I don't know if this is what you are talking about but I think Van Mark products used to make the brake buddy. Now they make the Trim-A-Slitter
Tapco International makes a similar device called the Port-O-Slitter which cuts, ribs, and perforates.
Never used one though-pretty expensive.
*Jay,I think Tapco does make the Brake Buddy and it works pretty well.I don't own one but did use one to make some bends.It was a bit pricey at over $200 but if you plan to use it all the time why not.It made a nice bend to do brick mould as well.vince
