Harbor Freight Pneumatic Dent Puller Test - MK5 R32

[@ralexis12]

As a collision repair tech.. the rule of thumb is to always recreate the angle of the impact that caused the damage.. and reverse that process to fix it .. check all your gaps and make sure that panel didn't move .. another words focus on the entire panel and not just the dent..

[@jakeqwaninne8502]

in other words, don't put the suction cup dead center of the dent, try outer edges of the main crater, and use the smaller cups to focus that vaccuum pressure, the real trick is the strip between the window and that upper body line, use a dead blow or less than lethal hammer to push that top dent out and down, or get behind that pannel and try to push it out, then pull out the rear body pannel ,most of the dent will probably go away if that is where it's suposed to be, the quarter pannel is squished , so streach it back out horizontally, put a big assed chain around the bumper reinforcement and drive forward carefully or you'll rip that body pannel rite off, then work the rest of that dentgood luck my friend

As a panel beater I always teach people you work from the most raised bit of metal, half the time you just have to tap down the crown and the metal will just pop back into place

Add some heat man, small hand held torch like used for camping/cooking. Hold about 4-6 inches away and heat until hot but not scolding to touch. Add suction cup to the deepest part of the crown, or top of the dent, and one good pull at 110 PSI should do the trick.

[@craigbennie1]

Try heating the dent with hair dryer before the pull.

[@mikeyshoemagoo0384]

Definitely helps if you know what you're doing that thing has a handle to pull on it also and the slide hammer most of those dents you can looks like you can pull right out don't even use the side hammer was that comment in the last video correct

[@sreed_]

Can only pull as hard as the suction cup will suction

[@neftyortiz2390]

I’m looking for dent pullers myself thanks for trying out the product .

[@BADD400]

I have seen from auto Body KZbinrs and the see heat Area first. I have not your other videos. Just so know for something else in the future could use that pull. Good video

[@jasondickerson4646]

Just an FYI, and this is only based off of the one attempt to pull the dentthat you showed in your vid, you attached the rubber cup in the total wrong area to effectively pull out the dent, which is most likely also the same reason it couldn't stay attached and didn't feel like it had enough suction.

[@chrisl3140]

should he have centered the puller more in the dent?

[@mmbnyc2003]

Agreed. Would havd liked to see the attempt, 30 min on time lapse just to see how far it took the metal and if he hit the right points. I woulnt have thought this tool would be useful at all, but it did much better than I expected it would from the first few seconds, meaning it actually pulled the metal to some extent.

[@quantumz5934]

That dent can be pushed out from the inside.... remove door panel

[@LygerTheCLaw]

can't pull a dent when the frame is holding the dent in place. not the best car to do a test on, that thing is gonna require a lot more than a dent puller.

[@kc4x4nut]

Requires frane pull

Never going to pull that out with that BIG crown advice the dent. Need to work on that first IMO

[@davidtzeng475]

Nice try. Dent has work hardened areas that need to be tapped down during the pulling process. Feel around the dent by pushing inward. The work hardened areas will be difficult to push in. Set your tool within a couple of inches of the work hardened areas and have a helper tap down on those areas while you pull. Be careful when using a heat gun. Many cars now have structural and sound deadening foam inside the sheet metal. The foam is very flammable and will smolder for hours before catching on fire. If you will not be removing the interior trim, do not use heat. Better safe than sorry.

[@ricksteelcustoms3196]

You're definitely an "UM" guy. I didn't start counting until after noticing it but once I did I counted a total of 26 "UM''s" You should work on that. Also I think the pullers work better if the panel is sprayed with water first, for better adhesion. It is a total waste of time trying to pull a quarter panel dent without FIRST pulling the dent that caused the quarter panel dent. Check out my Yukon Denali And Camaro crash rebuild video I think it will help you out.

[@sreed_]

Sorry about that

[@ricksteelcustoms3196]

@@sreed_ No big deal, most people do not even realize they are doing it. Filler words are all too common. Filler words are words such as "um," "ah," "hmm," "like," "you know," and "alright" that are used to give the speaker time to think, express uncertainty or make something awkward feel less awkward, or as a verbal tick. Filler words are also known as vocal disfluencies or hesitations. I am certain now that you're aware of it you will become a much better speaker. Thanks for not getting offended, as that was not my intent. Best of luck.

[@padraigquirke3325]

Name this tool please

[@iancowan3527]

Ok, I can't say because of so many cuts-ins, where your video jumps... but I didn't notice any area prep works... basic cleaning of the surface area does wonders! And both a step and a general suggestion - find yourself a pair of Shop Gloves... Mainly to prevent transferring the oil from your skin as you work, but protecting your hands when you're banging things isn't a bad idea!

[@FrankyNunya]

Needed to put hot water on the dent first

[@sreed_]

👍

[@lodollar23]

Nice video! From the looks of it I believe she was rear ended. Remove that plastic bumper and do an inspection. If it has been hit in the rear you'll have to tackle that to stretch it back first before you can do side panel work.

[@-jovoc]

Should have heated a little, spray some water for better suction and put suction cup in middle of dent.

[@flyingfishflftyfifty]

Too much talking. Just get to point on how it works. If it did or didn’t.

Sorry

My bad

[@jimmysanchez5702]

You got to use HEAT on your Dent Bro . A blow dryer or a heat gun make a big Difference

[@sreed_]

We tried that too I think this dent was a bit too far gone due to the rear end being pushed in

[@brandonsanders2151]

Of course it didn’t pull the dent because you haven’t pulled the actual damage yet 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wrong spots

[@thehobbyguy]

It really bugs me when people like your self buy tools for a specific job and do not have the faintest idea of what to do.. not even an idea of placement in order to get a proper pull on the debt.. do us tradmen a favour and just leave the jobs to us professionals.. sorry but that's just how I feel.. it's was painful to watch

[@sreed_]

Damn that’s crazy
