There are lots of ways to smooth out a dent. But in the case of our Chevy Caprice, we will be using a stud gun and a slide hammer to undo the damage.

Opposite of stone working
and that's how I removed a fist sized dent from the back of my 54 Chevy Truck cab.
Hi fixed the dint with pens?
Serious question. I have been looking for a shop that works like this. Everyone I find just replaces panels.
What type of shop pulls dents? What am I looking for in my shop search??
I have a 2011 jeep grand cherokee with a front fender dent on a body line. All shops quote to replace the fender. I'd like to have it pulled.
2400$ for a dent feels extreme!
Then it starts the rust from the inside.
Grind them off, make a bunch of heat, apply filler. Skip the middle man and start with filler. If it’s less than a 1/4”, you’re good to go!!
What’s stupid is the gun manufacturers designed the pins to be one time use. Should have made the pins so they could be used a couple time before needing a new one.
We have used stud pin guns like that for installing high temperature refractory in oil process furnaces. The difference is the pins in refractory are monel or other high temperature alloy.
This is what tool was used before they started making cars out of plastic.
Are those pins copper? What about differential metal corrosion?
Good job but being I do this daily you held the button way too long about half of that so you dont pull holes
My dad would have killed for that tool the days of screws and dent pullers are gone. be curious if it needed a hammer and dolly
Dang, I need that, Thang. I have some dents in my car around the door where people tried to break into my car.
Half a second is enough time for pin to set…easy removal with slight twist when done right, simple!
Don't clip them off just twist at the base and save on grinding and risk putting unnecessary heat into the panel
Holding that trigger a little too long, just a second is plenty
You're using the tool wrong, pull the trigger for a millisecond, the pins then break off clean after pulling, some might come off as you pull, just fit another. Heating the panel is bad for it not only do you burn off coatings inside but you heat treat the panel when welding and grinding, it's also a massive waste if time doing it like you did.
Why is the cinematography for this Dent pulling video so good
