    Stretcher? That was good for the shrinker as I now understand it.

    I bought my body tools from Eastwood when I first got in the trade and 14 years later I'm still using them. I just acquired the shrinker/ stretcher and it is a neat tool to use, haven't played with one since Wyotech.

    I have this pair of tools and really like them. They been worked hard and are holding up well. I made a stand to mount them on with a foot pedal to operate them. Allows me to use two hands on the job and plenty of good power in the leg. Mine is a simple mechanical lever and pedal system, inspired by my friend who has his operated by a pneumatic ram and foot pedal.

      Eastwood Company we need some form of shop wall sigh or plaque to show customers they are in the capable hands of an Eastwood guy? I have one I made myself by painting your logo onto a sheet of Perspex on a shallow wood frame and light it up with LED lighting strips. Looks cool and slightly retro, perfect shop look.

      Would you mind showing a picture of your mount with food pedal? I have the strength on my legs, but is hard to do by hand. Thank you.

    Would this be a good method to fabricating a new patch panel around a rusty gas cap area?

    how does the shrinking work? squeeze the metal together? does the english wheel shrink the metal or squish it out and spread it?

    Keen to check out your tips but frankly, your tattoos are a real put off from an otherwise good instructional video.

    Hand is always in the way, seems like he just wants to show off his tattoos.

      I don't get it, people put "art" on their bodies that they would never hang on a wall because it is too ugly. I don't get it. More often than not I find they look terrible!
