It seems that Harbor Freight is having supply issues.
If you have one that is not needed any more please drop me an email.

Steve if you do not any, you can use hand forming duct tools. Look on Tbay.

Steve, try an art supply store such as Dick Blick, or Jerry's Artarama, there are more also Amazon. Look for canvas stretching tools. Hope this helps.

That tool may do what you want, but really, it's an upholstery material stretcher.

Here's one: https://www.amazon.com/US-Art-Supply-Ca ... 526&sr=8-7


Here's a much nicer one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PSKPDMC/re ... NrPXRydWU=
