To Dirk Pitt 77,

The bending tool that I just purchased is the identical item that you now own.  With the assistance of Mrs. Toshi, I purchased via eBay "The Bug" from (The Small Shop).  This product is absolutely solid, if this tool is cared for properly, I think my grandchildren will be able to utilized "The Bug" as well.

To Greg & Big Jim,

Forgive me for my wrong information, I suffered a brain injury and on occasions I'm really having some difficulties getting information out.  Here is what the tool is called.

PGMS Photofold

Thanks so much for the clarification. My curiosity is satisfied and now I can get on with my life. Smile

Sorry you had trouble assembling your PhotoFold. Interesting concept (mini bending brake).

My 2 cents, when I was shopping for a PE workstation, I wanted one from The Small Shop, but everyone was sold out of the one I wanted, so I opted for another mfg which is made out of a soft plastic and I've never been thrilled with it. I think you made a good choice. The machined and hard anodized aluminum construction of the Small Shop line makes good sense to me.

Have fun and thanks again for your clarification, Toshi.

No problem at all, it's my pleasure.  As for the "The Bug" Photo Etch bending tool, I'm in love with it as it's heft makes bending PE precise.  I'm glad that you were able to finally see the Photo Fold in action on You Tube.  Thank you for the read and reply

I use the bug as well from small shop.  It is my second bending tool.  I had a larger one and I found the small shop one the best.  Never had a problem with it.
