Etch bending tool

I enjoyed watching the video on ladder installs, a few great little tips in there.  However I'm not sure exactly what the brand of the bending tool/vice is that you were using to bend along the foldlines.  Could you provide a link to such item(s)? 

Many thanks!

Hi Koos,

i just watched that episode today and was also intrigued by that tool. Small Shop's website is:

Check out the video on the home page; they use a different technique.
