2010 I went to Brazil to learn to do the Brazilian way and boy they use sticks branches and rebars to bring back in such perfection that's almost magical!

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

True story. Those guys are talented and industrious. For me, I’ll stick with the tools I have, but mad respect to them

[@jlgiesler]

I’m ready to attempt it

Thank you Jim. You have been generous with your time & techniques. This video has been very helpful to me. Much appreciated........Kim

This video just popped up on my feed. Watched it all and think it’s excellent. I think the way you show how it’s done and explain it, is very good indeed.

I can't believe someone could dislike this great video

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Ahhh, people find reasons to hate on things. It’s ok, I’ve got thick skin!

[@Mr1ssalinas]

I'm going to dislike it on the grounds of creating tons of high spots while pushing from behind, I'd say about 80% of those high spots could've been avoided if he had been more careful and PATIENT. He just made a lot more work for himself by creating all those high spots that he had to knock down.

[@garymatthews8296]

YOURE A REALLY GOOD TEACHER. THANKS MAN

[@deathatsix]

Those first two hard to get tools wouldn't be too hard to fabricate for yourself. (If you couldn't Get them.) Can't get it, make it.. Welder and a torch go a long way. Great informative videos. Thank you.

[@johnhanson4795]

i got a lesson in humble pie today a guy brought in a 2018 duramax 1 ton it has hit every gravel road from mn to texas 4 inch lift big tires ect their was so many dents it made me dizzy in just 3 hours i was overwhelmed and hoping for help but it never came another 50 dents left sharp crease ones and huge soft ones all over boxsides fenders doors ect.the 36inch dentcraft doublebend tool has paid for itself running through top holes under boxside pads and bouncing the soft ones out and ultra and anson tools worked but i was blind after work tonight and i had to call my date off cause my body ached im 59 now

[@mokranidetailing5396]

Thanks Jim for what you offer

[@RoostYourFace]

If you were not trying to make a video, how long should a repair like this take a guy with your skill level, and how long do you think it would take a beginner? Thanks, great vid.

[@jonathanrighetti5897]

thanks Jim for doing these videos, great to see

[@VanishingNomad]

And old school metal finishing tip that you can apply: In the beginning, when you are pushing, stop and hole the pressure on, and gently tap on the crown. Dont hit it so hard you deform it, but tap gentile to "Nudge" it into letting go of its stress. Use a "slapper", or your metal hub cap hammer.

Haha once a long time ago you told me something about that

[@Swenser]

Seeing you do the speedup video gave me an idea. Put the hub cap head on a hammer drill and.whack away at high speed. Done in 2 seconds.😮

I’m real interested in knowing what the end cost would’ve come out to for the average customer, I get you did it for a wholesale customer but the reason I ask is because I’m curious to what the cost would’ve been with PDR vs just changing out the panel!!

Thank you very much your video

[@danomaliky5622]

well done

[@MrCbell57]

During the first massaging above crease you mentioned the area below came out on its own. Yet I clearly see marks where your tool also pushed this lower area outward. No big deal, but your comment was that it came out by itself. And as a collision repair tech I understand metal. So yes it would want to release as you massage the crease outward. However the marks left by your tool show a different story. So we’re you just wrong about what you said- or were you misleading your audience. However regardless you are a master at PDR and should continue doing training for beginners. Kudos to you and continued success. Once more however: I don’t know that anyone could actually learn these skills on an online course. Unless they have a clientele of dents coming in to practice on. If I believed it would help me I’d subscribe today as I want to add the PDR to basic body skills to try and speed up or save money on materials thereby earning more per hour. Thank you.

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Well, I’ve got hundreds of techs that would tell you otherwise. It can be learned with guided practice that I have available on Real World. I’m not going to re watch this video to see what exactly you’re talking about, but I assure you I’m not misleading anyone.

I’m new to this so can you explain the science behind banging on the dent to take the dent out? I’m definitely a starter so definitely would like to know.

[@BrandonSalas-us8mm]

Im throughly impressed ive seen quite impressive things in all aspects of the automotive industry but this just fascinated me i got the 89 pc pdr set from vevor for 100-130 what tools would you recommend i add to my pdr tool kit? Being a mechanic this is good to know because well shit happens lol

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

I have a quite a few videos covering basic tools here on KZbin. Even more in depth coverage on everything on www.realworldpdr.com

[@GSPDUKE]

The bulb reflection is a bit much fella. We, from the 60s generation, now have Catarcts.

[@АлексШа-б8д]

Спасибо!!! 😊👍👍👍

[@mohammedrahall3155]

Excellent content! What if you’re unable to access it from the back? Have an identical dent but the back of my fender has a 1 inch hump impeding my access

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

One inch hump? Is it the fender liner?

[@anteup75]

What’s the cost comparison compared to getting a replacement part

[@pravinxp]

Hi, your works are mind blowing. May I know where we can buy these tools and brand name?

[@billsauer3164]

@3:20 that's what he said..

[@Xend7454848]

how much time you spend for repair that fender ? and how much your charge for repair ?

[@ProPDR]

Nice

[@Crocodonkey]

At the finishing stage, how do we differentiate between those tiny lows and highs? How do we recognize them?

