Shrinker Stretchers?

Anyone have any recommendations on a good set? I've thought about Eastwoods but would like to know what others use.

Why buy something when you can build it for twice the price..

Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done...

I have the eastwood set, works good, spend the little extra money and get the set that has the two heads. mine works great but changing the jaws can really slow you down making compound curves. for the money I recommend the Eastwood set.

I'll check out TP, I have a Scat Blast cabinet and its high quallity. Harbor Freight makes one that is foot operated..that would be great if I could trust it to work.
