Worth the price. The side coil holder could be improved slightly, making adjusting it easier, but otherwise a fantastic product.
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you find the Innovatools Modular Aluminum Brake to be a fantastic product. Your feedback on the side coil holder is appreciated, and i'll personally reach out to get extra clarifications from you to see how we can keep improving the adjustability on the Trim Coil Holder! thanks again for your order
Thanks for your business guys! Great product
Hi Ramin, thank you for your kind words! We're glad you love the product. We appreciate your support!
I was skeptical of the increase in performance beforehand, but after installing the extra 3 powerplates on my 10-6 I was able to bend .032 aluminum and 26ga steel without any trouble. I love it.
Hi Seth, we're thrilled to hear how well the Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit worked for you! That's the beauty of our design, allows you to start with a contractor grade and then upgrade the same brake to heavy-duty model simply by adding more PowerPlates!
I recently purchased the 10-foot modular aluminum bending brake from Innovatools—specifically the heavy-duty grade with the 24-inch throat depth—and I am extremely impressed.
As a contractor handling commercial structural glazing scopes of work, having equipment that is both tough and convenient to use is absolutely critical. Bending .040 and .050 aluminum sheet material is a strict requirement for our projects, and this brake makes the entire process incredibly smooth and easy. It handles exactly what we throw at it and checks every single box for commercial aluminum work.
Beyond the fantastic quality of this Canadian-made equipment, the customer service from Alex and his team is truly second to none. Their response time, expertise, and support have been outstanding from the start.
If you are in the trade and looking for reliable, top-tier equipment, I highly recommend Innovatools. I am very happy with this purchase and glad to support such a great company.

Thank you, Andre, for your kind words and detailed feedback. We're thrilled to hear that the modular aluminum brake meets your needs and that our team provided excellent support. We appreciate your trust and support for Innovatools. Looking forward to serving you in future projects.
What an awesome tool. Been scoring with a knife for years, and it started to take a toll on the shoulder and arm. don't know why I didn't buy one sooner. Cuts beautifully from the left or the right. I love that you don't have to have it at just one end of the break. It cuts so easy just like butter through the aluminum. the company it was so easy to work with and accompanying. I definitely recommend this company and this product.
Hi Cheryl, we're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the Two-Way Cutting Tool! It's great to know it makes your work easier and more comfortable. Thank you for recommending us and our product. Happy cutting!
I purchased the 24" Heavy Duty Innovatools brake at the end of last year and have now had plenty of time to put it through its paces. I'm a professional window installer, and I fabricate custom aluminum trim every day for window and door installations, so my brake gets used constantly.
The 24" throat is one of the biggest advantages for me. Working inside my enclosed trailer, I can start right at the edge of my coil stock and begin making bends without having an awkward amount of material hanging out of the brake. It makes fabricating long trim pieces much easier and more efficient.
What has impressed me the most is how well thought out every component of the system is. Nothing feels like an afterthought. The coil holder is positioned perfectly so the roller cutter extension can be used without interference, and the accessories all work together exactly as they should. It's clear that Alex and his team spent a lot of time refining a tool that had seen very little innovation for decades.
Beyond the brake itself, Innovatools' customer service is second to none. Every email I've sent has been answered quickly, and they've consistently gone above and beyond to help. That level of support is rare these days and says a lot about the company.
As someone who uses this brake professionally to make a living, I can confidently say it has been worth every penny. If you're considering buying one, don't hesitate—you won't regret it. I would gladly buy another Innovatools brake without hesitation.
Hi there! Thank you so much for your detailed and positive review. We're thrilled to hear how well the Innovatools Modular Aluminum Brake has supported your professional work and that you're satisfied with its design and performance. Your kind words about our customer service mean a lot to us. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again in the future!
Instructions and video were fantastic. Was easy to assemble. Brake works beautifully. My only complaint is that the top bar should come with screws to top it from sliding and the cross bar for the bending handles should be included. Kind of cheapens the quality of the product not including it. I can see charging for the other accessories but c'mon.
good evening Robert,
Thank you for your review, Happy to hear that the assembly went well!
I'm thinking that the top handle might need to be rotated a bit and reinserted into the red levers is that possible? can you confirm that the bolts are facing the front and the back of the brake when in the locked position as shown in assembly video? we secure it this way so that it is more comfortable on the finger tips for the operator! We've sold well over 1000 units and have yet to receive similar feedback of the handle slipping side to side so i want to confirm whether it is an assembly situation or a machining mistake on our end!
We dont automatically include the horizontal bar bending adaptor as some people don't like them and prefer just the stick handle! Our philosophy is to let people pick and choose which accessory they like as opposed to giving items that are not used!
please keep me posted on the handle situation, i want to make sure all is working as it should!
thanks again!
The machining on this thing is immaculate! Goes together like cake and works awesome 👌
Thank you for the great review!
Comments like this mean a lot because we put an enormous amount of effort into the design and machining of every Innovatools product. As a former contractor, I always believed that precision manufacturing translates directly into better performance, easier assembly, and more accurate results on the job.
I'm glad to hear your brake went together smoothly and is performing exactly as intended. We appreciate your support and look forward to helping you tackle many more projects with it.
Fits perfectly, fast shipping

