I want to bend up some ~12 ga. CRS but
I don't want to buy or house a big brake.

I need 6" width maximum.
After Googling over the past few days,
I have not located a chunky little brake
that will do that for me.

Can you recommend a tool that will
do that please?

Thanks!


There are two small brakes I can think of that "might" work.

One fits in the jaws of a bench vise, and you use the force of the vise to
operate the brake. You could probably make one if you have some suitable
scraps laying around.

The other is called a press brake, and works basically the same way except
you operate it with a hydraulic press.

Unless you made one with multiple blades neither would work well as a box
brake.
