Anyone have a fender roller?

My friend wants to roll his fenders (subaru wrx) and I was wondering if anyone had a fender roller I can borrow? I can pay you for the use or you can come along and watch or whatever. Thanks

I think it's $20 a day, but $150 deposit.

If you can wait, Harbor Freight sells them for $80 but 2 week delivery.

Otherwise, it's like $50 a fender if you go to a shop. Even more if you tell them you have a G35.

Edit: I see that it's for a Subaru, last I checked (2-3 weeks ago) Mach 3 was only charging $45 a fender for a Scoobie.

Off Topic:
I agree, Eastwood fender rollers are top notch in build quality, but the Harbor Freight one actually works just as well. There's a good reason why it's sold out.

I doubt it will break the first time, but eventually it will break after you get your money's worth and then some. For the price of one Eastwood, you can buy 3 HF fender rollers. Also, they come with a warranty so you won't be screwed if it ever breaks.

As always, this type of tool is user dependent. So, some may say it sucks if they have no experience rolling fenders with any sort of fender roller.
