Car Dent Repair Rods Kit Stainless Steel Tools for Car Auto Body Dents Hail Damage Removal Set (4PCS)

Dropped it one time and it shattered.My fault.The light worked well before the drop.

Found this works better useing a heat gun vs the glue gun. Heated the location of dent useing heat gun then placed tip of glue stick on area again useing heat gun to melt thin layer. Then placed blue plug on glue and allowed to dry. The grip was much stronger than melting glue with glue gun placeing it on the tip of the blue plug and when used in conjunction with a suction cup kit made quick work of an annoying dent. Don't freak out over glue left on vehicle just warm left over glue whipe with cloth then use a correction compound, comes right off. Don't worry if blue plug separates leaving a circle of glue on vehicle, just reheat with heat gun re attach plug and pull again. Will take more than one pull depending on dent but carefully heating the area of the dent will help.

These rods are incredibly solid and long enough for most repairs. Handles are also solid and in a fixed tee config. The tips have plastic screws, plastic tips are required but not the screw that attaches them to the rod. Tips tend to snap off. For the price however, it's definitely worth it, a quick fix for the tips I've found is to buy a seperate tap down kit with tips, those have metal screw ins not plastic snap off ones. Between the cost for the two items - still a great value.

This kit does have useful tools however I have to leave a three star rating based on the fact the hood on most import cars is manufactured with holes too small for all that one tool to get into. If you were working on a fender you wouldn't need this tool however if you were working on quarter panels or even a trunk in most cars they might come in handy. I bought this for an import truck and the primary focus was on the hood and I have to say it works so so but it did leave indentions which had to be smooth out with several hours of light hammering with a flattening tool after using a flattening cone. You can't see the den like you did before however it could definitely use another three to four hours of work and if I'd known that going into this I would have just picked a more expensive set of dent removers and gone that route. If you've never worked with sheet metal or you never worked with flattening out metal this kit might pose a few problems as I can't see it being used without that taking place on over half the cars in the US. If you had more rods of the narrow size it would be of value or should I say greater value. if you want to know if this get will work on your car before buying and your focus is the hood or the trunk oh, pop your hood and find where the hood rod goes into your hood. just gauging off that side try to see where your access holes will be that you're going to try and maneuver these rods through. if you can't find that many holes near where you're going to be trying to remove a dent that are at least half the size of your hood latch hole, you need to consider a more expensive kit. If you do not have a latch hole in your hood because you have hydraulic lifts yes, try to get your 3/8 inch ratchet out of your toolbox and compare holes to that oh, your 3/8 wrench will be about the size you need the largest right in here to get him an Uber through a space and get a dent out and I want to say that's the one you want to use if you don't want to have protrusions on the external metal of your car. Don't take my word for gospel your experience may always be different however this is my experience and not the first time using them.

Light is even, reflection board is not bad for PDR work. If it could actually be used for the intended purpose. Support arm is really hard to adjust that makes a work on a car with multiple dents very frustrating. Suction cups wouldn't hold after few hours of use. Board is too heavy for even a good suction cup. This one has 2 suction cups that doubles the failure rate. Edges of the board have no rubberized protection, it easily scratches car's paint when suction cups fail. Made of brittle cheap plastic. It shuttered into pieces when I couldn't catch it and it eventually fell to the ground. All the glued pieces came apart. It's another one-time-use junk product. Companies that waste resources to intentionally manufacture low quality or useless products should be banned from importing their goods.

Easy to use and set up. I used this with a dent removal kit I purchased as well. Does it’s job but a small dent will definitely be missed, not that bright.

The ends broke pretty easy

This light worked great! Being able to reverse the panel from the white side to yellow gave me the flexibility to really make all aspects of the dent visible. I was able to get 90% of a challenging roof rail dent out. This is a must-have for your PDR tool kit.
