The \u003cstrong\u003estretcher\u003c\/strong\u003e elongates the fiber by expanding it, creating a convex curve. By alternating between the two functions, complex shapes can be created on thin sheet metal without wrinkles or tears.

Check the specific limits in the technical table for the Bernardo Shrinker and Stretcher SS 70.
