Recently ordered this 8” 3 in 1 machine for model building and home machine shop use. Having purchased 4 other KAKA tools in the past, I took for granted that this machine would be equal to the quality that I’d come to expect from KAKA tools, and I wasn’t disappointed! I had the first “WOW!” moment with the 3 in 1 when I cut the tape and opened the box, and found the machine packed in 4 or 5 layers of custom fitted dark gray foam, the type you typically find in gun and precision machine cases! You could throw this box off the roof onto concrete and not harm the machine at all! High points for that alone! The bare steel parts were coated in shipping grease, a point that irritates some, but I’m glad to see it there to keep the tool rust free on its long journey! I disassembled it to clean it up, and adjusted everything as I put it back together. All functions worked wonderfully, and I couldn’t be more pleased! The size of this machine hides the true versatility and strength, and it’s a perfect fit for people with limited space, packing 3 machines into 1! The limited capacity of an 8” machine will be a deal breaker to some, but it’s exactly what I, and others, need! Thanks KAKA for producing many of your products in different sizes, and for making such high quality offerings!

Great machine.however i teach a small class it would be nice to have half the class watching a how to video and the other half with me hands on then switch and have the previous half watch the video. Then have a small safety quiz for all after watching the how to video.

3in1 came in nicely packaged and Un-damaged. The whole unit is covered in rust prevention paste, because of it u will have to disassemble the whole thing to wipe it all off otherwise it doesn’t turn smooth. Have few small rust spots right on the roller bearings and inside the walls even though it was packed with the rust prevention paste. The edges of the parts r Very sharp had to go over them with the file to round off the edges otherwise u might cut urself while cleaning if not careful. After that small procedure I oiled it sanded the rusted spots with a sand paper filed down the edges and put it all back together. From opening to wiped clean, removing the rust, oiled and put back together took about an hour maybe a little less. Cuts 20 gage with ease, roles and bend just nicely. I am happy with the unit and for the price I didn’t find nothing cheaper. I would definitely recommend to have one in ur garage. B

First, I'd like to say that the tool came in the mail packaged well and arrived in great condition. Shipping arrived on time, and am happy with the products functionality.

Though, one thing this tool lacks is a hex key set. Because, this tool must be adjusted for nearly every job, it would be wise to either include Hex Keys -- Or include handles on for instance the break press bar to adjust the bend without a hex key.

Good product, but the quality could be better. I am satisfied overall.
