Another Bead Roller thread..
I've been reading all the threads I can on bead rollers and am almost ready to purchase. Several of the rollers shown in the other thread would be ideal but I feel that they are not cost effective given what I want to do.
At this time I think I am relegated to either one of the Eastwood rollers or this one I found on Ebay here. I think the ebay roller is actually more than I need though at the present time.

One plus for this unit is it appears that adding a DC gearmotor to it may not be too difficult.
What I'll be working on are some new dress up panels for my engine bay and I'll be working primarily with 22gauge aluminum panels. Nothing structural.
Harbor freight is out since there are none within 100 miles of me.
So, what do you guys think I would be better off with? Would this one from Eastwood be ok to work with or should I go for the ebay unit?
The is the Eastwood unit but it only comes with one die and has a limited assortment of additional dies.
