SWAG 20 TON Finger Brake Heavy Duty DIY Builder Kit

I’ve had this for a couple years now; along with the solid break and flat top attachment.

The stuff I have from SWAG is fantastic. I’ve used it in everything from 22ga to 3/8” steel and it hasn’t skipped a beat.

I just wish I had more space so I could order/build the 50” for a trailer project I have in mind.

The guys at SWAG are phenomenal; I asked about ‘rounded’ dies; and while they do not offer any I was texted pictures of what other customers have come up with.

The quality and customer service makes sure I’ll keep ordering from SWAG as long as I’ve got the ability to do so.

Just got it and setup was easy. Bent first piece of metal with ease. Definitely better with the air/hydraulic bottle jack

Unit is heavy duty. Was fairly easy to assemble, and parts fit as they should. I TIG welded my bender together so took a little preprep with a flap disc just to clean off some mill scale. This is a great addition for my shop . I usually don't have the need to bend heavy plate. This was a cost effective way to accomplish my goals without buying a very expensive machine that won't get used very much . The only thing I wish was a little better was the bottom die. I mainly do 1/8" plate, maybe some 3/16 and 1/4 now and then. I wish there was a better way to tighten up the radius other than stacking more pieces of angle. It's really not that big of a deal though. The only alteration I did was the top collar. I didn't like the oversized shaft collar. I turned a piece of DOM in the lathe that was more appropriately fitting and a little taller with two set screws. All in all, The Bender was put to use almost immediately and worked well.

The Swag Off- Road finger brake kit was an awesome addition for the shop, easy to build with well constructed parts in the kit.
There was some minor surface rust when it arrived, a quick pass with a scotch bright disk and all is good.
My press is a little bit deeper than the HF press, I just needed to modify the side tabs to accommodate 6” channel uprights, sets up easily and produces great results.
I would recommend this product to those willing to put a little effort to build great shop tool.

Everything came intact and on time looks like good quality equipment the only thing that I had an issue with was there was rust on some of the steel when I received it other than that great product.
