This is a beast for a small brake. You will not be disappointed. Clean bends. This is a great tool if you work on trucks and/or a handyman (which I am both). Great to make small brackets, shelves, and diamond plate trim. 24" is more then enough width unless you are doing commercial mfg or similar. Best price point. If you are still thinking about it, then you are not serious about buying a portable pan brake. GET IT!!!
