A word of advice... don't cheap out if you buy one. I bought my 1st one from northern tool (chinese crap) and ended up giving it away. Spend a few dollars more for a good one. There are usually a few used one s on market place. Tennsmith, Chicago and Roper Whitney are a couple of good ones I have had experience with. My Roper 4' box and pan is listed as a 22 ga brake. I normally am bending .040 aluminum on it but it will bend 16ga steel with no issue

Picture of my box brake as well as the 10' Roper that is for sale

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
