Here's my Grizzly 3 in 1. It shears, bends and rolls up to 30". I bought it in 1995 and have used it a lot more than I ever thought I would. It's not real good at doing bends of other than 90 degrees so I bought a real 24" box and pan brake about 2 years ago when it was on sale. The 3 in 1 is however very good at shearing metal. I regularly exceed its rating without any complaints.
The box and pan brake is better at making various bends such as those needed for small sheet metal boxes.
You can't see it but the small brake is mounted on the backside of the 30" 3 in 1's cart. The feed path of the 24" brake passes under the 3 in 1 and the 3 in 1's feed path passes over the top of the 24" brake. The whole cart can be rolled around to where I need it.
