Anybody used a Eastwood Fender crimper?
 
Hi

On my daily 1303 I've fitted some slightly wider tyres, there just touching the lip on the fender/wing/mudguard.

Has anybody tried one of these http://www.eastwood.com/fender-finisher.html on a steel fender/wing/mudguard?

I've just looked at the video (I can't hear the commentry) and it shows a series of indents formed in the outer arch! the other thing that would worry me is that crimping the edge will allow mud/silt/salt to be held in the arch for even quicker deterioration due to rust worms. That is one area that is difficult to clean properly even on a standrad car. I take the point about tyre clearance but if that is an issue get wider arches or stretch the arch out professionally.
