Metal Folders
Folders are very useful in the field when needing to make a clean brake line without a brake. We use them regularly when making tough bends where a brake just will not work. Here is a demonstration of one being used. They come in several sizes ranging from 12″ to 24″ and are available at Thompson-Mathis Metal MFG.

Here is a demonstration of one being used to provide a precision bend without bending the entire side on the metal.
