Works great in all manners of Metal Straightening and Bending. Have Straightened Frames of Lawn Mowers and Farm Equipment and have had NO PROBLEMS. Cheaper than CALLING someone to come out and do it for me. I am a Mechanical Engineer and my old one finally gave up and Quit. I couldn't locate a Rebuild kit for it so I Purchased this one and it seems to be as good as my 30 yr old one did new. Also, I purchased the old 1 for 300.00 dollars 30 yrs ago.
