I am in need of a box & pan brake. I used to have access to a shop with a 12' brake, but not anymore.

I have done some searching online, and I am suspicious of the quality of some of these units. Also, I am not sure how big of a unit is enough. I know I don't need anything near as big as the 12' unit I was using, since I'm not planning on making any grain chutes or HVAC ducts, but I think the 24" units may be too small.

I want to use it to make oil pans, fuel tanks, etc.

Anyone have any thoughts on reasonably priced decent quality units, or what size is "big enough"?
