Re: Siding Job, Windows
LOL tell my carpenter that. He hates using the break. He once used two whole coils to cap 10 windows. We all got a kick out of it except my boss and him because he was called scrapper for a few days. He said "Metal is too soft, I need something hard like wood."

Re: Siding Job, Windows
LOL yeah he's an excellent carpenter but terrible with the break. Just for kicks I sent him a work order to cap 45 windows. It was all bogus and made up, but I like giving everyone a hard time

Re: Siding Job, Windows
Just bought a Tapco Pro 14 with my partner after wearing out the Windy we had. I wanted the Pro 19 but he opted to be cheap for $100. Anyone else have the Pro 14?

Re: Siding Job, Windows
I reccomend buying a 19 inch brake just for the ability to easily use 24 inch coils . Otherwise there is little benifit to owning a deeper brake.

Re: Siding Job, Windows
I used to have a tapco pro II, it got caught in a fire and I bought a Van Mark Mark 1. I have been using 14" brakes for 10 years, and as of yet, I have not found a bend I was unable to bend. As far as being able to cut metal the 19" would be quicker, since u could push it a lot further in. Many times I only need an inch or 2 more than I have available, so I end up moving to a cutoff point further back. That is when I ask myself why I bought a 14" brake, lol.
