Glad it was helpful! 👍

[@PhillipHall01]

I wonder how many folks, after watching this video, have been successful in building this project? We, my Son and I, really enjoyed the video and putting this project together. My son used this for his school science project and won 3rd place. But to be fair, he was not privileged in demonstrating the spotter in use. It was graded virtually and demonstration was not privileged by the judges. How unfortunate. I really believe if he were allowed to demonstrate this either in person or virtually, he would have won the state! Thank you once again, not only for this video but all your videos...... Phillip Hall

[@fix206]

Oh wow Philip, that's totally awesome!!! I do feel honored that you guys used my video as an inspiration for the project... All of this virtual schooling is crap, got two of my kids doing it that way... Third place is still good, obviously not as good as second or first... I know there've been quite a few people that reached out to me thanking for giving them the idea, they were also successful in making their spotters.

[@PhillipHall01]

It is an honor for us to have learned from you and your teaching. He was disappointed they did not ask questions but only looked at his pictures and paper work on his backboard via computer. He knew his stuff and was chomping at the bits for an interview along giving a demonstration. The spotter is awesome! A winner from every angle, anyway you look at it! Thanks so much....

[@fix206]

It's a bummer that the kid couldn't show his project off to it's full potential... Maybe I'll think of something else to make and film, something that's cool enough to be used for a science project next year?

[@FPV_LAB]

3rd place??? Has to be rigged. Likely 1st and 2nd were some "environmental" nonsense rather than a useful tool.

[@laceyforrest5799]

i am an electrician and i used to be an auto mechanic. I also build some tools for myself and your spot tool is incredible! Such a great idea, im building one as soon as i find an old transformer or two or three. Great videos dude! Keep making videos, you are doing such great things! Thank you.

[@reedrobb]

Thanks for this detailed video. I am building one to repair the damaged roof on my Silverado. I'm still building it but here are a few notes/ things I did differently. 1. I purchased a Rigid tool box to house all the components, the wire and the pieces to my welder handle. It will weight 50lbs+. It has a tray in the upper section for all the misc bits. 2. I purchased the PULLER ATTACHMENT in his list of items. It's well built, excludes instructions and seems like the right tool to use. 3. Not ALL micro transformers are SHAPED the same. Be sure to get 3 that are physically close to the same. A 4th one I picked up was turned 90 degrees and would have made the assembly tricky. Getting FREE microwaves is easy but takes some work, be sure to DISCHARGE the capacitor, it will kill you!. 5. Get the 25' wire, you will use approx 6 feet in the loop around the transformers. I started in the middle with attempts to equalize the wire ends. This is 2 Ought (2/0) wire, NOT 2AWG, don't get it confused. I bought the one he recommends on Amazon in RED. Have a can of silicone spray handy when pulling the wire. It's quite the workout. 6. I bought heavy duty C-Clamps at Harbor Freight to make the adjusters on the bridge. I cut off the C section and will just use the adjusters and feet. I haven't finished it yet but I like the T handle ends, seems like to would work better than having a wrench to turn a nut. 3 clamps would allow me to adjust all 3 sides, with the center being the most important. I'll extend the 2 ends with some rod as the clamp threads are too short this way. The swivel clamp feet also allow for adjustment feet against the body. Use some rubber pads on the 2 ends if you're worried about scratching paint or need traction. 7. I found a magnetic ground clamp on Amazon. It allows the ground point to stick magnetically, but it may still weld itself to the metal, I'll find out. Good luck building this. Will be a life saver for me. I'll report back when I have used it. Thanks again Fix206!

[@fix206]

There's always more than one way to go about just about anything. It's good that you're building this thing to suit your own needs in the way that you see fit. Because basically that's what I did when I built my tool. Let me know once everything is up and running 👍

[@phatteus]

That is amazing! There is a Tacoma in my side yard wrecked from a gentle roll over onto its side. I wasn't going to fix the dents because it needs a spotter to do it correctly. But now, absolutely I am going to fix that thing!

[@fix206]

There is literally no better tool for the job... Now you know what to do 👍

[@BrucePierson]

Very interesting step by step instructional video. This is certainly a massive upgrade from your first prototype. Hope you have better weather over there now that it's coming into spring. Fall just started here in Australia and we finally had some really good rain here in our area after the worst drought we've experienced in the 27 years that we've lived here. The bushfires are also finished and people can start rebuilding. Looking forward to your next project and it looks like your new dent puller will be well used with it.

