MB48A - Malco - Mini Brake

Malco MB48A Portable Mini-Brake™ – Mini-Brake™ Portable.

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 assure consistent bends. A safety conscious, cam-over style clamping mechanism, similar to much larger shop-floor brakes, keeps the anvil secure in any position. Extra wide feet offer stability even when operating on a truck tailgate. Optional legs are available separately.
