Been pulling out a dent for an hour with these on the rear door of my Peugeot 306 Gti6. The small one proved totally useless as it comes off too easily. The large one however was good and I was even able to pull across the curved surface of the panel without it coming off. End result, after one hour of extremely hard work was marginal improvement and both hands blistered.
The dents with creases, you’ll have to work with the surface. You can still use suction cups, but you’ll have to “play with the dent” a little..you won’t be able to pull it out directly from the center, so pulling it from the upper edges of the creases & working them out will usually make the dent “less visible” but it may still be there slightly.
I can't get the cup to stick at all I bought the 4 in. aluminum body suction cup the rubber seems to be to ridged ,idk, I've tried wetting the cup and nothing ,what am I not doing right ?
I just bought the small one and initially not much success dry. I just tried it again with glass cleaner and if you keep working it back and forth it creates a tremendous amount of suction. Enough to rock my full size GMC side to side. Even when I released it, it still had suction.
@@seifyboy2832 no unless you dent is deeper like mines on my Challenger right side quarter panel. You will need to boil the water to a certain degree and pour it on the area that you see the large dent and use a special the design suction cup tools to pull it out. It's a repetitive process, but it's certainly worth spending above a grand to a repairman
they work but you have to prepare the metal first; heat the metal where the ding is with hot water; or hairdryer then put the dent puller on area; then pull - try this way - the dent puller needs help first ie: heating metal to make it flexible etc
If you were to incorporate some peripheral light tapping with a small, soft hammer simultaneously on the crests while your were pulling I think you'd have measurably greater results. This would enable the puller's mechanical advantage to facilitate easier molecular relaxation of the stressed edges. Fun watch though. Thank you.
If you have a small dent with a slight crease, after cleaning and heating up, I think using a rubber hammer, high frequency tapping on the highest spot of the crease, as you are pulling a small suck cup together might give a better results on the dent..
Put it in a cup of boiling water for 10 mins soften up, then clean and dry surfaces,then you're good, you can use a toilet plunger if you soften it up, I've been using a toilet plunger since the 70s
Thank you for this because I did not know how to use it i was stomped as to how to get it to grip then I watched your video to see that the thing opens and once the latch closes its gripped, my dent is gone, I appreciate your video
If the metal is deformed enough that a "crown" (high ridge or high spot) is formed, you need to work the crown down before you try to pull the dent... Remember... You're trying to remove the dent in the reverse order when it was created only slower step by step...
the one i bought suggests getting the the surface at least damp because it can make a difference in the suction, you just can't have it too wet, which he does do that in one of his examples.
I've found that, if accessible, go from the inside of the dented area with a child's small football. Place it against a firm surface (such as a 2x4) to press against and slowly inflate the ball. The dent will easily resume original position. Relocate ball as needed to get other parts of the dent out. Go slow! You don't want to stretch the metal beyond original position. J. P. Stockton Ca.
Ya" Nathan, it dose work. But the the other system which uses glue sticks and a plastic attachment and a puller. That method dose work well for smaller dents. And it's easy to use, but the clean up if a little tricky..BMW OWNER.
Very informative video. Just bought both of these in hopes to remove a freshly made dent in left quarter panel. Ugh. Thanks for your time. Appreciate you.

They work pretty well but a dent pulling set with glue is still better by far. It is time consuming as hell but it works. I wouldn't use suction cups for creased dents though.
Very Bad idea to use Windex on car's paint surfaces ! Amonia acid in Windex will strip out all protective wax and clear coat polish.Use hot water instead !!
I would leave the dent if it’s not impacting the doors. I have a dent on the back of my front fender next to the door, and is preventing the door from opening fully. So that will need to be pulled.
i have a huge ass dent on my quarter panel, i don’t know how deep it is, but it was deep enough to take off a chip of paint. do you think this would work on it?
I have a big round big dent in my side door from kids that slammed there moms truck door into mine at the store and then left so it’s on me now I have a Toyota Corolla it’s back and the dent shows well it’s a deep dent but the size of this machine do I think id get it out with this ?
I find the mini suction cup is useless and could suck any dent out cause it won’t stick properly to pull it out. Oh well off to panel beater I go😞thought I’d save a few hundred bucks but it didn’t work for me. Feel like I’ve been scammed.
Hello Nathan. I have a bmw e46 325ci -03 My problem is that it is hard to start when its warm It usually starts but it takes a few tries. When its cold it usually starts on the first try but it takes sometime for it to start right up the engine is "coughing" but it does almost always start. The engine also feels "wobbly" when i accelerate like the engine is hesitating. It certainly doesnt feel like the 191hp its supposed to have It also has very pour mileage about 1.7 mpg Do you know what the problem might be appreciate all help!
@@Mrmboneee2 I got mine to work it was the type of soap you spray on it my truck is steel I used that stuff call green window cleaner worked great it's a clear color just named green
Open automobile cosmetic repair shop, dent size of golf ball 2 repair??? That'd be 899.99 and about 3 days for labor and parts. Takes car keys puts car in back >_> (suck) POP!