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

That’s an excellent question! Learning to read your light Is the first step to answering that. If you find yourself in a situation that you’re confused what you’re looking at, always grab your knockdown and even up what you know is high to start. Id strongly recommend hopping on www.realworldpdr.com I answer everything in depth there. New sign ups also get 100 dollars worth of Anson store credit so it’s risk free and then some!

[@dooo679]

the light reflection makes a bend when it goes over the body line at the repair area. doesn't that indicate theres some locked up tension there that wasn't released?

[@MrPeeteboy]

Hey Jim thanks for yet another awesome video! One question, You said you used to use a Slapper Tapper for this kind of crown before. Is that a Dent Dial or one the red or blue ones from Keco I think? I ask because I'm trying to get a handle on my new Dent Dial Slapper, thanks

[@reymy99]

I have a very similar dent in my car. How much something like this repair will cost me?

[@ray6976]

Does the light matter when doing this?

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Absolutely light placement and how to read your light is the most important thing. An absolute building block. Of course I explain exactly how to use your light at www.realworldpdr.com

[@g.osiris1615]

How long did this repair took please?

[@shazzorama]

Great question, I wonder that, too. Also, how much of the total work is shown, in all, plaback speed notwithstanding. Thanks

[@overlandauto]

Do you have a list of the basic tools a beginner should get? Just so I’m not wasting money on a bunch of Amazon junk trying to learn lol

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

ansonpdr.com/collections/jim-mitchell-beginner-set These don’t have to be bought all at once, but this is a great place to start. Many thanks to www.ansonpdr.com for helping curate and carry this beginner set!

[@bgclarinet]

Instead of going smaller and smaller, could you go larger (like the hubcap tip, or some kind of roller) and sort of "burnish" the texture out?

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

I think with a larger tip, especially like the hubcap you’re going to lose accuracy and also move a lot more metal than you’d like to. But hey, give it a try! Maybe you’ll stumble on something we should all be doing

[@ridgehall1612]

How long does this actually take if I missed it? And how much can you charge for this?

[@EddieLeal]

Wrecked my 2021 Kia Rio S. Front end damage looks worse than it is...in my opinion. 😁 Insurance company still has not been able to get to the car at the tow year. I am not the registered owner, my wife is. She is out of the country and does not return until the end of this month. I did send pics though.

[@jetsetjoey]

How can a content creator not make a technical video in anything less than 1080p?!?

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Are you asking why I’m not shooting editing and posting in 4k? Or 1080?

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Either way. It’s free KZbin content. You get what you get and don’t throw a fit (as my daughters preschool says) 720 shows what needs seen, and speeds up my work flow for free content. There’s plenty of 1080 content in the paid subscription.

[@jonathanchang742]

Did you remove that pressure dent from your thumb on the bottom of the wheel arch at the end of the video?

[@NguyenThanh-wb9wg]

Quá tuyệt vời

[@fredscott7222]

I have a lot of Waves on the right side of my finder dent I tried to tap them out but won't move them I can't affor But I still try to get my car done

[@johnhanson4795]

and whats up with them new silverados you get cleanup close and still if you think its done and if you step back 5 feet away it still looks like not right.i have been rushed lately from boss and thats not good im close and hes like whats taking so long and the 2019s and newer have aluminium rear doors now to front doors metal

[@TCreatorO]

If you were to buy all of the knockdown tips from VIP, you would be spending around $10k 😱

[@kylerjackson5671]

How can I gain leverage from a tool that’s not so bent like that? I’m having issues with that, I have beginner set of tools

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

Make those tools work for you, bend the crap out of it. I do it all the time!

[@paulstanley9950]

I like bringing dents out with these tools then body fill and painting, this is so time consuming

[@fernando651]

this is so cool!! how much can i expect to earn if i get good at this? im in CT

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

I’ve trained a couple of techs from CT, and I can’t speak to exact numbers, but I know one is into six figures for sure.

[@fernando651]

Thanks @@RealWorldPDRTraining I def want to get into a shop and get some time in. Maybe I can order a starter kit and experiment myself. I used to work at a sign shop and may aluminum channel letters so i am familar with bending and shaping metal somwhat. i do enjoy it

[@jonandrew52]

Hi, I have a huge roof dent covering the whole left roof rear quarter. It includes some deep creases at the left roof rail. Can I get by with some basic minimal PDR tools? Thanks.

[@RealWorldPDRTraining]

PDR isn’t something that generally goes well for a DIY guy. I’d recommend finding a good PDR technician in your area. It takes years to learn this skill well enough to even repair moderate damage well. What you describe seems pretty extensive. It’s entirely possible you’ll make the damage worse and unrepairable if you try yourself. Sorry for the bad news, I’m trying to be honest here.

i think fender repairs are overdone i want to see boxside big truck repairs we get them constantly in midwest and tools need to be thin and very strong with a big swoopp to go through boxside top holes under cap i love my shaved reaper rod but it will not turn in the square holes and i have a bunch waiting tuesday no ascess lower sections gravel rock outys ect.we all know a good rod is no good if you dont have the swoop to reach the dent to get power but still thin to go through factory holes its a bitch on side damange
