Shrinker/stretcher fix 

Thank you for this. I bought a set last month and they probably need the same fix. They are super hard to operate. Thank you

Nice fix. . I have an old set of HFT ones 15yrs now still work great key os to keep the metal working surfaces clean....I built a stand for them to be able to store them away in a corner...but have yet to add a the rods and springs for foot actuation looking at yours I like the quick release pins at the handle part will be using that thanks for sharing.

Good video Roger. That should help some folks.

Sad to see the original Lancaster's having this type of problem. I expect it from the cheap Chinese knock-offs.

It’s not cool having to fix something you just bought. It’s seems to happen more and more nowadays. Nice fix. Enjoy the new tool👍

What a strange design. Seems like a simple linkage would have been better. Who knows. Excellent fix though.

Good tip. Haven't broken mine out of the box yet. Good to know. 👍

nice fix, i have a set of those, mine are ok
