Fender roller < useless piece of scrap poo
Baseball bat > fender roller
You don’t want to know how many of those rollers break … and not the cheap ones. If they don’t break, they tear the fender.
how do the rollers break? what exactly is the design flaw or material flaw?
It’s a design flaw I guess. In theory it should work, but the actual roller is the weak link. It secures very firmly to the lugs, so the weak link is either your fender lip (and = tear) or the roller.
If the fender lip is pinched and folded by the factory, it makes it really strong.
I’ve seen one break clean apart at the hinge which wasn’t so bad. The worst was one that just kinked a bit at the actual roller, and it took 3 horrible fender rolls (tears, folds and totally uneven) before they noticed the roller wasn’t lining up properly.
I think the downfall was the need to make a “universal” roller. All the adjustability is just more places it can break.
And this wasn’t at the hands of incompetent boobs either. Well, at least one wasn’t 
In all situations, they turned to the tried and true baseball bat.
Then again, if you really think you can pull your fenders AND save your paint job, you’re more than likely in for an unpleasant surprise.
i have no idea how it broke or more so how a bat can do a better job than a cad designed tool that the best people in the body industry swear by.
ive done many many cars with the roller prior to it breaking and the results have been fantastic.
the one i own is a professional grade eastwood roller… it has a large delerine wheel supported by ballbearing rollers… the entire frame work is a powerdercoated steel construction and the base plate is 1/2 an inch thick
the ONLY way it breaks or does not do a good job is if
A: the person using it does not know how to use it
B: the tool is misused and is not secured properly to the hub using ALL mounting studs.
past that… there is no way at all that it can break.
the roller i posess will not be rented or loaned out anymore due to damage incured durring the many times it has left my sight…
to bad so sad.
buy your own.
GT
or pm Gonad
he will ship it to you just PM him
Will you do the work with your roller for a fee? Always an option.
That fender roller did one of the best and smoothest jobs rolling fenders I’ve seen…
It’s not that the people using it were incompetent, they just didn’t respec the roller… or the directions by which it is meant to be used…

thanks for the suggestions guys. baseball bat it is. im not paying $200 to get my fenders rolled. and jesse id gladly come down but i wouldnt make it without shredding my rear tires
I rented Gregs roller. This thing works great, but there are definitely some techniques you need to use. When it is used properly, the thing works great. I only cracked the paint on one of my fenders and it was one that had been resprayed with cheap paint.
What exactally does this do?
Folds up the lip on your fender and can give you a slight flare if you are aggressive with it.
I think the roller has more to do with flipping the sharp edge of the fender
giving your car a little extra clearance. :dunno:
