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.
51437 Shrinker/Stretcher Jaw Set (The original-equipment jaws are of hardened steel to provide years of normal use, but if you work with stainless or a lot of carbon steel, the jaws will tend to wear out and replacement will be necessary.)
Designed, engineered and tested to Eastwood's specifications.

Great tool
Review by Cobraphx -
Price Value Quality I got the stretcher/shrinker combo for some metal work on my car project. Theses things are great, I suppose you could form lips and edges with a hammer and a buck, but for someone less skilled with a hammer (like myself) these are pretty amazing. If you stick to think metals (as stated in the description), you will be very happy with the results. I'd highly recommend this combo set.

Shrinker/Stretcher
Review by Randy -
Price Value Quality The Stretcher works fine, but the Skrinker doesn't work very good. We've tried the skrinker several times and it just doesn't perform.

Waiting.
Review by Pierre -
Price Value Quality I've basically "played" with these for now; As I'm a "shaded tree" mechanic and snow is up to my knees, I can't use them as I would like. But they seem to work just fine for when I do get to use them.

Must have tools.
Review by Big shot -
Price Value Quality This set has made sheet metal repairs so much easier. I restore classic cars and as you all know they can be rotted out in certain areas. I purchased this set to shape sheet metal around the back window and the windsheild openings, I was pleasently suprised how will these tools worked. I would reccomend these tool to anyone needing to form sheet metal.

FANTASTIC!!! Wouldn't work without one!
Review by rockher_man -
Price Value Quality This Combo Kit is one of the BEST tool-sets I own...and I own a LOT of tools.
As an avid Street Rodder and overall Hot Rodder & Blue Oval MadMan this toolset is going to save countless hours on my current project...a 1956 Ford F100 pickup truck.
I purchased my Effie with the entire original sheet metal AND hard trim "mostly intact" and I am going to do my best to save everything I can for this build!
The Eastwood Shrinker/Stretcher Combo Set
I purchased, # 51088, is VERY versatile and portable so it travels well and works on everything I need from fenders to small trim pieces as well as patch panels...the possibilities are just endless!
I can move the bodies from my workbench to my shop-vice or to my welding table on wheels, where ever I need it.
Thanks again Eastwood for an awesome product!

Great value, great tool
Review by Rick -
Price Value Quality I do not have a lot of body work experience, but after 10 min of practice I was able to make replacement patch panels for the lower rear sections of the front fenders on my 50 Ford panel. The pieces where as good as any you could buy.