[@fix206]

Bruce, I'm glad that all is well now in your home country... Hopefully it will rain a lot, I'm sure the dried out and burned out vegetation can benefit much from the rain. I'll try to post more often here, hopefully my next vid will come out in just a few days... Cheers !!

Going from a stud gun to a spotter is like going from horse and buggy to a sports car. And I'm not even exaggerating my statement :-)

[@ezramel]

excellent video Mr, Fix206 , this works for sure and works like a pro. the only thing its missing is the fan that pro machines have , I think the microwave fan can be added for shrinking to keep the transformers cooler .

[@fix206]

I've actually done testing sometime ago to figure out whether the fan is needed or not, and after some work under heavy load the transformers got just slightly warm to the touch, that's why I figured that I probably wouldn't need a fan in there. I suppose if you had a really big project that you were working on where you had to spend about an hour working on a panel nonstop, then you would probably benefit from adding a fan to the set up.

I hope all your life's dreams come true! God Bless You and Your Family. Sincerely,. Phillip Hall. PS, I do have another question. Being that some cars are now being built of some aluminum parts, will this also work on aluminum panels?

[@PhillipHall01]

I have a tip for you, if you do not already know about it. (Bondo Shaping Perfection With The Blade) youtube Exactline Tools *susyqueasy*

[@fix206]

I'm glad you liked the video... I know that there are spotters that can work with aluminum, the process is similar, but there are some differences. It's actually something that I've briefly looked into some time ago because I was curious myself. As I do more research later on I may do an updated video on whatever modifications I would have to do in order to make my tool be compatible with aluminum.

[@PhillipHall01]

I would like to give you an update. I have my three transformers and all else is on order! I am very excited. I want to ask your thoughts. Hypothetically, let's say you or I had a 55 chevy to work on, being the metal is much thicker on such an older vehicle, would it be good to add another transformer for thicker metal? Four transformers or perhaps even five? I realize this is reaching but I think it is an interesting question? lol. Thank you again. Phillip Hall

Wow I think this is the best video of how to build a dent puller on KZbin. I have started mine today but I’ll be using only 2 transformers since we have 220v here in Italy instead of 110v. I was wondering if you are willing to share a simple wiring diagram that I can follow , I think it would make this diy project tutorial 200% complete🤣🤣🤣

I knew I missed something, should have included the wiring digram but I forgot :( I'll go ahead and draw one up later on today and will post a link to it in the video description 👍

​@@fix206 Many thanks for your response. I saw it later. I tested it with 2 transformers, but I used the wrong electronics. We have 230 volts in Germany. Best Regards

[@briancorrigan5350]

Thanks for the follow up on your build. I was thinking the whole time with your first version that a trigger switch to a relay on the 120v ac side would be great. You did it one better with the timer relay. Very nice. I think you forgot to list the relay for the AC line voltage. You also included a circuit breaker that I didn't see in the build. Still a good idea for safety. I don't know the amperage draw on all three transformers. Another option you could try is replacing the potentiometer on the timing relay board with wires to a rotary potentiometer mounted through the tool box. That way you could have an easily accessible dial to adjust the spotter timing. And the switched relay is 3 to 32 volts dc on the trigger side and 120 Volts/ 40 Amps on the load side. You used a CRYDOM solid State Relay model D1240 The "D" I think denotes DC on the trigger side, the "12" refers to 120 Volts Ac, and the "40" refers to 40 amps. So D1240

[@fix206]

[@JoelSwenson-j5w]

I love this project to the point that I am now building mine, but have a question: I'm powering up the transformers and each one pulls 10-11 amps! How can 3 transformers wired in parallel work on a 120v 20amp circuit? Have you measured the current draw on yours? My transformers look just like yours and would assume they'd be roughly the same current draw.

[@fix206]

I did not measure the current draw. But I can attest to the fact that everything just works the way to set up

Fantastic brother I'm going to build one Thank you for your time to share

[@fix206]

let me know how it turns out !!

[@patrickpolson4858]

I ordered the 12v timer relay from the link in the description. With the CK connection I got a delayed turn ON, then continuous power. I had to use the CB connection to get the delayed OFF that Fix206 used for this project. I hooked it to a 12v computer fan to test the delay, as I did not have a 12v led to use. Also, the timer has a light that tells when power is applied and one that lights when it energizes the relay. On another note, does it matter which wire of the power cord goes where? The black "hot" wire should go to the breaker and the white "common" connect to the red wires in his diagram? Or does it matter because it is AC current? Anyone grounding the green wire, and if so, where?

