Default Eastwood fender roller? ***UPDATED with pics***

Has anyone tried the new Eastwood fender roller? Since it seems to be a good deal cheaper than other similar rollers I'm kinda suspicious...

I haven't tried it but everything I've bought from Eastwood is quality and works like it's suposed to. I would buy it, you could always send it back if it doesn't work for ****.

I've had good luck with Eastwood stuff too, but I've never bought any of their tools - mostly just coatings, paint, and such. Well, the roller was $50 off through tomorrow so I went ahead and bought one. I'll probably be rolling my fenders next weekend so I'll report back on how it went if anyone's interested.

I would also like to hear the results. I have to do my fender lips too, might be cheaper to buy that one then pay a body shop to do it.

On my 68 im going to cut off the lip w/ a dremel. b/c since the fender is dbl walled (wheel well and fender all the way to the lip) some people say it will pull in the bottom of the fender. not sure about 4th gens though.

Rent that bad boy out after you get it for lets say $25 + shipping and make your cash back with some x-tra mod $$$$ to boot

Require a paypal deposit and return the papal - $25 when you get it back. Seems fair.
