If you've driven for more than a couple of years, you understand the solemn truth that cars get dented. What you probably don't know is that most of the dents a car incurs can be easily fixed with cheap dent removal tools. Why do you want to fix your own dents, you ask? Well what happens when you're out late at night with a couple buddies and somehow, out of nowhere, your buddy accidentally backs into the side panel of your car, that he didn't see behind him. Oops. That one's gonna cost somebody about three years of raised insurance fees. That little scenario happens quite a bit more than you would think. It's happened to me personally at least two times.
In a situation like that one, don't you think you at least owe it to your friend to see if you can repair the damage yourself, using simple dent removal tools to try and pull out the dented section of your car? When it happened to me the first time, I was lucky enough to be able to borrow some dent removal tools from a friend. I thought there was no way I was going to be able to fix my car. My car was gray, and inside the dent a large white streak of paint from my friends car was rearing its ugly head. But I found that the paint from his bumper actually came off quite easy, and the dent, because it was one large dent, actually pulled out pretty nicely and left little sign of its ever having been there.
You can't use dent removal tools in every situation though. If a portion of the bumper has been crushed, they may or may not work. Bumpers are rarely made of metal, and dent removal tools are designed to pull the dents out of metal. The perfect application is for the doors and side panels. Dent removal tools are generally nothing more than powerful suction cups that will allow you to give a large pull to a tiny area. The funny thing is that it actually works better on larger dents, which is always nice. And for just twenty bucks, don't you owe it to your buddy to at least give it a try yourself. Think about it, for twenty bucks, your buddy will be forever indebted to you for being willing to fix the dent yourself and not jack up his insurance for the next three years. It's a win win.
Just push the suction cup onto the middle of the dent first, apply pressure and then pull out again. Then, move the dent removal tool around the different parts of the dent still present to pull them back out as well. In many cases, especially when there isn't any paint loss, the dent removal tool is the perfect application. In many cases, it won't make all traces of the dent go away, but like I said, for twenty bucks, you can't beat it.
