Product Description

The Tapco Brake Buddy II with Case (Model 11676) is a professional-grade trim forming accessory engineered for siding contractors, exterior remodelers, roofing professionals, and sheet metal fabricators using Tapco portable brakes. Designed to quickly produce decorative ribs and brick mold profiles in trim coil materials, the Brake Buddy II allows contractors to create custom architectural trim details directly onsite.

The Brake Buddy II mounts directly onto compatible Tapco portable brakes and uses adjustable roller systems to form decorative stiffening ribs and trim contours into aluminum and coated trim stock. The integrated measurement guide and quick-twist adjustment handle allow fast repositioning of rollers for repeatable decorative profiles and multiple rib layouts.

The tool supports .019 aluminum, PVC-coated aluminum, and vinyl-coated trim coil materials commonly used in residential siding, fascia, soffit, porch wrap, and window trim installations. Contractors frequently use the Brake Buddy II to add rigidity, appearance enhancements, and custom detailing to exterior trim projects while maintaining consistent alignment across multiple fabricated pieces.

Included rib rollers and graduated brick mold rollers provide flexibility for producing different trim styles, while the molded plastic carrying case protects the tool during transportation and jobsite storage. The lightweight portable design makes the Brake Buddy II practical for both workshop fabrication and field installation work.
