Cheap photoetch folding tool??
Hi, I saw a cheap photo-etch folding tool somewhere but can't seem to find it again. Does anyone know where I can get one cheap. I would like the hold-n-fold or the etchmate, but I am sure I saw a cheap one under a different name.

I use a smooth jawed pair of pliers that are ground flat on the end. For larger pieces, I had a machine shop make me a pair of flat plates with a 45 degree bevel on the edge. I trap the P/E between them and fold by pressing it against a table top.
