I've only done a few cars, but so far the Amazon one has worked fine.
I have used both and I can tell you that your premonition about the jack screw is correct. the Amazon hardware including the jack screw is much cheaper metal and it gets unusable over time. especially if it's used a lot. I bought an Eastwood to his in last time and notic we don't definitely adjusts and works better. However of you only need to use it once or twice the Amazon will do just fine. To be fair I did not lube the Amazon jack screw. I loaned it to several people. by the time I got it back it was unusable. with lube it might last longer. But it's not the welds or the thickness of the metal that matters it's the hardware. you could probably upgrade the hardware on the Amazon one but you'd be close to the price of the Eastwood by that point anyway. Great video!
$50?!! What a ripoff. I paid $25 for mine from aliexpress.
I just ordered the even cheaper $30 version. Wish me luck.
Looks good enough to do one simple job. Dont need a 100 dollar tool to simply roll fenders
Interesting I would have thought they would have been identical from the same China factory. Nice review 👍🏼
Isn't Amazon notorious for making knock off products and putting them above others when searched for? I'll buy an Eastwood one just out of spite for Amazon lol
The Amazon One is great for the people who want to diy
Is the eastwood tool made in USA?
I’m bending a fender, not a steel rod. I could care less about the thickness. As long as it does the same task
Have the same one as the amazon one, paid 30$ for it.
With enough heat you will get the same results. More then likely the only trouble will be time but if you’re experienced won’t be much at all
Does the thickness of the metal really matter? I haven't tried this yet so im not sure the amount of force applied. The jack screw and welds are the most important
Have you ever tested the Amazon tool?
Is the pressure screw the same length?
Took a chance on the Amazon one and love it!! For the little forming I did on two cars the price was right. If I had a shop and am doing more cars maybe I would go with Eastwood
Similar response……….yeah, if I were doing dozens or hundreds of fenders, I would go with the Eastwood, but, im taking the chance and going for the Amazon one. I only have to do the rear fenders as I went with wider tires and dont want to chance cutting them on the track. Im sure it will do fine if i take my time like the other videos say to do………..
Hey do these things fit 6 lug setups???
I wish auto zone well rent these out cuz I'm going to only use it once so I went with Amazon and it worth the money but not for one time use......
The amazon one completely falls apart when you roll thick fenders or 2 layer fenders
