Gently add custom bends and contours to a variety of metals with our DIY shrinker and stretcher set. Unlike other combos that have a single body, this set has two separate bodies, jaws and handles — one for stretching and the other for shrinking. You’ll be able to get more done without constantly switching hardware around. Both tools arrive pre-assembled with drilled holes for mounting on your benchtop. You also can clamp the metal shrinker-stretcher combo in a bench vice or attach it to a pedestal stand.
Our automotive shrinker and stretcher do the precision bending you need for trunk corners, door jambs, wheel and window openings, floor pans and many other parts. The tools have compound 45:1 leverage which lets you form the metal as-is — no relief cuts or hammer pounding are needed! The stretcher housing is yellow and the shrinker housing is blue so you can easily tell them apart at a glance. Eastwood designs these DIY tools in-house and backs them with our lifetime expert tech support — call or email us seven days a week.
The Eastwood Shrinker Stretcher Combo Features:
Ideal for perfect-fit rust-repair metal work around wheel openings, door jambs, windshields and trunk gutters
Shrinker/Stretcher Combo Set includes 2 jaws, 2 housings and 2 handles
Works on up to 18-gauge mild steel, 20-gauge stainless, and 16-gauge aluminum
1 Year Warranty
Fabricate Gentle Radius Bends and Contours
The Eastwood metal Shrinker Stretcher lets you easily fabricate gentle radius bends and contours in steel, aluminum, stainless or copper. Compound 45:1 leverage allows effortless forming without making relief cuts, heating, or hammer-forming.
Shrink and Stretch Steel and Aluminum
Shrinker/Stretcher Metal-Shaping Combo reproduces wheel wells, dog legs, trunk corners...almost any metal fabrication requiring a combination curve and angle. Use the shrinker to contract metal for inside curves; use the stretcher to expand metal for outside curves.
The hand-operated metal shrinker stretcher press multiplies your pressure by a factor of 45, creating leverage to work on up to 18-gauge mild steel, 20-gauge stainless, and 16-gauge aluminum. Clamps in your vice or mounts on your bench or pedestal stand.
What's Included
2 jaws (shrinker/stretcher), 2 housings, 2 handles, and instructions. Comes assembled and pre-drilled for bench mounting.
Use appropriate eye and hand protection when handling sheet aluminum or steel.

51437 Shrinker/Stretcher Jaw Set (The original-equipment jaws are of hardened steel to provide years of normal use, but if you work with stainless or a lot of carbon steel, the jaws will tend to wear out and replacement will be necessary.)

Eastwood shrinker stretcher.I have used Eastwood S/S many times before with awesome results. I saw the sale and had to just get my own. Highly recommend adding this to your arsenal of metal shaping tools.

Better with foot standThis is very nice for thin gage metal but not good for 18 gage metal with out foot stand.

Works SpectacularI bought this 2 weeks ago and used it for the first time today. Wish I had bought it along time ago
I have an Eastwood Shrinker/Stretcher. I would like to have another body so I can have both a Strinker and a Stretch setup so I don't have to change jaws. Is it possible to purchase another body without the jaws?
Asked by: mike
We would have to advise you to contact our Sales team in regards to this at help@eastwood.com. If this is possible, it would have to be done as a Parts Request at the discretion of our Parts Department.

Will this be able to shrink or stretch sheet metal with 2 bends? Im trying to create a roof panel up top where the windshield sits, across the top. Or is there technique/steps with this tool and other tools to get the panel shape with a curve.
Asked by: Cris
Without seeing exactly what your trying to do this tool the other options for shaping metal are English wheels. both are best suited to stretch and bend metal to the shape that you want.
