    Hi, I have been looking to invest in a power stretcher. Just want to know what one I should go for.
    I have seen a few on eBay but are really old will they be worth it...

    Where is the best place to get one. I have asked my local suppliers, they told me they order them in from America but haven't got back to me with the price. I asked them weeks ago.

    You won't get one without waiting a few weeks to get it in :mad::mad:

    I don't mind waiting, seen a few websites but not too sure about spending that much money on a site I haven't heard of.

    I got an old crain off eBay in a metal box weighs a bit but does the job well. Had it a few years now but only paid £100

    Thanks for the replies. Ended up with a older Roberts Jr power stretcher it's in great condition will do me for now, will maybe upgrad to the crain swivel lock next year.

    Lol. Yeah you're right enough, I should really learn to read rather that just look at the picture.
