If I could not buy a used tool I would buy a new tool; use it and after I was sure I would not need it again sell it on Ebay and recover most of the money. The other option is rent out the tool or earn some money replacing the chains on other peoples cars.

I found it more difficult too get the side plate on over the pins than to actually peen the pin. I had a helper hold the body dolly.
