Customer Reviews for Van Mark Trim-A-Brake II

When the brake arrived the first time one of the arms was broken. So I had to reorder it. I bought this brake because it was portable and the lightest of all the 8 foot brakes at 76 pounds. I is good for any DIYer looking for a basic no nonsense brake. I wish you could put accessories such as the trim cutter.

This product is good enough for me, I am okay with it.

Does not meet my expectations. Really not impressed with it.

The home depot send it back befor i could pick it up.

Light and easy to use. Seems fairly well constructed. I have only been using this model for two months however, so time may change my view on durability. The only minor setback with this item, was that in my case it did not come with setup instructions (perhaps a random error before shipping) and there are very few online resources to assist. With this being said, setup proved to be fairly easy despite this.

Is ok

This was supposed to be an entry level brake, having said that, there are absolutely no instructions on assembly or use of the product, any guidelines for simple or complex forms. The package(s) were opened prior to my pick up so they may have been misplaced or discarded.

I love my brake machine and I recommend that every home owner should purchase one of these, after I finish my trimming my home, I'm gonna see if I can make extra money getting side work in the neighborhood.

When I receive the break it was a nice package and looked great. Operating functions all seem to work well until I got on the job and needed to bend a piece of metal. It's not clamp on the far end tightly enough which caused my metal to be bent at two different sizes Very unhappy with the clamping

Works well with clean bends

A good entry level unit. Easy to assemble and use. Any beginner an get up and running in minutes.

Owned one for 20 years. It was half the price back then. Made a lot of bends over the years paids for it self many times over

Love this Trim a Brake II. The price point is great for this unit. Although it is a starter unit it is STURDY AND WELL BUILT!! Assembly was simple and for me no additional setup or adjustments were needed. I want to emphasize that this brake is built to last. It may not hemm but I'm telling you for the money I'm very, very impressed. Much more than I expected. Can't wait until the weather clears and I can really put this baby to work! Cons. Can't think of a thing.

Delivered to my Home Depot in the time quoted. EZ store pick up. Works good right out of the box.
