PDR tool Questions flood my inbox daily. So much so that I've decided to make a complete PDR Tool Guide. This is the first of MANY that I'm going to put together from This one, and absolute beginner guide, all the way to advanced Tool necessities.
www.RealWorldPDR.com will have the rest of these tutorials, all about what PDR tools you should buy to advance your Journey.
Speaking of Journey, I know I misspelled that word in the last video, and im sooooooorrry half the time I'm about 4 Drinks in before I start adding the titles to these things. like right now!

Valuable information and Straight forward. Everything stated, I agree 100 with Jim! Great video

[@johnintelisano887]

Very good advice Jim ! I always enjoy your videos 👍

[@jefftuzinowski8136]

Awesome info. I signed up for RWPDR last weekend. What a wealth of information! Best $65 a month I've ever spent, a bargain at twice the price. Can't wait for the one on one seminars at your shop!

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Awesome! We are getting it pulled together slowly but surely!

[@marktaylor6952]

Groovy starter kit learned stuff I didn't know!!

Jim. Very true video. What’s it matter if you have all the cool tools and you can’t even push all types of dents. Thanks Jim

[@drusantana]

Thank you so much for your video, I emailed you that I wanted to start your course . I had asked what tools to buy ...this answers it all I'm gonna buy these things right away

Sound advice for sure... Repetitions are the most important “tools” in the beginning 😉

[@adrienbastarache8096]

I'm new to this PDR ,you gave me a lot of info and guidance,thank you,i subcribed and like .

[@MyGuyKirby]

Nice way to jump start tools for the beginner, plus needs to watch and sign-up for your online training. Need practice panels and with those tools press away.

[@MichaelMashpotato]

Get the blehm flat shaved set. I’ve had mine for 9 years and I use them every single day 🔥

[@thirdgear75]

Thank you Jim.....

[@dentdingking4878]

Super advice!

[@allenwilson6585]

even though this was a free video, I would have liked to see this in the PDR 101 course. Thanks!!

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Thank you so much for the suggestion. That’s an oversight I can’t believe I made

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

It is in the content on Pdr monthly, but it would be better for you guys to get an idea before moving on.

[@MrPeeteboy]

Great video Jim! Try 99% alchohol, it seems exponentially faster

[@66limpala]

Thanks.

[@LightSportMan]

Anyway to please post a link to the rod you showed

[@drusantana]

Hey had a few questions...just finished the 101 course on your website. One of the lessons deals with a slide hammer wich do you recommend I buy? Also when covid 19 blows over will you guys have in person classes or work shops? I'm in NY but I'll travel for a chance to learn hands on. Last question can glue tabs be reused?

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Just got your email! Sorry I didn’t see it before I’ll respond to that tomorrow AM. If not hit me up again!

[@gergemall]

Wow, you can never have too many tools.

[@howardtoob]

Damn great video and a voice that's awesome, I ain't no gay dude but I can hear your voice loud and clear. The content of the video is 100

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Lol thanks Man! Ya know, just like everyone I’ve always hated my voice. It still blows my mind that people like it 🤣. If you watch some of the early content you can tell I was trying to hide my voice lol

[@pak5119]

Hi! Can I finish small dent with just one bullet tip?? Or I need something sharper at the end? I'm learning👍

[@michaelarens2046]

I, actually took a dent out with a shovel handle 😜

[@drusantana]

3 questions about the light recommend appreciate your time thank you comes in 14" or 20" which one would be better also the light come in options from cool white and warm white and a mixture of both Last question about light I promise lol how many strips 3 ,4 , 5 ,9 ? I'm so confused

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Hahaha don’t stress revolutionpdrtools.com I’ve got my favorites on there. Get what you budget allows. I prefer cool middles warm outsides

[@drusantana]

@@RealWorldPDRTraining thank for the reply! 🙂 I'll check it out

[@atm-n4187]

Hi, l am interested in training, where to start?

[@XFBO]

Any chance of confirming the part number of that rod (#4), the one on their website looks a LOT sharper of a point.

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Very well may be. That was an older tool. I’ll update it if I find out otherwise. Any half inch tool about that long will work.

[@LightSportMan]

I am having the same issue finding the one

[@handyishrandyish334]

I bought my rod from elimadent 1/2 36in length bullet tip at a 45

[@danielpaul8823]

What about a blending hammer.

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

That can be picked up later

[@atlascormac6273]

Slide hammer?

[@kyplummer3657]

It’s so crazy the tools are literally metal rods bent in certain places, yet they charge hundreds of dollars?I think I’m gonna make my own. It’s kind of like a shirt versus a polo shirt you can pay $125 for the polo I guess if you want. (Or some cheesy yeezys Yes I understand these are professional tools so I get it if you’re making tons of money you might as well get something that will last you.

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Lol dude we all used to make our own tools. That’s perfectly ok! Do it

[@kyplummer3657]

@@RealWorldPDRTraining hahaha thanks I’ve been thinking about it for a while I’m glad I found your videos there great!

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

@@kyplummer3657 glad you like. But for real, I keep some handmade tools I made in the beginning of my career around. Don’t use them, but it’s nice to look back and remember. So don’t be shy dig in! We used torsion bars from trunks a lot (back when that was a thing). They aren’t ideal but the freakin work if you’ve got a torch and a grinder.

[@kyplummer3657]

@@RealWorldPDRTraining does the type of metal matter much?

[@kyplummer3657]

Then I read „tools under 1000 dollars“ I am out. 😂

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Should we do a more expensive one?

[@Plumbumas]

@@RealWorldPDRTraining nope mate. Most them you covered are better and cheaper alternatives for pricey products. Better would be see good/high quality tools for less money for starters. I would buy some of them to practice on my cars. And maybe if I will be able to do fix dents properly I would buy other tools.

[@freshpootube]

You could make all these tools by hand, if you were good with tools.
