Default anyone need a fender roll

I just purchased a fender rolling kit from tire rack. I just don't think i'll need it later on. so if we can pass it on member after member, we can all enjoy the savings. i bought it for like 316 shipped. the next member can have it for 290 shipped, so forth and so on.

What does it consist of I'm curious, and does it work better than the traditional aluminum baseball bat method?

probably something like this:

I'm assuming that it works waaay better and does a cleaner job than the baseball method

Looks just like the one sold by The Eastwood Co. Works great, using a good heat gun will prevent paint cracking. Speaking from experience...I have one

does anyone that has used one know what the spacers do that come with it. tirerack sends this nice *** tool with no instructions whatsoever. i mean i have no idea if its even missing anything that might keep it from working right when i go to use it.

you put the roller on the car the put all 5 of the little dished washers on. Then you put the 5 lugs on nice and tight. The washers protect the face of the tool from getting damaged

I have a roller as well from Eastwood.

You can do the same damage with a roller as you can with a baseball bat/hammer if you don't take your time and heat the paint up a lot

Hey, i'll like to use that. And I would pay for shipping both ways plus a little something extra.

Sounds like you have a business!
