the Eastwoods work good but I have never used the cheap ones they might work just as well not sure what you're looking for here.

It seems my post missed its mark. I know many ppl have rolled their fenders and i found this product interesting..Thought id share it for conversation purposes, as i am a sheetmetal worker by trade and havent seen one before.

thats the tool that pretty much everyone uses when they roll their fenders(other than baseball bats etc). eastwood is one of the better ones and more readily avail. good price though

I honestly don't much care for the eastwood. Put too much force to it and the nylon wheel rubs on it's mount and makes for a difficult go round.

Talking

Personally, I quite like Huck's fender rolling kit- looks kind of like a mallet.

Also, Swivels fender rolling kit works well too- I should know... that's what I used (with his help!) PVC Pipe... and a heat gun.

Worked well- and was an AWESOME workout for the forearms.

Did you sleeve it with a one size smaller to act as an axel?

I'll probably have a go at this in the spring.
I've decided to take a pass on the commercial roller.
Just haven't decided which alternate way to go yet.

^calvin and Hobbes was one of the highlights of my childhood. Knowing how to talk polls didn't help too much in grade six though.

If I can get a uh customer of sorts i'd do a DIY vid on hammer rolling. I'd do my winter car but I think the rust might throw me off a bit haha.
