KAKA INDUSTRIAL HN-1104 Heavy-Duty Sheet Metal Notcher, Manual Corner Notcher 4x4 inch Blade,11-Ga Mild Steel

Apologize in advance for my long comments but felt it was important to help you know what to expect prior to operating it. It was delivered in a timely manner without any damage. I avoided tailgate fee by picking it up at the FX Freight terminal (also my street was also under reconstruction-thus preventing home delivery). The box and pallet (slightly over 200 lbs.) it came in was rather small but tall (somewhat top-heavy). FX was able to use a small forklift and believe it or not was skilled enough to place it into the back of my 2002 suburban with rear trunk lid opening without damaging it or my car. I did not strap it down (in retrospect should have) but drove very slowly the 20 mi back to my residence. Used a Northern Tool 30”x72” loading ramp to walk the pallet down (little scary) to ground level. Next challenge, getting it up on my Amazon PowerTEC $73.71 tool stand (500lb rating). I used my NT Scissor lift table to get it the same height (aka my power zone at 240lbs @ 71 yrs.) and was able to move it to the table. I had also built a platform base with 4 HD locking swivel wheels for the table to sit on. It literally glides around my shop effortlessly and locks into position securely. I have confidence it will work much better than their competition unit though.

I was hesitant to purchase this unit as I found some way cheaper. I have a production shop and need to know my equipment will not break down. So far I am very happy with both the function and the way this unit is built.
