OK, got ambitious and went out and tried this stuff out. Rundown: bought a shrinker/stretcher combo set on ebay from Woodward fab for $169. Same combo at eastwood is $249. Don't know about brand of eastwood stuff. The Woodward stuff is overseas manufactured. Tried it wth both the shrinker AND the stretcher jaws and theey both woork great. The shrinker is slow going on 18 ga. as I expected, but the stretcher works GREAT and FAST. I am well please and between the bead roller and the stretcher I saved over $400 compared to eastwood. That's some serious $$$avings!!!!