Thank you innovative tool makers for updating our work performance.
Thank you for your kind words and your order! We're thrilled to hear the Innovatools Modular Aluminum Brake is making your work more efficient!
Super sturdy and very easy to move around and load/unload into pickup 5 stars!
Hi Adam, thank you for the review! happy to hear the stand makes it easy to move the brake around and is sturday! We appreciate your support!
An absolute must have accessory if you are using the 2-way cutter! Makes everything so much easier.
Hi Shea! indeed the anvil extensions are such a simple idea that add a lot of efficiency when using the cutter! thanks for your order and feedback!
Game changer, couldn’t imagine using a brake without one. Super helpful now that I can process flat stock. 2 way cut is an added bonus, each guy on site can use it to fit their preferences. No issues with it - super light glides across the brake perfectly, doesn’t interrupt during bends, cuts very easy.
The foam insert and hardcore case was an added benefit that was certainly needed, makes storing it a piece of cake.
Love it, would buy another one!
Hi Adam, thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear the two-way cutter has made such a positive difference in your work. Your satisfaction means a lot to us. If you ever need another, we'll be here!
This brake is a great upgrade from my old brake. Package was easy to recieve and assemble. Fine tuning the brake to exactly how I run it is amazing. 24" allowance , clamp depth , anvil height and locking clamp movement are easily changed and tweaked. Built a bran new bench and it looks great in my new shop set up ! Led lighting , chalkboard, spots for 16 coils and tool boxes.

Ça marche super bien sauvé du temps
Bonjour Martin! bien content d'entendre ça! :) merci!
Absolutely love this break. A couple more whistles and bells i want to get but. Bending is so smooth. Quicker then my old one that's for sure.
Thank you Joseph for your feedback! we aim to offer the most efficient bending brakes on the market!
Great product and built well
Hi David, we're so glad you like the measuring gauge!
Innovatools Modular Aluminum Brake
Hi Marcel, thank you for your 5 star rating!
Very well designed. Was easier than I thought to put it together very intuitive. I have used van mark and tapco brakes both of which are good brakes but this one has more helpful features that give it a big edge when it comes to efficiency and flexibility. I do think that it's worth the premium price difference. It is front heavy as compared to the other brands so do advise using the pull to lock over push to lock feature because when you pull to open the anvil it lifts the back up off the saw horses. Maybe the 24 in wouldn't have that issue. I'm thinking using the brake stand would probably resolve that as well but you have to consider that comes at a price..
I would recommend this break it's a good unit!
Hi Justin, thank you for your detailed review! We're thrilled to hear you found the Innovatools Modular Aluminum Brake intuitive and efficient. if you are looking to make the brake movable while staying stable the collapsible stand will be a big help compared to sawhorse! We're also working on a mounting kit that will allow to secure the brake to a bench top /sawhorses/table top/etc to further increase stability!
thanks again!
Very happy with the coil holder . Rolls smooth , fast clean cuts every time. Must have for those looking for accuracy and efficiency. Hands down best holder out there
I made a little mistake while switching the blade from right to left operation and Alex was quick to get on the phone with me and help me figure out what I had done wrong. Great product, great customer service.
Hi Dylan, thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear you're happy with the coil holder and our customer service. Your feedback means a lot to us. Enjoy your precise cuts!
Title says it all. If you're looking for a dispenser, then just buy this one so you can be super productive and save a lot of time.
Hi Mark, thank you for your fantastic feedback! We're thrilled to hear the coil dispenser is saving you time and improving your productivity.
Easy to use and is a great time saver.
Hi Jim! we're so glad to hear that the tool is saving you time and is easy to use! Thanks for sharing your experience.
