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.

Accessories

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.)

Use appropriate eye and hand protection when handling sheet aluminum or steel.

1-year mfr's. warranty against defects.

Designed, engineered and tested to Eastwood's specifications.

I BOUGHT THE EASTWOOD SHRINKER/STRETCHER FOR SOME HOT ROD & CHOPPER PANEL FABRICATION AND IT DID BETTER THAN I IMAGINED! WORKS PERFECT ON MILD STEEL AND ALMOST AS GOOD ON ALUMINUM, THE STRETCHER WILL TEAR 20 GA ALUMINUM IF YOUR NOT CAREFUL. WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMEND TO ANYONE!

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.

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!

Must have tools. (Posted on 1/11/10) Review by Big shot

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.

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.
