Default fender roller

so i need to roll the inner lip of the rear fenders. Ive seen the rentals on ebay and such, but with all the costs, i was thinking about buying one. I know that a lot of people here need/want to do this.

My question is would anyone else want to rent the tool if i buy one. im not talking the leave a huge deposit one, this would be a totally trust based with a much more minimal rental fee (maybe 20 bucks).

feel free to post thoughts.

the tool is from tire rack. If i can get a list together ill pull the trigger.


If you guys are close to the N. VA area, we can set a date, meet up and roll all the fenders in one day.

I used a bat/heat gun to roll mine, but would have rather used a fender roller instead. Turned out ok though. If you can get ahold of one and rent it out cheap enough, people will pay for it. I would have, but didn't want to pay the $40 other members were asking.
