Default Fender rolling tool

Where can I get the tool used to roll a fender well lip? Is there anywhere that I can rent this tool, or would I have to buy it? Thanks in advance!

Check the wheel and tire forum right now.

I think the guys name is 69TA? He rents one out with a heat gun and everything needed to get the job done right. I believe it's right around $50/$60 bucks like someone else said.

Don't do that unless you are willing to take the chance of Fing up your fenders

I have the eastwood roller and it works great. Try to rent one if you can and do the job right the 1st time

Thanks for all the tips guys. I' m researching this for a 66 Mustang. The owner of the car heard the baseball bat trick, but he can afford to change out the new 1/4's and wheel wells if they get FUBARed by that trick. I want to get the tool, so I can take care of my fenders for when I finally put 315' s on the back. I don' t have his money, and don' t want to damage my car.
