⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Precision Die Workshop
"This manual bending machine has been a game-changer for our small fabrication shop. I purchased the Advanced Model in February 2025, and after 5 months of daily use, it continues to deliver consistent, high-precision bends. The ±0.15mm accuracy is impressive, and the modular inserts make switching between jobs seamless. No electricity needed, which keeps our setup simple and portable."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Rodriguez - DIY Metalworker
"As someone who builds custom metal art from my garage, I needed a reliable, compact tool that wouldn’t take up much space. The Base Model fits perfectly. I bought it in November 2024, and after 8 months of intermittent use, it’s held up flawlessly. The adjustable clamps and manual control give me full precision, and the carbon steel frame feels incredibly sturdy. Definitely worth the investment for hobbyists and small-scale makers."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Lee - Industrial Tooling Facility
"We integrated the Pro Model into our die-making line in April 2025, and it’s now a core part of our prototyping process. The 2,025N bending force handles thicker carbon steel bars without deformation, and the ±0.1mm tolerance is critical for our aerospace components. Setup was straightforward, and the CE certification gave our safety team peace of mind. Only downside is the weight (35kg), but that’s expected for this class of machine."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anita Patel - Custom Machinery Workshop
"After researching several options, I chose this machine for its customization potential and CE compliance. Purchased in January 2025, and we’ve used it non-stop for six months shaping custom dies and replacement parts. The interchangeable inserts (bought separately) have been a huge plus—no need to buy multiple machines for different profiles. The manual operation gives our technicians better tactile feedback than hydraulic units, especially for intricate bends. Support team also responded quickly when I had a question about lubrication."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Kim - On-Site Repair Contractor
"I use this in mobile repair scenarios where power isn’t available. Bought the Base Model in September 2024 for its portability and durability. After 7 months of field use—rain, dust, you name it—it still performs reliably. The compact size fits in my van, and the manual design means no downtime from electrical issues. It’s not for heavy industrial batches, but for on-the-fly repairs and light fabrication, it’s ideal. Slight learning curve at first, but intuitive once you get the hang of it."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
