Thanks for watching 👨🏭 - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

These bench top ones have come of age...
Nice, I am all about high quality tools, I just can't fit a large English wheel in my garage so a bench one would be ideal for me, and I am not doing large panels anyways. Looks perfect for the money.
They have released the bigger one today and that very good value too for the money!
Looks like a very sturdy well made machine and excellent value for money.
Good review 👍. I'd be amazed (and disappointed) if Matt from Staksey's was selling anything rubbish.
Always been happy with what I got from there!
I, too, have found Stakesys to be very good after getting one of their shrinkers. The wheel looks great and clearly works a treat. I don't really know what I'm doing, so watching your videos have be really good. Thank you 👍
Thank you . Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Cheers for the vid 👍
ordered mine today. and have also sent a little payment to you in gratitude for putting me onto this as i was close to getting a small metz/clarke wheel👍
No problem Ian. Thank you very much! It’s really appreciated . It’ll all go into a pot for the tool!
They do seem to make well considered kit that is accessible to the more serious "Hobbyist". Good simple review, glad you mentioned swaging, the thought crossed my mind, perhaps something other subscribers might like to see you investigate. Thank you.
That’s a good idea thank you 👍
That looks a very credible little wheel. I have their floor mount / pedal operated shrinker stretcher which has been superb. One thing with this, looks like it'd be useful to mount it out from the bench as far as possible as otherwise long bits will soon be hitting your bench.
Seems nuts in these days you can buy a tool like this that could last a lifetime and produce good work all for the price of a couple of week's worth of family shopping (if that).
Completely agree on both accounts! I recently purchased the prototype cast wheel for £1000 and it’s exactly the same as another companies £2500 machine. I really like stakesy’s tools 👍
Very handy, looks good.
That English Wheel is pretty cool....
It sure is 👍
looks mint for the money. was thinking about getting a small metz one just for smoothing out hand made repair sections but this looks far more ridged. thanks for the review👍
No problem. Glad it was useful!
A very neat bit of kit 😎
Even if you had a big wheel you could always use it as a tipping wheel.
Thanks for the interesting video Tom.
No problem Doug 👍
Saw this on Instagram and thought it looked good. Great review 👏
Cheers Simon. I’ll be in touch soon👍
I have one like your's got it from Eastwood works good small panels
Great review tom.
Thank you Geoff. It’s all set up at work for you to try when you next pop in 😂
nice looking bit of kit, i have the metz one and so far it been good but this looks like a definite upgrade, awesome video keep them coming buddy
Thanks Danny. I sent you a picture of it today as I knew you were after one as it maybe the type of thing you’re after.
Nice one, interesting stuff!
Definitely! You couldn’t even make it for that price.I’m sure it’ll get plenty of use 👨🏭
@@Metal_shaper_tom you definitely couldn’t make it, the material cost would be much more I’m sure… a bit crazy really 👍
@@trevsblog I’ve looked at making them and selling them on the channel but I’d be looking at sell at £500 to be worth my while . Oh well I still my make my own one day though.
Impressive finish on the test pieces. The machining of the anvils and the alignment of the wheels looks to be a lot better than many of cheaper things on the market.
Is the adjusting wheel large enough though?
Even though that looks like good value for the money... I hope no one tells your wife. ;)
Where are you working in this video?
Yeah I was happy with the way it’s all been machined. I know it’s all the same kit just rebranded but for that price it’s definitely better than the other rubbish out there. Is the bottom anvil big enough.. I think for the type of jobs you would do on this they serve a purpose and don’t effect it to much. I filmed this on my lunch break at work 😂 it’s a lot nicer than my little unit I rent in the evenings!
Yes the right size for smaller pieces and very impressive finish.
I expected you were at "work".
My "shop" is as big as the great out doors.... since I work outside. ;) But I can use my brother's old 2 car garage sometimes. It's all fun. ;) Cheers.
Looks small enough to roll around a wheel arch insitu.
Kind of . I think my arm would get tired very quickly 😂
is it still an English wheel if its not made in the UK ?? shouldn't most on the market be Chinese wheels?
Do you think that’s just narrow mindedness? Most things we use on a daily basis are made abroad. Anyway who cares where it made? normally that just a poor excuse for people who can’t actually use them.
@@Metal_shaper_tom i believe we have a slight miscommunication. it was a joke, a poor play on words.. and i have no problem with products made abroad. most of the crap that comes out of china is exactly that, crap. the corporations that are selling it are making huge profits off of sub standard products, only concerned with profit instead of investing their resources into bringing up the local economy. and yes i have no experience with an english wheel. would like to have time to learn to use one, luckily all the 8 or 9 cars i own are in fairly decent shape and for the most part i can get almost every panel premade for them. so my experience with body work is cutting patch panels from another car and burning them in with a mig.
@@DontCallMeGarage it’s a shame because if the same product was made in the uk it would cost 3x as much and people just wouldn’t pay it, so I can’t see it changing.Just think of the nice wheel you could by if you sold a couple of cars.
@@Metal_shaper_tom same here in the US, the cost of labor alone is more than what the import product sells for.
the pneumatic plannishing hammers are the same, $200 from china or $2400 from the US or Canada, i could make one myself for $50 but then i would spend a whole weekend building the frame and machining the dies. but then i'm out a weekend that i could be working on other things.
