Easy and cheap to make hand held shrinker

On this episode I make a tool that makes using a shrinker stretch portable. Making it available for on the job application

[@shanemulligan791]

Love it. Will have to knock one up too.

[@tedbauer7380]

Thanks for showing how this was made. Could you make a short video on making the door handle indentation on your door skin video please?

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Thank you. Next time I do a similar job I’ll add a bit extra in for door handle

[@tonyciarleglio8651]

Freekin' brilliant!

[@samperras]

Good stuff

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Thank you. It’s a great tool

[@SkaterStimm]

I have a similar situation where I welded some metal on a curved area where the windshield attaches to fix some rust, however it didn't have the curve I needed. However it was over 4 feet long and weighed 20lbs and welded to the car. This would come in handy. Funny enough I have the same style kick shrinker/stretcher so I could make this easily.

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Definitely make a set it will come in handy

[@SkaterStimm]

@@Resurrected_metalshaping I will, I will take a pic tomorrow when I am done making it.

[@animal_engineering]

Thats cool as, think I'll join the que and make one as well. cheers for showing us.

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

That’s all good I thought it would be good to share.

You could hold it in the vise if needed as well.

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

Awesome video this is a great idea.
How much do you think this would cost in parts.?

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

With buying a set of shrink jaws I’d say about $200

[@billsimpson2392]

Hello. Do you know if you can you buy those jaws on their own? (In Australia!)

[@Resurrected_metalshaping]

You can buy the jaws on there own from hare and forbs they have a few options.

[@billsimpson2392]
