Sealey Shrinker and Stretcher Tool for Sheet Metal Fabrication
The Sealey Shrinker and Stretcher Tool is a versatile sheet metal fabrication tool designed for creating precise curves in metal panels without the need for cutting, welding or heating. This hand-operated press combines both shrinking and stretching capabilities in a single unit, making it ideal for panel fabrication and repair work across automotive restoration, HVAC installation and general metalworking applications. Featuring dual-function jaws, this tool allows you to contract metal for inside curves using the shrinker function, or expand metal for outside curves with the stretcher. The robust design can form curves to a radius as tight as 76mm whilst handling mild steel up to 1.2mm (18 gauge) and aluminium up to 1.6mm (16 gauge) thickness. With a 45:1 leverage ratio and 356mm handle, the tool provides substantial mechanical advantage for effortless operation, reducing user fatigue during extended fabrication sessions. The 25.4mm throat depth and 3.2mm jaw clearance offer good accessibility for most panel work, whilst two mounting holes enable secure bench installation for stable operation.
