I’ve never had new equipment till now and absolutely love it. Everything we have is Tennsmith. All of it makes my job 10 times easier and quicker. […] I have the dream set up.

I’ve been in the industry for about 20 years. Worked for a commercial roofing company till August of last year. With the help of my investors, I started up Bradlie Metal Fab. I build a little bit of everything — flashings, chase covers, shrouds, and custom work. We service all the major hearth and home companies and contractors in our area. Looking to go bigger in the near future.

I’ve never had new equipment till now and absolutely love it. Everything we have is Tennsmith. All of it makes my job 10 times easier and quicker. The last thing we got was the shear because of the wait time and not wanting to have to move it into our permanent location till it was ready. Looking to add an automatic brake, hopefully in the near future as well.

The shear I love because I can do long cuts and short cuts with ease. The front dump is nice as well and saves space. The automatic roller saves me from having to strain to roll tight pieces, and large ones are a dream. We have the 10’ hand brake and 5’ box brake which are smooth and make clean, crisp bends. I have the dream set up.

I added some pics of some of the stuff we’ve done with all this wonderful equipment. Really appreciate you guys and everything you build to make my life, job easier. 😊
