Anyone have a Sheet Metal Brake I can borrow or rent from you for 2ish days?

I need to bend a bunch of sheetmetal up for some HVAC ductwork in my house I need to custom make.

Long story short… the wall where my 2nd floor return is has some f’d up areas where no “stock” shapes will work; so I’ve got about 5’ of wall area that I need to custom fab.

The joys of owning a 70 year old house that was converted to forced-air incorrectly… and now trying to fix it.

Home depot sells one right near the metal flashing.

I think it was $16.99, harbor freight is probably the same tool for cheaper.

I’m in the process of putting aluminum flashing around my new windows…
