## Description

"18"" BEAD ROLLER"

Review: Wicked nice!! - For the money, this is a very quality piece of equipment. Haven't pushed its limits yet, but steamrolls through 20 and 22 gauge like nothing providing crisp, well defined beads. Tested the roller with some scrap 18 gauge sheet, does ok with a slightly degraded bead shape, definately it's limit. Some imported tools, such as this bead roller are pretty nice and work fine for the part-timer once you dial them in. These are pretty much thrown together with cheap hardware, keeping the price low. You're still way ahead even after a hardware upgrade and tweaking session. Also, it also beads and flanges just fine at it's 18 gauge limit. No issues with flexing or distorted beads at said limit with proper die pressure. Don't overload it and it does fine!! Tool itself is very sturdy and heavy! All shafts, bushings, and cogs are true and square. No complaints. Dies are smooth and leave virtually no marring or scratches on work piece. Downsides? The adjusting hardware is junk as well as the zerk fittings. A super easy, and cheap fix to replace. Also, quality control seems to be all over the map, I may have just got lucky and got a really nice one. Roll of the dice? For way under 150 bills, shipped, I can't really see a major fault with it. Even if you get a bad one, it may be a nice excuse to modifiy it.
Review: Awesome bead roller - I bought this to make panels for my truck as well as other items. It is easy to use however one thing I would recommend is to either buy the stand or be skilled enough to make your own stand. They say you can put it in a vise but that is not sturdy enough for me. I made my own stand. The bead roller works very easy and I found it to make nice crisp lines in my panels.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It can be made into a great tool.
*by S***L on January 22, 2023*

This is a great starting point if you want a really solid Bead Roller. I wouldn't recommend using this "as is" unless you're rolling 22 gauge or thinner material. I bought it specifically with the intent to beef it up using the simple methods described in Bart Harkema's Youtube video. After copying what he did and making a few mods to suit my needs, we have a really functional tool at the workshop that will work on 18 gauge steel without any issue.
