I am looking to purchase a fender roller for the shop I work at. I have found the Eastwood for about $250. I haven't found a price on a Haweka roller. Any one know where I can look to find one? Thanks in advance

I used an aluminum bar with the tires on, it worked, but not enough. Then I removed the wheels, and used a heat gun along with a rubber mallet, and pounded at the inner lip.

And this is what I ended up with:

It looks pretty good(to me), since it was my first attempt. But from someone who's used a fender a roller, he said it's pretty shitty. At least the tires don't rub anymore.

He does work for a shop or owns a shop tho...serve several customers and that pays for your rollers...if i were you...i wouldn't want to accidentally screw up with make-shift rollers and pay for a whole quarter panel+paint...but then again i am somewhat of a pessimist when it comes to working on cars...
