Suction Dent Pullers



In response to the Chris Lyinch Question about dent pullers.   I may suggest that nearly everyone has a dent puller already.  It's called a toilet plunger.  I know that sounds like a funny but it actually works.   Maybe all designs won't work but the old style does work on what I refer to as big slow dents such as a oil can type that just pops in and out.  It cant have any sharp creases or dimples because that type dent has stretched metal that requires shrinking to fix it.  Obviously a dent puller can't do that because it takes heat treatment to do that.   Most dents are not repaired that way by body shops-ether they are just left and filled with body filler (plastic).  The toilet plunger has to started away from the dent and slid into the center with the vacuum already in it and pulled.  I hope I don't become too well known for this remedy. I can see some negative reverberations arising.  Don't let anyone see you doing that!!!  Good luck.  Val

[The only thing I can ad is that a fellow car owner purchased one advertised on TV and the first time he used it the handle came off.]

QUESTION: my '66 Imperial Crown Coupe has some minor dents sprinkled
throughout--a dimple here and there, a minor crease on the rear quarter.
Does anyone have any experience with the following: suction cup dent
pullers, Dent Drs (a franchise) and great body men that don't even stock
bondo. My car was repainted sometime in the past 5 years and its always been
garaged, but either it picked up these imperfections after the fact or the
PPO didn't want to spend more money on restorative body work. DISCUSS
PLEASE.
