@@bw3506 Brother, go get this as soon as the doors open tomorrow this is one of the best purchases for the shop I've ever made ! I'm having so much fun with this thing I have to stop or I'm going to run out of scrap metal playing around with it....😅
I want to thank all of My D.I.Y. guys and gals for tuning in every week and helping the channel grow ! and a special thanks to those followers buying us a coffee at: ko-fi.com/guzzifabrication If you have any video ideas or suggestions, leave them in the comment, and again THANK YOU !
Thanks for the heads up on this! Gotta get me one of these! With a little fabrication, this could be set up to do sheet metal stampings for small parts or patch panels. Some of the 3D printing plastics are strong enough to get good aluminum stampings, and decent stampings in mild steel. Also, if you break the 3D printed die, toss it and print another.
@@jjohns17 you're going to love this press break dude I am so stoked about this ! I just purchased a bamboo Labs 3D printer, I'm getting into making prototype parts one-offs very very cool 😎 Hey thanks for the comment and for watching !
@@numbskullskills man this thing is awesome !! There are a lot of tools that are becoming affordable these days... Yeah it wasn't always like that.... Thanks for the comment and the support !!!!
Robert, watching this channel is dangerous for my budget😂. Actually I watched another review of this tool a couple days ago and was impressed. I like the Swag Offroad one, but it’s a kit and more expensive. I figured I have so many HF metalworking tools (E wheel, planishing hammer, tubing roller, etc.) why stop now. If it wasn’t for the HF tools, I don’t think I’d be working with metal as much as I am. I just wish American companies could make these tools more affordable.
I have the swag off road finger brake but the bottom die on this HF looks way better. The swag one is just a piece of 90 angle that you have to weld. The HF is a true one piece die. Makes me jealous.
@@UnconventionalMetal harbor freight has really stepped up their quality, I still have a jack that I bought from them when they were mail order only no brick and mortar stores.... A couple of years ago they put in a harbor freight maybe a mile from the shop, this is a really beefy well put together press brake, you're going to love it. Has always thank you for the comment and following the channel !
Thank you I am incredibly happy with this !!! Really fun to put together and use I know it sounds probably dumb but I've been wanting one of these for a very long time.... You're going to be happy with yours.... Thanks for the comment I really appreciate it.
@@brucethoel3636 Boooooom !!! mind blown dude why didn't you tell me that while I was building it ? Yeah that's a great idea hey thanks for the comment !
Great videos! You are very skilled. Swag Off-road in Oregon has been making these brakes for harbor freight press’s for years. Looks like harbor freight finally copied his idea.
@@62tommytech Hey thanks ! yeah I saw that portaband stand that he made a few years ago, I heard he has some pretty cool stuff I have to go check his page out again. Thanks for the comment !!!
Watched yours and another review a few days ago, both positive. I made one to bend 3" strap for a project. It worked well on the press, but could have been better. I'll soon be adding this to my shop.
You are not going to regret this investment ! I love this press... If your doing production or multiple straps, your life is going to get easier ! Thanks for the comment !
Hey Robert, thanks for the video and product review, a lot of people put down Harbour Freight because of quality but hey man, nothing looks cheap about that! Very impressive! Have a great rest of the week my friend!
Hey thanks man, I'm glad the video was helpful, and you're right, this press brake is a beast. Thanks for supporting the channel and have a great week as well !
Really a great purchase and demonstration. Thanks! Just a tip - if you slightly round over and polish the top edges of the die, you will reduce the marring on the outside of the workpiece. Again, great VID!
Hey brother!!! I'm glad you got a new toy, I mean tool for the shop!!! Lol every time you release the pressure it sounds like a dog howling at the moon!!! Lol hope ur doing great brother!!!
DUDE you just cost me money!! Thanks 👍

@guzzifabrication3448 Definitely gotta get one. Thanks again.
@bw3506 👍
Dude you are insane
Fabricating cars back to life and making your own tools hahaha
Nice

Replacing the manual jack is the way to go! Great video!
@@ST-cy6we man you ain't kidding ! I finally feel like somebody with the air assist hydraulic jack ! I'm having so much fun with this !

@ that’s right I forgot the Swag one is angle iron. I’m definitely getting the HF one then.

Coyotes outside 3:59 Robert's shop
@@tucobenedicto1780 Dude that's so funny ! I listen to the video again it did sound like that....
I thought it was the giant rooster in the office.........
@jonathanvidal3073 Maybe that rooster was what the coyotes were after... 🤔😅😅😅
Even before watching your entertaining video, this press was on my list. Impressive! Now I’m thinking of getting the hydraulic/air jack too!😅
Thank you I am incredibly happy with this !!! Really fun to put together and use I know it sounds probably dumb but I've been wanting one of these for a very long time.... You're going to be happy with yours.... Thanks for the comment I really appreciate it.
Thank you, Robert. 👍👍👍

@@tomwagers6335 Yes Sir ! hey thank you for watching and commenting I really appreciate you !
Put a foot air valve on the jack, its even better.

I have the same press. Think i need to get this. Thanks for the video.

I can't believe it did that 6-in quarter plate, that's pretty wild for a home shop tool!
Hey brother!!! I'm glad you got a new toy, I mean tool for the shop!!! Lol every time you release the pressure it sounds like a dog howling at the moon!!! Lol hope ur doing great brother!!!
Man I had been thinking of making one but so much easier going to HF and just buying it!!
@@TheRaulr151 And for the price... you are going to love this thing !!
I might be wrong but I think it’s called a press brake, not a brake press
@@sblack48 Gee it's too bad you missed how much fun we had in the video...
@ ah ok u did call it a press brake later. Nice setup. Couldn’t make it for that price.
@ Harbor Freight definitely got it right on this one ! Thanks for the comments !
