Sweet vid. My buddy popped a door dent out on a Ranger back in high school with a toilet plunger!

I used one of those and I found out having someone pour boiling water as you pull seems to help just got to be careful not to get burned.

Warming up the metal before pulling will help to pull out the dent a little easier. My car was in the warm sun and once hot it worked on the first try.

I've got a suction cup slide hammer dent puller that is used with compressor air to create suction. Works good. I pulled a similar dent out on a pickup bed the other day.

Definitely worth keeping for the right application!! Even pick up another one to help with windshields and back windows!!☺

I tried a cheap suction cup set to pull a ding off of my Tacoma. I dont have a pogo stick and I didnt dare tap with a hammer. I got some of it out.

Another well produced video Jerry. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

As someone already mentioned using hot glue can work well when the rubber on the suction cup breaks up I keep the handle and glue it to the dent and pull.... Have a great weekend man always enjoy watching you!

I just used one on two different cars. No heat or jack chain needed. Dents came out on the first pull on each car. It works.

@ 0:30 What if to put a bit of Hot Glue on that suction cup? I was looking for applications of a Suction Cup with that glue (or Cold Glue), but didn't see anything, though I saw before a film, where someone used a 2x4 wood pieces, attaching them w/hot glue to the huge dent. I would appreciate any opinion on this matter. Thank you for a great film.

[THX..]

I used one for a big oilcan dent once, but with thing popping off I came close to hurting myself. So not sure when/if I'll use it again.

Looks like it has a place in the shop. Probably wouldn’t work with any sharp creases though. 👍

Very helpful. I hit my sisters mail box and it pull a half foot dent in my door no damaged paint so I think this will work

I've noticed you have a different guitar riff in all your videos, are you a fellow guitarist?

[DERDM]

would the small suction dent puller work for hail dents?

Me and my bro have this suction dent repair tool one time since its cheaper but I know metal panels are hard to pull with this stuff and used to pull only on FRP parts like modern bumper covers. The situation is we have to pull a dent located lower quarter panel. Then have this tool placed and ready fir pulling. Im crouching into the ground and I cant pull that much so I ask him my help. We cling both hardest we could but this thing pops and we tripped on our backs landing like 2 collapsed wooden planks. Its embarassing maybe it will need some work.
