⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Wilkins - HVAC Contractor
"This Pittsburgh lock former has transformed our ductwork production. We’ve been using the Pro Model since May 2024, and in 7 months, it’s already paid for itself through faster turnaround times. The 15.6 ducts per minute speed is no exaggeration—perfect for tight commercial deadlines. The modular surface lets us switch between galvanized steel and aluminum without downtime. Wheels make it easy to move around job sites, which is a huge win for on-site fabrication."Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lena Petrova - Duct Manufacturing Supervisor
"We replaced two older, single-purpose seamers with the Rbqlty Advanced Model last September 2024, and the difference is night and day. The 2.3mm material thickness capacity handles nearly all our orders, and the energy efficiency (1.35 kW/h) is cutting our power costs noticeably. The CE and EPR Germany certifications gave us the green light for export jobs we couldn’t take before. After 6 months of 10-hour shifts, it still runs like new—zero breakdowns."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ David Tran - DIY Metalworker
"As a hobbyist building custom ventilation for my garage and small projects, I wasn’t sure a machine this capable would suit my space. But the compact Base Model fits perfectly. I bought it in February 2025, and after 3 months of weekend use, I’m impressed with the clean Pittsburgh seams it produces. Setup was straightforward, and the modular top lets me adjust for different duct widths. Only reason it’s not 5 stars: the instruction manual could use more visuals for first-time users."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carlos Mendez - Field Service Technician
"We use this machine across multiple construction sites, and its mobility and rugged build are game-changers. Purchased the Pro Model in January 2025, and in just 5 months, it’s been relocated over 20 times—no issues with the casters or frame. The front-panel ventilation keeps it cool even during summer runs. We’re fabricating ducts on-site now instead of hauling pre-made sections, which saves time and storage space. Also appreciate the RoHS compliance—our clients in Germany require it."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Olivia Grant - Facility Operations Manager
"Our maintenance team needed a reliable, portable solution for repairing duct systems across three industrial buildings. The Rbqlty Base Model, purchased in November 2024, has been in constant rotation for 8 months. It’s lightweight enough to move solo, yet durable enough to handle daily use. The plastic-coated surface wipes clean in seconds, and we’ve had no corrosion issues despite exposure to moisture and dust. For a machine at this price point, the CE certification and modular design are huge value adds."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
