I have a couple of hand sized dents in the side and hood of my pickup. They can't be pushed out from behind due to the double wall construction. I don't want to deal with slide hammer damage and repainting if possible. Some of the eBay ads for Woods Power Suction Cup glass carrier say that the 8" model can be used to pull out dents in auto bodies. It will hold 125lbs. Will it do the job?

Also, what are opinions on the "paintless dent repair" tool that used to be advertised on TV. I think it uses some kind of epoxy ashesive and a bridge over the dent. I've seen a van around town advertising "Paintless Dent Repair", too.

Thanks and Happy New Year to all.

I bought one from H. F. and used it on my dads Buick. It is 6 inches in diameter and has a handle on it so the operator can pull on the metal. It worked on some but not all dents. It seems he went to a black neighbors funeral and as they were leaving the attendees got all upset and excited and were screaming and jumping up and down on the cars which were parked nearby. He said he will never attend a black funeral again as there is too much noise and bad behaviour for him to tolerate.

I've never heard of that use for a Woods Powr Grip, must be for one of their smaller units.

I'd think a hand operated cup used for glass might do it, you have to have a perfect seal, they're meant to work on a flat, smooth surface. I had some great success with those Powr Grip units, setting large pieces of glass requiring 6 people to handle, set with a crane, they make an excellent product, and the model we used was over $5000. They'll custom build you one for your needs, I almost bought a real big custom one for unique high rise job, but decided it would not be safe and rigged the picks differently with slings, which turned out to be equally as dangerous.

I am also curious about this other application for dents, the ones I've used have a port with a screen inside the cup, and the cup is flat, there is a guage on it that reads for vacuum, and an alarm that goes off if it starts to lose vacuum, rechargeable battery packs that operate it. Must be a small hand operated type, that you pump by hand, they are handy to have though, we used these to set windows, glass and anything you needed to get a handle on.

They are usually the eight inch size, with a nine inch here and there.

A friend had a SUV that had dozens of dents all along the sides, most were from his kids' bike handlebars. It was time to turn it in, it was leased.. He called in one of the "Dent Doctors". Guy spent an hour or so, massaging out all the dents. The SUV looked like new!!! I think the bill was $125.00. Quite a bargain, in my book..

Depending on what they look like a bathroom plunger might work to pull them out. Or maybe one of those new sucktion cup things you can buy at wal-mart for hanging stuff on walls.

I've got a 4 or 5 inch one that was bought to move glass. It will only work on a large dent in a large flat pannel. The suction cup has to get a perfect seal on the metal or it wont stick well. I don't think an 8 inch one would work because most of the time my smaller one wont grab. I try it on allmost every dent that happens by the house and it has pulled out maybey 10-15% of what I try it on. On just the right dent it is majic and I imagine if you had all different sizes it would help. Try you bathroom plunger for size.

if the dents dont have any cracks in the paint or real sharp creases, paintless dent removal can be a good option for you. you would be way ahead to call the paintless dent co in your area for an estimate. they will let you know just by looking at it if it can be removed by them. they have an array of specialized tools to raise the dents out. forget the suction cups or the pops a dent, its a waste of money.
