PDR Tools: Best PDR lights & how to see the dents

Today we will take a look at the PDR tools, more specifically PDR Lights and how to see the dents. If we have never meet my name is Zan and Welcome to my KZbin channel. Make sure you subscribe for more PDR related content.
When people ask me what is the most important thing when learning or doing dent repair I show them a dent and ask them if they see it.
Then I tell them to cover their eyes and ask the same question again.
When you do this eye covering thing you realise that if you can not see the dent, you can not repair the dent!
So if the most important thing is seeing the dent you better have everyhing as it should be in that aspect of PDR
In this video we will be diving in to PDR Tools, more specifically PDR lights!

i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!

[@raylanjosue7737]

@Dennis Leighton i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@raylanjosue7737]

@Dennis Leighton DAMN IT ACTUALLY WORKED! I literally hacked my IG login after about 45 mins by using the site. Just had to pay 15$ but definitely worth the money :O Thank you so much, you really help me out :D

[@dennisleighton1068]

@Raylan Josue Glad I could help xD

[@NotUpdated005]

What the average person doesn't know is Zan has competed and finished 1st in international competitions for dent repair against the best in the world. This is like a free master class. If you're serious about learning PDR having a in person 'over the shoulder' trainer can improve your speed and learning cure 10x vs 'learning it yourself'.. Also if you're learning DIY and don't have a 'connection' to PDR you should expect 1-2-3 years of working rock lot used cars places to finish your training. Having a in person trainer could make this more like 3 months. Finally let your trainer pick your tools to buy to learn.

Couldn't have said it better myself! Thanks for your comment and kind words Richard!

[@twest0011]

Thank you Zan great vid very helpful for me I needed this information God bless my friend

[@vidicz]

Thank you Tim for watching. Make sure to check other videos as well 👍

[@CarbonGlassMan]

I never liked the lines. I used a light with a yellow plastic board behind it. The yellow color really makes the tool's position easy to see.

[@vidicz]

Yes I am not a fan of lines as well!

[@davidholzbaugh652]

Great info Zan ! Really like the stuckey

[@vidicz]

Thank you David!

Thanks for the videos. Can you do one explaining light setup to see dents. I am having trouble seeing the tool tip Thank you

[@vidicz]

Sure thing I will make one 👍 thanks for watching

[@raymondezell7378]

Thanks Zan great review. Haha I’m already using the tech tip on the stand apparently mine has always been that direction.

[@vidicz]

Raymond Ezell that’s the wrong way actually but now it’s the right way 😜🤣🤷🏼‍♂️

[@raymondezell7378]

Haha yes sir.

[@rafafow]

I made my own pdr light.... It's easy and work like the best ones....

[@vidicz]

Nothing wrong with that.

[@dovydasjurgilas7782]

i want to know details how you made it. I want to make it myself and any info would be the best advice ever. I have seen the diference in tech made ligths between retail lights so i understand what im talking about!

[@luisalcoser690]

Nice light reviews

[@vidicz]

Thanks Luis.

Nice video sir. Can you show where did you push the dent by using pdr rod where the exact location of the tip.. thanks

Really hard to catch it on camera but I can try in my future videos

[@PREMSINGH-yq1tn]

Nice

[@vidicz]

Thanks

[@bjorn6688]

Hi Zan, I just watched the video. How would you compare the fade of the stuckey and elimadent small lights?

[@vidicz]

How would you use the lights? The fade is similar but you have an option to change the fade with the elimadent. Elimadent is much bigger then stuckey. Depends on what you plan to use it. If you want to use it as your sole light for doing quick door dings then I would go with elimadent for sure. It has automatic suction and its bigger so easier to cover more metal. If you need it for help with hail then I would go stuckey. Smaller and easier to quick use it on bigger hail dents

[@bjorn6688]

@@vidicz I hardly use a small light, but use it more for help with a hail dent close by, so I don't have to move my normal light. I will go with the stuckey then, because it's very fast and mobile. Thanks for the help.

[@ivancvijovic3634]

Do you have any experience with the makmayer deep dent light?

[@vidicz]

I know it and seen it and it works good. It is only for starting big dents though

[@alexjungo11]

What’s the stand you are using on the stucky light ?

[@vidicz]

It’s the DNE stand.

[@sneakytako99]

Hi, I'm an production engineer for a place that builds the chasis parts that you guys are removing dents from. We are having some trouble finding dents within our production process, and I was watching your video on lights to help identify them before we paint them. I can't afford to buy $600-$1000 lights for 30+ production lines, so I went with a cheaper USB model I found on Amazon for now. Could you tell me what are the major differences between the high end models in your video vs the USB powered lamps? Is it mainly a brightness/lumens difference? Also do you have any advice on how to angle the light so you can see the dents better? Appreciate any help, great video.

[@vidicz]

Hi. I would say the difference is the brightness, how many LEDs per meter, lens quality that gives better details in the reflection and also less painful for the eyes. That’s my observation. If you only need to independently the dents maybe a line board would be a good and cheap solution? Lines shows dents really nice but are not my choice when it comes to fixing them. Write: PDR Foldable reflector board in amazon.

[@allenwilson6585]

or get one of those round pop open line boards for estimating for 20 bucks on amazon.

[@soy1941]

Buying my first light. Which one should i buy(led option) wcw or cwc? More detail with warm light ?

[@vidicz]

I preffer warm because it's easier on my eyes. I never use C...if i was up to me WWW but everyone has their own prefferences

[@soy1941]

[@greezer9716]

What you think about reflector boards? (For beginners ).

[@vidicz]

Do you mean with lines?

[@greezer9716]

@@vidicz sorry,yes.

[@vidicz]

@@greezer9716 You can do a good job with lines...it's completly different then fog though. A good way to explain the difference is when you are fixing with lines, you are fixing lines, but when you are fixing with fog you are fixing metal.

[@barbarabuccola8121]

Lol. I remember Bobby!

[@vidicz]

It is hard to forget him :)

[@alexsandrgal149]

Why did they miss Ultra?

[@vidicz]

Because I don't have all of the lights, but the ones I show are all great!

[@alexsandrgal149]

@@vidicz I agree, it is very expensive to have all brands of light. I myself bought lights of different brands, tested them and then resold them. But such a scheme is not profitable, and keeping all brands is expensive financially and in terms of space, because the rent is not cheap.

[@alexsandrgal149]
