swager + shrinker/stretcher

[KennyA]

hi everyone, i'm looking at buying a swager and a metal shrinker/stretcher for doing for on my car.

i'm not looking to spend much as its for hobby. What would people recommend for me to buy?


cheers

There is a seller on Ebay knocking out what I think are Chinese imports, they do go cheap and the feedback is good too, I bought a bar bender a year ago off them and it's a brilliant bit of kit thats had a lot of use.

I can't put the item number here in case someone off the forum is bidding at the moment but they list all the time.

I bought a cheap swager from ebay Thursday. Will try it out and report back.
It says that the max thickness is 1mm steel. Will I break it if I try it with 1.2mm? I'd rather make a floorpan from 1.2 than 1mm.
Cheers
