Hand brake technology has not changed for 60 years, but what has changed is the price at which you can buy a ruggedly built top quality hand brake. 

Engage Machinery’s heavy duty hand brakes are designed and built for long life.   Engage hand brakes offer many different machinery options for the sheet metal professional. You can select many different lengths or gauges rather than having to fit your needs to the reduced number of options available from other suppliers.  Engage machines are built with solid plates, adjustable truss rods and hardened clamping beam and folding beam tooling.  Equipped with sealed bearings for long life, these machines are designed for easy adjustment for differing material thickness and accurate bending radii.

Engage’s heavy-duty universal hand brake is an economical tool for a wide range of sheet metal bending and forming operations. The Model HBS 9612 can handle 12-gauge and lighter materials, straight bending in hot and cold rolled plate, stainless steel, aluminum and heavy plastic.
