Description
KANG INDUSTRIAL Foot Operated Shrinker Stretcher
The Shrinker-Stretcher SS-16F with Foot-Operated Stand is a professional manual sheet metal forming tool designed for shrinking (contracting metal for convex/outer curves) and stretching (expanding metal for concave/inner curves). It features a deep throat design with approximately 208 mm variable depth, allowing work deep into larger panels.
The foot-operated stand enables hands-free jaw actuation via a pedal, while interchangeable jaws (one shrink set and one stretch set included) grip and form the metal. It handles up to 1.5mm mild steel.
Hands-Free Foot Operation Shrinker Stretcher. The pedal-controlled stand frees both hands to precisely guide and position the workpiece, reducing fatigue and improving control/speed—ideal for long sessions in automotive restoration or custom fabrication workshops.
Deep Throat for Complex Shapes. Exceptional reach (up to 208mm) enables forming large, compound curves, flanges, or 3D panels without sectioning—perfect for classic car bodies, hot rods, motorcycle tanks, or aircraft parts popular in enthusiast and resto-mod scenes.
Versatile Material Compatibility Automotive Restoration Tools. Strong capacity across mild steel, stainless, and thicker aluminum suits diverse projects, from steel ute trays to aluminum boat repairs or custom bike panels.
Ready-to-Use Package Automotive Tools. Includes both shrink and stretch jaw sets plus the ergonomic stand—no immediate extras needed, offering great value for hobbyists or small panel shops starting metal shaping.
Professional Build Quality. Robust construction ensures longevity in tough garage environments, complementing tools like English Wheels or bead rollers for advanced fabrication.
