We have the same bender in our shop, but ours is from Harbor Freight. I am sure its the same machine just different color and stickers. We noticed the same issue that the unit doesn't really do well with anything over 18 gauge and only small lengths at that. It will shear some 20 gauge stainless, but its not happy and every time I had to do it I was afraid the machine would explode.
I am jealous of the shrinker/strecher combo, that's been on my wish list for a couple of years. Right now I am working on making my own blasting cabinet so I can finally get some parts cleaned up. I have it roughly drawn in CAD, now I just have to see if I can make it work.
