KANG Industrial SS-18FD Dual Head Shrinker & Stretcher Machine
The KANG Shrinker/Stretcher with Foot Operation Stand SS-18FD is a robust, manual metal forming tool engineered for precise shrinking and stretching of sheet metal, ideal for creating curves, flanges, and custom shapes in fabrication projects. This hands-free unit features a foot-operated pedal that allows operators to control the machine while keeping both hands on the workpiece for better manipulation and safety. It comes complete with interchangeable shrinker jaws for compressing metal (inside curves) and stretcher jaws for expanding it (outside curves), mounted on a sturdy stand for ergonomic use. With a maximum capacity of 1.2mm mild steel and 2.0 mm aluminum, it's suited for medium-duty applications in automotive restoration, aircraft panel work, or general metalworking.
Hands-Free Foot Operation Shrinker/Stretcher. The pedal control frees up both hands for precise material handling, reducing fatigue and improving safety during long sessions—perfect for Australian fabricators working on custom utes, trailers, or off-road vehicles in demanding environments.
