    Default Dent Pullers

    Does anyone know where you can buy a dent puller for pulling out small dents . I'm after the ones that use an adhesive to glue the puller to the dent .
    They have them in the USA for about $50.00 but cant seem to find any over here.

    depending on the size of the dent, you can use your windscreen mount from a GPS.
    the suction cup is more than strong enough.
    the glue ones you have seen are just glue from a hot glue gun - nothing more, nothing less.
    some try and claim its special glue but it isnt.
    you can buy your own hot glue gun and glue sticks and then use a slide hammer or something similar as the puller - im sure you can think of something to glue on like the "pro" pullers have.
    another option is the "pops a dent" system - look it up (ebay/google etc) and make it yourself but make the back bone out of metal (square is more rigid) as the plastic will flex and not work properly.

    Thanks for the tip . I reckon i could make something up as i already have a hot melt glue gun and some square tubing . All i need is something that will remove the hotmelt from the panel without damaging the paint

    just roll it back with your finger or use some rubbing alcohol.
    check out youtube for hot melt glue dent pullers - youll get some good pro tips from there.

    done your homework - well done.
    take care when using it as the 2 outer suction cups can also push in the metal while the middle cup pulls the dent.
    slow and steady and only do a couple of degree turns at a time (1-2 hours if you think of the twist motion as a clock).
    you shouldnt need the knock down tool either but at least they included it.
    you can make your own out of some Delrin or a plastic chopping board if you dont have any Delrin.
