The Eastwood Elite Deep Jaw Shrinker Stretcher is designed for heavy-duty commercial use and features an extra-deep, 7” throat depth and wider jaws to allow working larger pieces and panels.
The Eastwood Elite Deep Jaw Metal Shrinker Stretcher Features:
✅Deep 7" throat for bigger jobs
✅Shrink or stretch up to 16-gauge mild steel
✅Hardened-steel jaws
✅Shrink and Stretch Metal
Shrinking jaws contract metal to create inside curves; stretcher jaws expand metal to create outside curves. Use both to create distinctive shapes and designs, or recreate original shapes on your project vehicle.
Bench Mount or Optional Stand Mount
The Shrinker Stretcher can easily be mounted in a vise or on top of a work bench. The optional stand for 21489 Eastwood Elite Deep Jaw Shrinker Stretcher - Adds significant leverage over the standard 17" handle. User suffers from less fatigue, while putting more shrinking or stretching force to the work piece. The foot pedal enables the user to hold and maneuver the work piece with both hands.
Fabricating compound curves in metal is easier than ever with Eastwood's Elite Mini English Wheel. Whether you're just getting started with an English wheel or simply need a space-saving unit for small projects, this wheel packs huge performance in a small package.
Simply a smaller version of the classic English wheel, this unit allows you to fabricate intricate patch panels that may be too small for a larger wheel or don’t require the expense of such a unit. Expand your metal forming skills and create patch panels correctly when you no longer have to try to accurately form a patch panel over your knee.
The Eastwood Elite Mini English Wheel Features:
✅7.5 inch throat depth to form a 15 inch wide panel (up to 20 inches on angular plane)
✅Wheels and anvils rotate 90 degrees to provide unlimited throat depth in that direction for larger projects
✅Includes 3.19 inch upper wheel and four lower anvils (1/2", 1", 2", 3" radius)
✅Micro-adjustable anvil wheel
✅Form up to 18 gauge steel and 16 gauge aluminum
✅Convenient vise-mount design allows for easy use and storage
✅Rigid Construction in a small package makes this perfect for a shop with limited space or for someone who wants to start forming metal, whether it's for auto panels or general fabrication. ✅Even if you already own a large wheel, many hobbyists and professionals find the need for a small unit and the benefits it provides.
Your patch panels will weld much cleaner when truly formed by stretching rather than bending. When you begin welding that “bent” panel it will want to revert to its original flat shape, and you won't get the results you need. A panel formed in an English wheel that is truly stretched into shape will tend to retain the shape during welding, resulting in a far better fitting, easier welding and cleaner repair.
Panel Beater Sandbag with Teardrop Mallet gives support and flexibility for precision panel beating and metal shaping.
Hand-form metal without nicks or gouges, and with minimal stretching
✅All-leather, 18"x18" panel beater bag has a hook-and-loop fill opening
✅Includes non-marring, 2-1/2" teardrop mallet
✅Just add dry sand to the panel beater bag, and it'll support your sheet metal work piece while "giving" under the mallet blows, to allow your metal piece to be formed into shape.
Sandbag and mallet combination is the ideal way to beat and shape metal panels without nicks or gouges, and with minimal stretching. Suede top cowhide, all-leather construction with double-stitched, glued seams. Hook-and-loop closure makes it easy to fill through your funnel with dry sand or steel shot. 18"x18".
