Hi Janne i bought a sheetmetal cutter (see pic) 2 years ago
and i use it everyday it still is sharp and the blades show just very minimal wear.

i can recommend them. Plus their prices are very reasonable.

Yes, robert, the shrinker is one thing, i have had in mind.If I remember correctly, it would be around 200 eur, including shipping to finland.In finland a dealer sells , Pela , trademark, shrinker, 220eur + post fees.It looks straight from china.And thereīs dealer for german Dinosaur, but the price is much different,of course ..so Matthys could be my choice.Thanks

hi,
i talked to both of them (Matthys and Dino) at the Techno Classica (car show) and they both get their cheaper tools from the same reseller from China. I guess itīs the same guy, that HF buys from.
The Dino guy showed me the cheap shrinker and stretcher , he had there for demonstration. He said, that he would have to change the jaws after every single day at those shows. ( They donīt look very stable)
But if you expect chinese quality, you know what youīll get

Dino had a very nice new shrinker-stretcher there but this one costs ten times the price of the china tools
