[Shop-talk] Dent puller

[Ronnie Day]

It is very cool and remember researching it the first time Ed used it. Got
the name (which I no longer remember) off of the unit and plugged it into
Google. I seem to recall it was a UK/European company and it was way too
rich for my pocket book. It's basically a fancy stud gun that tack welds
the tabs with the slots along a crease in a body panel you want to pull.
Then a rod is inserted in the slots and the crease pulled out.

I remember stud guns starting to show up on the Spike/Powerblock shows two
or three years ago. These tack a short piece of rod where you want to pull
out a panel. You then use the slide hammer that comes with the kit to pull
the crease out I think prices start at around $300 or so from Eastwood. Not
as elegant as the setup on Wheelers Dealers, but much more affordable for
hobbyists.

FWIW,
Ron
