The shrinking action compresses the sheet metal, concentrating the material, useful for closing curves; the stretching action elongates it, distributing it, useful for opening curves. The two interchangeable attachments included (one shrinker, one stretcher) eliminate tool changeover times. The 1.2 mm capacity on mild steel and 1.5 mm on aluminum covers virtually all historical and modern car bodywork, light sheet metal covers, and artisanal work on copper and brass up to 1.5 mm. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is typically chosen by vintage car restorers, tinsmiths, and metal hobbyists who work with small pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Bernardo range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Bernardo Shrinker\/Stretcher range, the SS 40 P is the entry-level model for manual use: compact, lightweight (2.7 kg), with a 40 mm throat depth. Above it, the range includes Shrinker\/Stretchers with greater throat depths (60-100 mm) and heavy-duty lever or pneumatic versions for professional workshops. The 40 mm throat depth of the SS 40 P is its main limitation: it can only process small pieces or the perimeter areas of larger pieces. For restoring side windshields, rear fenders, and car panels, the SS 40 P is correctly sized; for larger pieces or deep internal work, consider models with a larger throat depth. The tool is ergonomically designed to be fixed to a workbench: the mounting holes in the base allow for attachment with standard bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKrollit logistics and support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBernardo shipping in 5-9 business days (7 days to the South).