[@ezramel]

very nice built only i can say that most welding machines have a fan to keep the transformers cool , with a larger box you can add this fan to help with that ,

[@fix206]

I suppose if you wanted to, you could add a fan, however I don't really see a need in it, because when you're welding something with a welder you could be running a continuous bead for a couple of minutes. In that time the transformer will start heating up and if the fan is running in that instance it would certainly help with cooling. But when I'm using the spotter, the pulse duration is just about half of a second long. And this is something that I've tested in the past where I worked an entire panel and then touched the transformers right after to see if they were warming up and they were still cold. So in my opinion the use of fan with this set up would be an overkill.

1) Does it matter the wattage of the microwave? Should they all be similar sizes? 2) The shrinking tool you used didn't seem to visually do anything 3) Can this be modified to be a spot - welder?

[@fix206]

The wattage of the microwaves doesn't really matter, you can mix different output transformers without any negative effects. The tip of the shrinking tip gets dime size area of the metal that i'm working with red hot, and heat shrinks metal. So you're basically getting the same effect as using a torch to get metal hot enough to where it shrinks. So in turn this tool turned into a Multi tool. Generally a spot welder doesn't require the power of two or three transformers but just one. So all you have to do to turn this into a spot welder would be just to cut power to one or two transformers.

hello sir, i like your project👍👌 . in india we have 230v AC supply. so if i use transformer that work on 230v is there any problem?

How do I get the spotter puller thats in the video? Also, can i just use my wire welder as the power source for the spotter?

[@fix206]

As far as using the welder as a power source for a spotter, I'm not too sure about that just yet. I will be doing a video on that exact topic in a near future. I already have a donor welder that is ready to be converted. But I won't know how well that would work until I actually get it done. I'm going to have spotter pullers available for sale in a near future. Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks for the sub brother!

[@turboimport95]

Man that spotter works a little to good...

[@fix206]

It sure does, later on I'll have some videos where I will be improving that thing even more, once I'm done with it, it will be an ultimateIt tool for sheet-metal work !

[@adrianwhitworth2183]

Would you be able to adapt it to connect directly to a welding transformer and eliminate the need for the microwave coils?

[@fix206]

As of right now I don't know... However, i recently acquired an old arc welder that I will be converting into a spotter just to see if it's possible. And of course I will be filming and then posting my findings, so stay tuned for that video

[@adrianwhitworth2183]

@@fix206Thanks for your reply, great info. I hope you come up with a solution soon because I will running out of summer weather UK England. However in the mean time I will start to look for some scrap microwaves.

Welcome back man!! Amazing video, very thorough. I went through the parts list in vid description, only thing i wanted wasnt there. Lol🤣 I just want to know the exact parts used for the ground lead. I like how you did that with brass parts!

I'll add the links to brass fittings in the description sometime tomorrow

[@splash5974]

@@fix206 thanks so much!!

[@adrianwhitworth2183]

Are there any specific characteristics when looking for donor microwaves-for example wattage or other factors, and to clarify I would require three microwave ovens to to aquire the coils?

[@fix206]

Any microwave transformer should work just fine. Microwaves come with just one transformer so you would need to source three microwaves.

Ого, мне реально не верится что ты вышел на мой канал и даже прокомментировал. Я можно сказать фанат твоего канала, смотрю тебя уже года три, очень многому у тебя научился включая и как сделать споттер... Реально год назад ты мне даже приснился, помню что во сне был я на Украине где-то проезжал мимо гаражей и в одном из гаражей увидел тебя. Ты как обычно был весь в делах, я заглянул к тебе, поздоровался, ты по-быстрому ответил и продолжил работать. Я не стал тебя больше отвлекать, но все же было приятно :) У тебя отличный контент, так держать ! Большое спасибо за коммент !!!

[@husseinthedesigner]

hello how can i know how much ampere it draws becuase in sweden it can only draw 10 ampere? im gratefulk for answer

[@husseinthedesigner]

And its 220v here

[@fix206]

You should be OK, here are in the US everything is 110V so if the voltage is lower the amperage draw will be higher, but if you are on 220V then your amperage draw will be less.

I can't get the timed side (for shrinking) of the toggle switch to activate the transformers.

[@fix206]

I'm not sure what the issue is, maybe try using another timer relay?
