I don't have a regular need for one and can't see spending the $$$ just to use a shrinker-stretcher for a few weeks. The cheapest I've seen was about $170 for one tool with both the streching and shrinking jaws. Of course, you have to stop working to change the jaws. I can't work like that. I'm too easily distracted and loose concentration.

Is there an alternative that isn't so pricy? Maybe a home-brew solution?

For reference, this is the tool that I'm talking about.
