Fender Roller Wheel Arch Flaring Former Extending Reforming Tool, Heavy Duty Tool Lip Rolling Extending Tools for Automobile Maintenance

Needed to lightly roll fenders on my car but didnt want to pay $100 for someone to do it. This roller doesnt seem like the best quality but it got the job done. I made sure to grease everything up during assembly and didnt go crazy with pressure on my fenders, didnt have any problems. It barely fit in the wheel wells of my miata but I suspect that it'd be the same with other rollers.Overall satisfied with my purchase, hopefully it holds up with use

Was worried it wouldn't work right after reading other reviews. But it worked out pretty good.

this is a great tool for the money. Please note that you need to widen the slots for >12mm bolts. I needed it for my VW Golf that has 14x1.5 lug bolts. 5min with the carbide burr and it fits perfect...Did both front fenders and had no issues, I am sure it will last for many cars if needed. If you are a professional and use this every day, a pro tool (by definition) makes sense, of course, but for the occasional DIYer, this is a GREAT alternative.

Roller fell apart multiple times while using it, everytime I tried to put tension on the fender lip something would fall apart or the roller was very weak and wobbly. Spend the extra 30 bucks on a nicer one. If you have a European car with lug bolts don’t bother, my lug bolts wouldn’t even fit had to spend a tone of time boring out the holes so my lug bolts would fit.

It’s not that it was bad, but for $30 more, you can get the Eastwood, which has much nicer quality. The directions were IKEA level at best, and I threaded it backwards and dealt with it.The Good: Once on the car, it wasn’t too bad. It was way better than a bat and hammer. I rolled the front and rolled and pulled the rear. Flattening the lip and pulling the fender out gave me about an extra 1” of clearance (1/2” each). So, if you know what you’re doing or can watch some YouTube videos, it will get the job done, maybe even a few jobs, but for $60, it’s basically disposable.The Bad: The rubber was a bit softer than others and was getting pretty torn up compared to the Eastwood. The heat from the fender didn’t help either; by the time I would finish a fender, the rubber was too soft. Eastwood took the heat better.The Ugly: The adjustment knobs started off fine, wheel 1-2 no issues. By wheel 3, the knobs started to get stuck. I thought I was tightening it too much. But by wheel 4, I was using a hammer or a wrench to loosen them for adjustments. I would not expect it to make it through another car, at least it won’t be worth the hassle afterward. So, buy this like a Harbor Freight item and expect it to be single-use.But the question is… is it worth it?Well, you could pay $300 to have a pro do it and probably do a better job than you because if you knew what you were doing, you would already have a nicer tool like the Eastwood or better. This was my second attempt, and it wasn’t perfect, but it certainly worked and saved me $240 that I can now spend on better speakers.So… Yes! Technically, it is well worth it, even if it’s for one-time use.BUT…For an extra $40, you can have an Eastwood, which is the only other product I can compare it to. You still saved $200 over a pro, but if you plan to use this more than once, it might not make sense.If you are planning to make money by doing this, do not buy it. $300/car - $60/car nets you $240 profit per car. $2400 over 10 jobs. But an Eastwood will last much longer, so you only lose $100 on the first car after purchase. Say it only works for a few cars, and you have to replace it twice for 10 jobs. That’s only a loss of $200, so you net $2800 over 10 jobs. Boom, $400 bucks, you’re welcome.In this case, HARD PASS. Go buy at least an Eastwood, but if you’re serious, find out what other pros are using and stop trying to be cheap on Amazon unless it’s for practice.But maybe you don’t want to do other people’s cars, just your own. We have established that DIY is at least 1/3 the cost. So, if you do a second car, these will cost you $120, while the Eastwood can be used a few times, so for your second car, you break even and save $20.In this case, pass. Just save yourself the hassle and grab the better quality tool. And if you are practicing, the better quality is going to be more forgiving.But, if you want to save as much money as possible for a one-time job, you can’t argue with the math… this is the cheapest option to get the job done.Hope this helps!

Happy with it

Quality is decent enough, especially for the price. I did have to drill out one of the guide holes a few mm’s to assemble but otherwise assembled easily and bolted right up to my 5x120 BMW hub and worked great.If you want a no fuss roller and plan to use it a lot get the Eastwood. If you want a solid one for 1/2 the price get this one.

honestly a decent buy, i wasn’t optimistic so i got the $5 protection plan expecting it to strip the threads like others said but it was fine. there’s no assembly instructions but it isn’t bad if you reference review pictures and whatnot. i’d rate it higher if the overall fit/finish was a bit better, and if it were shorter. the way the roller head mounts was a little crooked on mine so it hit the arm of the unit so every rotation there was a spot it would rub that just felt bad but it wasn’t difficult to work aroundit was barely short enough to do my car (2010 mazdaspeed 3), it would have come out a little less risky if i could angle the head flatter but with the length of the arm you kind of have to have it close to perpendicular with the fender lip. you have to use a lot of heat and go really slow to prevent this from messing something up, just a piece of mind thing mostly but i feel like i could have gotten it 15% better with a nicer fender rollerlast thing because it isn’t mentioned in the instructions and wasn’t the most intuitive, the washers that are on the handle of the roller are meant for the lug nuts to sit on, they have a conical seat to bolt it on more securely than just using the lug nuts against the painted surface directly. kinda nice that it’s also the same taper of the normal aftermarket wheel lug nut which most people buying this probably have, but if you have OEM lug nuts and wheels it’s still perfectly fine to use. if i need to use this again and durability becomes a concern i’ll update the review but i’d suggest it to a friend so long as they don’t drive a miata or something

Worked very well. A lot of adjustments to get the right angle you need. Once you play around with it, it's very easy to use. Seems like it will hold up and the quality is good.

Very good pricing and qualityIt did the job needed very wellThe only problem with it is that it’s not assembled and takes time and tools to assemble it

The roller comes disassembled, and without instructions. This isn’t a big problem, after playing around you should be able to get it together. My advice is look at the Amazon picture and try to replicate it. The one on the parts list included isn’t even of this roller.For the price, this is not a bad buy. That being said, the build quality is what you’d expect. There is wiggle room and play in almost every aspect, and when you’re rolling fenders it’s a bit annoying having to readjust because the angle or gap you thought you had doubles. And no it’s not because I didn’t tighten it enough.The problems I had was that each screw would constantly get stuck or incredibly tight, and ultimately the long pressure adjusting one stripped the little hole it goes through, meaning that the roller could no longer apply pressure to my fenders. Fortunately I was able to do 2 fenders before that happened and they turned out great.If you’re in a pinch, try it. If you can, get the Eastwood
