Has anyone used this or have any opinion:


Twist Hammer (http://www.eastwoodco.com/itemdy01.asp?Dep_Key1=BodFen&T1=31062&I1.x=48&I1.y=57)

I can do the heat then pound shrinking OK and my Dad is real good at it. I would much rather find a method that doesn't warp the metal so much.

I don't know if its worth that much but if it works I might go looking for a better price.

i have used a scrinking dolly when making plate armor (close enuf to "body" work :flipoff2: ) and works quite well when you get the hang of it (pratice of scraps you have randomly stepped on to bend) and that price is not bad for that quality. you can pick up cheap pakistan ones for dirt at flea markets and stuff but the "cuts" are not as crisp but work well to learn with as it requires more effort.
and mind you 75% of the work i was doing was cold, so a dolly style was perfect

Thanks I may buy the dolly as it is quite a bit cheaper. I know a shop near by has those.
