Default Tire Rack Fender Lip Rolling Tool

I've been wanting to get my fenders rolled but since this tool is pretty affordable, it probably costs a little more than having someone doing it for you, do you think it's worth doing it on my own? Are they easy to use, it looks simple enough? Plus I'm sure I can sell it easily after I use it.

And what happens to the fender liners with an easy fender roll, not flat. Do they have to be trimmed, do they just push up with the fender without buckling/popping out of place? I know you have to use a heat gun on the paint.

Or should I just let an experienced roller do it?

It isn't easy the first time. Take your time read my tips thread. You new a good heat gun as well. Someone that knows what they are doing can do it faster and there is less chance of an issue but I cannot stress enough there is always the chance of issues with your paint now matter how experienced they are.

Is there any difference between this one and the eastwood fender roller? They look identical and the EW model is on sale for $40 less right now.

It looks to be the same tool but the tire rack one had a tire rack sticker.
