That's a pretty good tool. Unfortunatly $300 is alot of money for something when most people will just use a hammer
Fender Rolling Machines are pretty nifty. My local club just split the cost of renting one (think it was around $15/person) and it does a beautiful job. Much better than the crappy hammer and guess method. Makes a perfect, even crease that sometimes looks cleaner than stock.

You'd have to be doing that a LOT to justify spending that much cash. I need to get mine rolled whenever i get my 17X11 ZR1's installed (kinda need the money for tires and spacers - rearend rebuild was more important). Im just gonna go to a body shop, im sure it wont cost quite that much.. i hope...

Just roll the car forward with a baseball bat between the tire and the fender like they did in the old days.

If it's going to chip, it's going to chip. I can't see any particular method being better than any others in that case.
