Much more affordable than the Eastwood Fender Roller that attached to the hub..

ya i wouldnt recomend this unless u are really trying to save..but even then there are local guys that will come to ur house and do it for the same price as that. It seems like the finished product would come out the same as when i used pliers..pretty much square dents every inch or so

Did anyone actually watch the video on their website? Seemed to work easily without deforming the outside of the fender. Looks pretty decent to me.
Even with the hub mounted roller people have lots of problems with waving the outer fender. I watched my brother do his and it looked like a pain in the ****.

I sanded a little over .25" off mine and it came out real well. I wanted to start a thread on it but I have no camera and my blackberry sucks. Anyway, its enough for my 9.5 +28's to clear, and there's still a lot of lip left so in my opinions it's just as rigid as before. Doesn't really answer you question on the rolling tool, I'm just suggesting other options.

im pretty sure this will not work on the rear of the car. the front fender will bend a lot easier than the rear 1/4 panels cause of the pinch weld. from the looks of the vid they have i would say it going the bent the crap out of your fender cause your pushing against the outside. i would stay away from that

You need to get ahold of me. My friend had a specific rolling machine that he recently acquire for his Evo. He is in Tucson as well.

A cheaper alternative, he even has a way to fix any damage that might be done to the paint in the process :P Cool headband for +3 to roll skills.

Take it from someone who has done both good and bad rolls and pull with pipes, bats, hammers, and rollers, rollers are worth it for a lot of reasons. A well executed fender roll or even pull without cracked paint is usually the result of patience, heat, and working incrementally from the right angle with the right amount of pressure. All of those things are going to be much harder or impossible with those glorified channel locks. I can't imagine anyone doing a pull with those like you can with a roller either.
