I got a generic stud-welder setup from Harbor Freight a few years ago, for
$99 or so, and it has been very useful. It seems like 80% of the dents I
have needed to fix were in places where there was no access to the back of
the panel, or the back was covered with undercoating, or I would have had
to remove an interior panel for access. In situations like this, the stud
welder is very quick and easy to use.
