Perfect little tool for the shop, since I generally need to make small pieces, and light duty brackets

Unless you have free gas, are a certified welder and don't expect to start bending anything when it arrives, opt for the fully welded kit. Press made easy work to help fab up 6 fire extinguisher dollies.

I considered trying to source the parts separately but it wouldve cost twice as much and Id have to do all the designing. I opted for the DIY kit after watching the how-to video. It was straightforward and the included color instructions were clear to follow as well. Ive already used it to make the bends on a push bumper with 10 gauge steel, no issues at all, nice clean bends.

Assembly instructions are good, assembly went very easy, if you have a welder and a press. Well built, works good, and they had very good shipping. 5310

Got the shipment fast. Welded it together in a couple of hours, taking my time. Great addition to my shop equipment.

A Great Addition!

I have been interested in fab work for some time now and part of that is the production of items with bends. In the past I used the "Heat and Beat" method of fabrication, or I welded two pieces into a bracket. Not anymore. I got the Press Brake and found the pieces well manufactured. Assemble was straight forward and easy to accomplish. With good clean welds (Mine are anything but.) the item turns out looking great. It works as good as it looks and with the addition of an air over hydraulic jack to my press I have one very good machine that will be a good addition to my fab tooling and will be useful for years too come. If your thinking about making the purchase, don't hesitate. Catch the press on sale, buy this for what is a great prices and you'll have a tool you wouldn't trade for anything.

Quickly found this brake kit when I started researching the Harbor Freight 20 ton press. I decided I had to have it. Couldn't be happier with the kit. Well thought out. Made for a good welding project and turned out great. Did have a little bow in the bottom dye after welding but that is easy to correct when you have a 20 ton press. I give it a 2 thumbs up. Oh, and the Swag off road sticker that you sent me with the kit is proudly displayed on the front of the press. Took all of the weinie Harbor Freight stickers off. Thanks again.

extremely happy with this product.

This is a very nice product, It went together seamlessly and was very easy to build using the included instructions. I have bent a few things around my garage and it works effortlessly. I would recommend it to anyone who even thinks that they will need to bend some stuff up.

Gift for Husband

My husband asked for this brake press as a Christmas gift to use in his shop. He has used it many times saying it works great and was easy to assemble. For the wives/girlfriends, this is a great buy as he will spend hours in the shop on his projects and that makes for a great marriage/relationship. We both give it 5 stars.

The press brake kit was exactly as advertised for the 20-ton shop press from Harbor Freight. It was easy to install and worked great.

Great product. Assembly was very easy. The largest material I have used it on is 1/4" x 6" plate and it bends it to 90 degrees without a problem.

The SWAG Press Brake Kit for the 20 Ton Presses is an excellent buy. The parts are nicely cut and the building instructions are very good. It took me about an hour of welding to assemble it. It easily bends 2" X 1/4" steel and wider on thinner stock. That's all I will ever need in my shop. Thanks for a great product.

20 Ton DIY Press Brake

Press brake

I was looking for a Press brake to go with my HF 20 ton press. I ran across Swag off road watched the short movie. I thought it looks easy but thought nothing is that easy to put together. I ordered the press brake followed the instruction put it together in less that 45min. I was surprised everything fit perfect and it works great. Thank You Swag

"Narrowed" 20 Ton Brake

My press is not the standard HF 20 ton press. Mine is 30-40 years old and is 1" narrower than the HF. Not to worry, after taking carefull measurements and reading the instructions several times, I took a 1" cut out of the width of the Brake, re-welded the bottom piece and then followed the directions. I don't know how I got along without this little gem for all these years. Take your time on the assembly and double check to make sure it's Square and Plumb. Great Tool!!!

Bought this on recommendation found on the internet easy to put it together for a DIY person works very well, well made solid product definitely recommend to anyone

I was going to mill a brake somewhat like this from solid steel, but after watching the gentleman on WeldingTipsandTricks.com make one, I decided to give it a try. As advised on WTandT, don't weld the spacer bar; it can hold itself nicely. Had a blast making it, instructions were excellent, and it works exactly as advertised. It needs firm support. Take Swag's advice and DO NOT use the painted pig iron that Harbor Freight passes for press plates. Buy Swag's press plates or dig up a chunk of steel plate from your local scrap metal yard. Nice job, guys.
