You might check with Neil Dunder Sales@gogitzit.com
At one time he said he was going to produce Erco style dies. If he does and they're have as good as his Marchant style dies, they will be world class.

Personally I wouldn’t pay much for them or give them a big priority as a tool acquisition. I own a set and rarely use them. You’re much better off stretching metal with directional dies in some type of powered hammer. With Erco stretching dies the stretching is so localized you can actually pull / rip the metal apart if you’re not very cautious, that would be almost unheard of with directional hammer stretching. With directional dies you can also taper off the hit point if you want to do fan out stretching, an example would be a right angle flange at the end of a tube or the bell housing area on a transmission cover. I’m not saying they have no use, i’m just saying in most cases the correct directional dies will work faster, better and with less marking of the metal . ~ John Buchtenkirch

Thanks I kinda already know they are limited in what they would be used for. I dont have a power hammer "yet" maybe someday Who knows?? The limited use they would ever see in my garage is why I am not willing to buy a set at $1400 from erco I think thats ridiculous and would rather spend that kinda money on something else. You advice is right on Thanks Dave
