Certainly NOT anything like pulling teeth!
Easy to use and worked perfectly without damage to my paint or panels.I've had my 04 since new. Over the last 18 years, despite my constant attempts to park as far away from other cars as possible, I've always managed to have some inconsiderate jerk park next to me. Dinging my door and side panels. I had several very small 1"L x1/16"D oblong dings/damage so dense, that I thought would never come out without removing the door panel and tapping them out from the backside.This 'Eastwood Auto Body Paintless Dent Removal Tool', worked beyond my wildest expectations!Since not having a 110v power outlet close by (300+ away), I was able to improvise power to the hot glue gun by plugging it into my (cigarette lighter) _12v - 110v Power Inverter_. Surprisingly it worked great!Upon my initial attempt to pull the first ding with the tool, The hot glue popped off the plastic pulling tab too easily. Leaving the glue stuck to the panel without pulling the ding.This was solved by lightly brushing the tip of the plastic tab over the surface of a concrete sidewalk (dulling the slick surface a bit). Each attempt thereafter worked flawlessly without the glue detaching from the pull tab so easily - Thus completely removing the ding/damage!It may require a few *gentle* pulls/tries and reapplying until the ding is finally fixed or significantly diminished. Just be gentle, patient and persistent and let the glue cool down COMPLETELY. This device really works well!BTW: in absence of denatured alcohol to remove any hot glue residue from the worked surface, ISOPROPYL alcohol and a soft rag, will also work to aid cleaning up any tenacious residue. You can also use a small amount of WD40 if you prefer.

This actually works - and well!
The dent I repaired was about the size of a dime and a little deep. The depth made it a little harder to pull out.You need a lot of patience using this kit. I had to glue the small blue tab on the dent and pull it off about 12 times. A couple of times I used the slide hammer and popped it hard. That was on applications 9 and 10. After a couple more applications and pulling off with the hand device did the trick. The dent is completely gone! Even in bright sunshine you cannot tell there was ever a dent! This kit consist of all high-quality devices. It was well worth what I paid for it.

Basically good
Works OK. Basically good, but you'll probably need a wider assortment of pull tabs, especially of the smaller sizes. The kit is a bit overpriced, I think. However, the carrying case is nice. You can get a kit on Amazon for much less money which contains more tools, but without the case.

Door Ding Be Gone
This product works like magic. I try hard keeping my vehicle looking like showroom material. But no matter how hard you try we eventually get a door ding. I saw this tool on YouTube and decided to try it out.Amazingly after a few attempts using this tool the dent vanished. Completely gone. Simply follow the easy instructions and take your time. The dent will disappear.Completely satisfied with this purchase.

Glue gun sucks
Decent kit except for the glue gun. Take forever to heat up and you have to pull the trigger A LOT to even get the glue stik to move. What a piece of you know what for the glue gun.

It’s fine but hindered by some poor execuction
The bottom line is that it worked to remove a dent from the gas tank on my motorcycle. I’ll keep it around and use it for similar minor issues as it certainly fills a need.There are two big problems here. The first is that hot glue gun as effectively worthless. It takes at least 15 minutes to heat up enough to melt the glue, but it doesn’t get hot enough for the trigger to actually pull the glue through the nozzle. I had to use two hands to pull the trigger while pushing the glue stick from the rear to get any flow. And then the glue cools too quickly to get it to the dent, so this all has to be done very close to the work surface.I ended up using a very old automotive glue gun (no clue what it is or where I got it) that heats up in 2 minutes and liquifies the glue with ease. Once I started working with that the rest of the kit worked pretty well.The other big issue is the slide hammer. It’s all screwed together, and as a result it unscrews itself as you’re using it. I had to stop every 5-6 slides to tighten it back up. I applied some thread locker and tried a couple hours later, but it didn’t improve much. After a few strikes the thread locker gave up and the problem returned. This isn’t a critical failure but it’s definitely a pain.The pulling pins and clamp-style puller worked well. It takes quite a bit of practice to get a rythym going, but once you figure out the right pressure and alignment it actually worked better than I expected. The slide hammer also worked well for getting a larger dent worked out to the point the clamp puller could finish it off.Bottom line then is that while it worked I don’t think it’s worth the premium price. It would be better to get a basic kit with the clamp puller and slide hammer, and then find a good glue gun separately. I imagine I could have done a better job spending $50-55 total and come out with similar results.The included photos show the starting dent, my progress after a couple hours, and finally another attempt the next morning. It’s working very slowly so I’m still going at it but I think with enough time and repetition it’ll get there.

It just works!!!
Easy to use and effective. Follow the instructions and it works as it should. The glue gun is a little cheap feeling, but it gets the job done. Would highly recommend!!

Awesome. Actually works
Wish I had taken a before and after picture. Had three dents in my car, two from Door dings and one from a walnut to the hood from a treeIt took about five cycles with each dent but it works!! Use a lot of glue and don’t just snap the puller off, jiggle the handle and ‘vibrate’ the dent out. Then snap it finally to pull the blue thing off. When I waited for the glue to fully dry and used a lot of glue with this method, the glue was stuck on the car, not the tool, when it finally snapped off. Again, it works really well. Very happy with it.
