Anyone ever used/own a DiAcro finger brake?
« on: November 22, 2009, 09:12:37 AM »
Just picked up a model 24 without stand , 24 inch capacity.

 Sure is well made, , supposed to be very nice brake to use.
Just want to know pros/cons of this brake as I will probably resell it..

 But I am thinking, I may be fiurther ahead keeping it and selling my 4ftbox & pan..

Funny thing about regret is...... its better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done.

 I dont have a pic handy, they have pics on their website, but no prices!

 It is a box & pan type,  with a leaf in the front, but with a very heavy cast iron base.. weighs like 250 lbs.

for a second I thought y'all were discussing Fiat brakes, they stop about like
dragging your finger.

I've used one many times and they are probably the best finger brake made.  If you decide to sell it let me know.  I'm looking for one. :)

I got sold last spring. It went to a highschool, think that it is a second one for them.  Good home for it.They really are nicely made, I would trust anything made by them.
