Combination Shear, Finger Brake, Slip Roll Harbor Freight 3 in 1 Machine Your garage needs this tool 

I have had this same machine for about 6 years, and I have 2 things to suggest. 1st, there is a single bolt holding on the hub that the handle sits in. It's an Allen screw, and it comes loose WAY too often. Loctite that bad boy and you WILL thank yourself. Second, my hold downs are not up to the task, so I always keep a piece of 2x4 and a C clamp handy and lock down the left hand side of the work when making long cuts. Not a huge deal, and it gives me much cleaner and straighter cuts. All in all, I would purchase this machine again, especially now that I have figured out it's limitations. Definitely worth the money.

Thank you for making a video to show that product, and thank you especially, for not boring your followers by talking for periods of 1 hour or sometimes more than that, as almost all influencers do.

i had a hard time concentrating with that beautiful car in the backgound

3 years later, your videos are still kicking ass. Keep it up!

I just got one of these for $450 and it's exactly what I needed small projects and making small auto parts.

Thank you for taking time to show how it works.

Thanks for the video, all my questions answered.

You did a really good job explaining everything thanks

Great demo on this man. Really nice job explaining everything and good tips too. Thanks for sharing. I build guitar amplifiers in unique things like empty antique radio shells, old TVs, ammo cans, etc and sometimes need to fabricate my own aluminum chassis for custom builds. I’ve got some tools to get by but this all in one would be very helpful.

Great video , clean and simple thank you

Thank you for this video! Very helpful and I'll be checking out your stand video as well!

Great demo brother!

Hmmm. Got one of these about 16 years ago for one stainless steel sculpture project, never really used it much again. (The shear DOES NOT like 22 ga stainless sheet!) It sat on the end of a 4x8 plywood workbench for a few years until I moved, now been sitting unused in the floor of my new workshop for about 13 years because I don't have a stand. Need one that can be rolled out of the way when not in use. The shipping weight is listed as 321lbs... I would be extremely concerned about having that much weight on such a narrow base without it being bolted to the floor. Looks waaaaay top heavy! Going to watch your other vid on how you did the base. I noticed when you used the brake part that the whole thing rocked a little bit right at 8:01. Don't knock that thing over onto that great car! Or anyone's tender lil toes! Incidentally I have had one of the little horizontal/vertical metal cutting band saws like they sell at Harbor Freight for over 25 years, and it is the best money I ever spent. I got mine at ENCO, but it is exactly the same model. The plastic wheels mounted in the thin sheet metal legs are pure crap; I mounted mine on a rolling plywood base with locking wheels that I built for it, but the option to use it like vertical band saw with the table on is glorious!!!!

Thankyou for the info and demonstration

One handle fits all!

Awesome video!!! Thank you for sharing :-D This has been on our shopping list for awhile, but your video sold us and now we are subscribers too :-)

Amazing cutter

Thanks for this man. This is just what I was looking for :)

Thank you straight to the point

Great review. I now want one..

You did a great job of explaining the operation of this tool!

Great video, thank you for the walk through:)

Great video, and thank you. I am looking at purchasing that unit. I, myself, though would not have anything in the way of the handle swing. That would drive me NUTS. I understand you are trying to make a nice tight package with the shrinker and stretcher, but being in the way is a no go for me. Cheers

Great demo! I've had this model for awhile. The only problem I found is that the blade clearance had to adjusted often and also the handles are flimsy and broke over time. I still think it's worth the money though.

Thanks, great video!

That was helpful, thanks!

Thatd be perfect for making floor pans

I just scored a used one for 150 bucks !! I was in great shape just missing the keeper bar. Easy to find or make one. Great review bud. I make do a review on mine and finding good deals on line.

Thank you

Thanks for sharing , been thinking about purchasing this, really helped

Would have liked to see how you do the corner bend for a box

had been wanting one of those for years.. finally ordered one today, made a last minute decision to order a 40", went out to the garage and realised that the thing will be fckn huge. we will see

Great video! If you take the dies and blades off, are you able to do a continuous roll with the slip roll? Or are you still limited to one rotation of the handle?

Thank you for this extremely well done video. Do you think even brand new that this would have a chance with 18 gauge cold rolled steel? I only need the brake and the shear. Thank you.

Thanks for the great intro, just wondered the bend was not 90 degree, can that be adjusted ?

Thanks for the video! Do you know what the max depth of a box can be made with finger brake ? Thanks

anyone with this have a problem with the break top die being like an eighth out of place?

Thanks for sharing, would have liked to see how round stock is handled on the end of the rollers.

I guess 90 degrees is all you get on the break?

Hi, can you make a pipe/tube with this? Some say that there is always a flat spot...

How well would this work on stainless ? say 18 or 19 gauge ( 1mm )

Would it help to spay some cutting oil on the shear blade .

I was given a 3 and 1 missing a lot of stuff. for one the arms that lower and raise the cutter are missing. I was debating if I want to make them and get this working or not BUT can you tell me if when you shear metal does one side of the shear come down before the other. I need to know if I would make both arms the same length. Appreciate the information. I have a brake but I am also missing the one roller with the gear drive. Thanks for info.

Great Video👍 Puddin's Fab Shop had a lesser model that he beefed up to be a better & stronger machine.

Has anyone tried a full 30" 20ga cut?

is the shear adjustable for different height to cut wire or just one height?

Would have been good to see you show the roller the whole way. Why did the handle not turn all the way around?

What stand are you using

What are all the extra pieces besides the handle in the bag for?

Can it be used to flatten sheet metal copper?

does hf accept the 20% off coupon on this?

Can't find that product anywhere. Strange.

I like to see a full width bend 90 degs in Aluminium so I can watch it fail.

O

For the limited capacity of this unit and the amount of space it takes up it just ain't worth it !!
