Q: does this work for aluminum coil like to use this for small stuff

Contractor replying. This tool will bend aluminum no problem. Note the advertising stating it is designed to bend typical thickness steel as used in home ducting, which is what I use it for most often. I have also used it to bend 24 guage copper, which is much thicker/stiffer yet. (Note you cannot compare steel, copper, and aluminum gauges....the formula is based upon weight).Coil stock aluminum is like paper in comparison to what this tool is capable of. Note the "throat" depth is 1" max. Also know this is not designed for real crisp bends as a contractors brake can perform, because the tool does not clamp. Rather, there is a fixed gap in the tool, and especially with aluminum coil stock, the point of bend is a radius. It will we straight, just not real crisp. Hope this helps.

Q: What maximum gauge of aluminum will this bend?

I am not sure, but if it is soft alum, what ever will fit in the bender. I only bought it for bending furnace pipe and that is steel it works good. (I would try it on a piece of alum. but it is at another home I own 1000 miles from here)

Q: Is it one solid piece or is it 2 sperate pieces fused together????

I looked at it and it appears to be made of 2 layers, so I'd say it is 2 pieces fused together.

Q: What guage of sheet metal will this work on?

I did use on 24 gauge copper and that was beginning to push limits of clean bend IMO. It easily bends standard 26-30 guage galvanized sheet metal used for ductwork...and what I primarily use it for....quick bends in the field...not to be confused with crisp bends of a shop brake tool.
