Eastwood Metal Shrinker / Stretcher Set

[JR]

What one would you get?

This one I like because you don't have to swap out the jaws but it takes up more space...

i have always used the floor model made by us tools /you do have to change the jaws but it is foot operated / and you can better control large pieces of metal

I thought about buying a the stand/foot pedal when I get them but I figure why spend the money on the stand when I can build it for cheaper!

well i bought the one that i have to switch out the jaws. It does suck but i was too cheap to spend the extra 30 bucks.

Whatever you do ... DO NOT DROP THE JAWS> they suck to put back together.

i would say pay the extra 30 bucks and never worry about switching jaws. Usually you start with the stretcher and then 5 min later you want to shrink something ... so you switch out the jaws ... mumble a bit and then turn around and want to stretch again ... mumble some more .. and the sage goes on. May save some time by just walking over to the opposite and keep plugging away.
