Maybe you could buy it, use it and sell it on ebay for 1/2. Or sell it on here, im sure somone will buy it if the price is right. Heck if you buy one and use it id probably buy it from you via pay pal as long as i was paying less than the price new shipped to my door. Wait.... let me check into the product before we get carried away!!

      ^ Co-Signed. I realize that times are tough for most of us right now, but renting this tool will cost you half or more than what it will take to buy it. If you dont want to own it after you use it once or twice, I'm sure that you can sell it here or somewhere else to recoup most of your investment. Step up to the plate Mr nickeld_ck.:bsjerk:

      Or just MAKE one for the cost of electricity to weld it up LOL Mine will do everything that that over priced piece of cast aluminum will do. And it got here quicker too. Have I lost the idea of folks willing to do stuff for them selves?? Why buy that thing when you could do the same with some 1/8" wood board. That thing is nice for the guy in a coat and tie that doesn't get out in the shop much. But for any guy doing things for himself its a laugh. Spend yer money on tools that work. Not tools that appear to work. JR

      Cast Aluminum, ha. It's a flimsy piece of plastic. I have one, seems to work ok, but should cost around $20.

      I agree that it is just a cheap plastic deal. Should be in the under $40 bin.

      I bought one, used it, was happy with it, then sold it! Total outlay after transactions was 25 dollars. 2 min to order it and it was easy to use. I highly reccomend people measure their own car! If I had the sheep mentality for my 68 Camaro, I would have had some very expensive paper weights....

      Oh, my bust, I thought it was aluminum. Well hell, if its plastic no wonder they cost so much. Friken petroleum products are going up LOL

      Never was into plastic tools, unless they are disposable. Like tooth brushes. Heck, hot melt some old tooth brushes together.

      Wheelrite is over priced, plain and simple. Does it do what its is supposed to do? Yup. So would a couple of melted together toothbrushes. Dont make me fab up a toothbrush wheel simulator, I just might LOL

      Sorry, I just had to laugh.. Its a tool for convenience. I have a full on machine shop here and wont make a tool if I can buy it for next to nuthing. But, 70 bones isnt close to nuthing. So some cardboard will do the same thing. Or some 3/16" steel Plastic? Really?? I thought it was aluminum. JR
