It's a great way to get started into basic metal fab work but if/when you get to the point of doing a lot of metal work or really precision stuff you will end up getting higher end tools.
I have to adjust the blades on the shear to keep everything tight but it is great to have on hand! I use it for so many things that I used to cut out by hand. Little brackets, little tabs...very very handy!

Agree this is good for a garage guy like me , not doing production stuff. Finally got around to trying it out. Tryed to roll a 24" 20 gauge piece it was tough and took a huge amount if passes. The curve was not consistent in the center due to what I guess flex on the rolls. Edges curved ok but center was off.
Yes it does have a cover for slip and its missing a handle. For small pieces it works great.
