MechMaxx 48" Manual Pan and Box Brake with 16 Gauge Capacity, ...
The 48" Compact Box and Pan Sheet Metal Brake is a versatile, space-efficient solution designed for precision bending in light to medium-duty fabrication work. Built to handle its rated capacity with ease, this brake delivers consistent performance for workshops, HVAC applications, and general metalworking tasks.
With a 48-inch working length and the ability to bend up to 16-gauge mild steel, this unit is ideal for smaller projects that still require accuracy and flexibility. Its compact footprint makes it perfect for tight workspaces while still providing professional-grade results.
Constructed with a heavy-duty welded steel frame and reinforced bracing, this brake is designed to minimize flex and maintain accuracy during operation. The adjustable clamping blade and precision pressure beam allow operators to fine-tune bending pressure, helping prevent material distortion and ensuring clean, consistent bends.
Precision-ground hardened steel fingers are fully removable and interchangeable, allowing for a wide range of box and pan configurations. A counter-balanced handle improves ease of use and control during operation.
This brake is a great choice for users who need reliable bending performance in a smaller, more manageable machine. It's well-suited for fabrication shops, maintenance work, and DIY metalworking where precision and flexibility are key.

Built like a tank
It handles my F-250 like it's nothing. 12,000 lb capacity gives me confidence with the heavy trucks. Best investment I've made for my garage.

Easiest garage upgrade I've ever done
These tiles just snap together, no glue, no tools, no prep. Whole two-car garage done in one afternoon. Cleans up with just a hose.

Worth every penny
Bought the MEC10 to dig trenches on my property. Compact enough to fit through my gate but digs almost 66 inches. Saved me thousands vs. hiring out.
