About Eastwood Shrinker/Stretcher Combo Set-Two BodiesTwo Jaws
Shrinker/Stretcher Metal-Shaping Combo reproduces wheel wells, dog legs, trunk corners...almost any metal fabrication requiring a combination curve and angle. Use the shrinker to contract metal for inside curves; use the stretcher to expand metal for outside curves.
The hand-operated shrinker/stretcher press multiplies your pressure by a factor of 45, creating leverage to work on up to 18-gauge mild steel, 20-gauge stainless, and 16-gauge aluminum. Clamps in your vice or mounts on your bench or pedestal stand.
2 jaws (shrinker/stretcher), 2 housings, 2 handles, and instructions. Comes assembled and pre-drilled for bench mounting.

I got this last Friday but just got a chance to work with it today. Once you get the hang of it it works real smooth. Works nice for repairing rusted wheel openings.Price Value Quality -

I've only used these a couple times so far, and they work fine. Get on Youtube and view Lazze metal shaping for a great tip on how to set up the jaws on the shrinker.Value Quality Price
One problem, Eastwood should also at least include the mounting bolts for each unit... I wish Eastwood would bring the price to realistic levels for the deep-throat shrinker!! -

Review by ROBERT -
i tried the shrinker/stretcher at a friends house about 5 months ago, i seen it online a million times and in video's, but after i tried it i never thought it would be so easy to use, i picked mine up about a week ago, and i've already mastered it, only took about 20 minutes to be a pro at it, i would love to get a proper stand for it, maybe some type of quick disconnect for it so i could easily and quickly change between shrinker and stretcher but i'll have to wait till the perfect one is available!Price Value Quality -

I've used these a couple of times now and am happy with them - the bodies are heavy cast iron and everything else is heavier duty than I expected. Shrinks and stretches metal faster than I thought it would.Price Value Quality -

I purchased this combo to work on aircraft aluminum. Just used the shrinker to make some end caps for a fuel tank. Tool preformed well and really quite powerful, had to stretch where I over did the shrinking:-).Price Value Quality -
