Sheet metal bender recommendations

I can get a good deal on a tennsmith 22 gauge box/pan brake. Is this heavy duty enough for general auto fabrication? Thanks

Typically you can cheat up one gauge so that gets you to 20 gauge. I very rarely use 20 gauge for anything. I would personally pass on it, it is an HVAC tool.

Good to know. Thanks

Just because it's an "hvac" tool does not mean you can't use it for automotive use... If you can get a great deal on it it's better than a harbor freight or other Chinese knock off.... We have nothing but roper Whitney pexto stuff which is some of the best....

Pass. Hold out for something rated to at least 16ga
