i beleive it costs about $20-25 to have it shipped there, have it pinched, and then sent back, its well worth it because they know how to do it right, i have seen a few of those little do it yourself pinchers on ebay but its been a while, let a pro do it

Status: offline 		If you mean you like to buy a sleeve pincher then I'd tell you to not do it unless you buy the real deal, that's a several 100 $$$ deal and that stuff is good.
If you're thinging of getting one of the clamps for $20 then don't. I got one just to see how bad it was and it was REALLY BAD. There is no way to control the roundness of the liner.

Basically it's pure crap. Send it to someone who uses the right tools instead and don't mess with the cheap clamps.
