I unbox an $89 Amazon PDR kit and see if I can fix some hail dents in my hood. This is my first time trying anything like this and it is an attempt to see if the average person on the street can save some money using one of these kits. I attack 3 dents with mixed results!

One dent will most likely start around $100
I do PDR. 25 yrs experience. Hail estimates are based on your insurance co. guidelines. I’m actually here for the hp tuner vids. We don’t glue pull every dent on a car. Only on places we can’t get access for a rod. Like roof rails and tops of some doors. Sometimes It’s better to hire a professional, like yourself, than take the cheap route. I’m thinking you spent close to what a pro could have fixed it for. FYI you need two lights or a reflection board to ‘cross’ a dent to fix it. Im all about DIY But it’s important to know what glue to use, it’s pull strength and the size of the glue tab. A real pdr guy could’ve done that vehicle in 2 hours top. I’ll teach you pdr and you teach me HP tuners lol!
I like you and your video, thanks. On my kit the rubber tap down extensions that you screwed into the tap down all screw into the tap down hammer itself! They sell kits for 16-35 bucks that contain enough to get started for the folks read this. I found this kit that I think is the best starter kit if you have a couple cars that need work: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PVY4YQJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 For that many dents on a hood I'd get a junk yard hood or order a new skin and have a body shop paint it unless you got nothing better to do for like 2 days, lol. These kits are great for a couple of grocery store digs a few hail spots etc. It seems like the best method for most dents is to get underneath it with the push out rods, the glue is time consuming.
Why would you throw the bridge puller in the garbage? Is it not good? Asking as I am going to buy a kit which has the bridge puller, glue gun/sticks, hammer tap downs for £16 and then I am going to buy a slide hammer separately with plastic tabs for £10.99 totaling £27. Whereas if I bought the kit which has the mini lifter, the kit alone costs £27 then buy the slide hammer separately at £10.99 totaling £38……..
thats the right question.. why cant I do it myself? there is nothing you can not do if you truly apply yourself : ) practice practice practice.. EX: you may not be as good as a pro basketball player BUT if you dedicate yourself, you will become much better.. when you first tied your shoes, it took a long time and was sloppy. but now you can do it in less than 1 sec AND you can even teach someone how to … thanks for the share!
