.Â* I've never seen one before.Â* It's basically a press brake in pliers
form :-).Â* Makes bends up to 4" long in up to 0.6 mm (0.024") thick
material. Description says "Portable manual metal bender plier tool is
mainly used in bending the material thickness within 0.6mm and width
within 100mm iron edgings, aluminum fiber edge or stainless steel letter
edges."Â* What are fiber or letter edges?Â* Looks cute, but does it have
sufficient leverage or do you need to be the Hulk to squeeze the
handles?Â* Can anyone say if it's a real tool or will it break on the
third pull?

I think if you 'overloaded' it those vertical linkages that are in
compression would buckle very quickly.

Maybe the letter edges is something to do with signage?
