isn't a dumb idea either as long as you don't waste a lot. I believe it is around $100-120 for a 2x50' roll.
