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.

It took a little time to get the hang of using them but once you understand how they work you can make alot of different replacement sheetmetal parts that saves you time and money.Price Value Quality -

Review by Gus -
I have a little experience constructing replacement sheetmetal panels and after a little practise found the tools perform better than I hoped. It has opened the way to making all kinds of replacement parts from wheel well lips to trunk lip filler pieces . The foot operated stand would be alot handier than the vise I now use.Price Value Quality -
Fine for the $$

Review by Penn Island Rides -
The standard for short throat shrinkers and stretchers.Price Value Quality
A little filing and sanding on the jaws helps them work even smoother.
Although mounting an L shaped bracket in the bottom and then securing them in a bench vice works OK.
A floor mounted stand with foot pedal allows you to use both hands to move and steady the work piece. -

The shrinker/stretcher combo is a decent tool for the price. I've used it to make some window channels as well as some other patch pieces for my project car and it has worked as advertised. Worth the money.Quality Price Value -
