Customer Reviews

Pro Cut-Off
I purchased both the Sidewinder, and the Pro Cut-Off at the same time, I'm glad I did, it sure speeds the operation up. I have found nothing wrong with this tool, I highley recommend it.

Pro Cut off a wise investment
I used the Pro Cut-Off for the first time and was amazed at how easy and distortion free it cut the material on the brake. It absolutely eliminates ANY need for knifing the material on the brake. I have seen a number of brakes with knife damage on the hinges. Since my Pro III brake was new and I did not want to "dork it up". Seen too many of these brakes damaged in this fashion. Seems odd that one would spend $1200+ dollars on a brake only to drop a utility knife into the hinge of the brake time and time again.

I purchased the cut off tool. If for nothing else the Cut-Off tool is much faster and cleaner than the knife method. I would definetly recommend the use of the tool for anyone who has a brake. My only concern has to do with Tapco showing hanging the Cut-Off tool on the storage/coupler nut on the end of the brake. I was a bit suspiscious of using this method ans instead use a small table next to the brake to hold the tool and other misc items, e.g. pencils, sample profiles, paper pad with measurements, gaging blocks. etc. This tool gets my shiny side up recommendation.

Tapco 10379 Pro Cut-off with case
If you are buying or have a Tapco siding break, this option is well worth the money. It saves time and gives you clean straight edges on your trim pieces. After cutting aluminum trim coil by hand for years, I wish I had the Pro Cut-Off a long time ago. The case provides a compact secure storage case to protect your investment. Shop around, prices vary considerably (Amazon was the lowest price I found). I am very satisfied with this well made tool.
