    its nice for little dents and creases espically along butt welds were the two panels meet you can get out almost every little low spot. i would recomend it but thats just my .02 cents

    plus its great for panels that are double walled or cant get behind because f some obstacle in your way. . i pulled a bg dent a few times straight from the middle just to get the majority of it out but finished it with hammer and dollies .

    Don't know but I'm gonna find out. I just got mine from Eastwood. I've got a '76 Chevy beater pickup with a later bed on it. Both bed sides are creamed in a couple places each (looks like someone backed into the bed with the counterweight of a fork lift).

    I have a nice american made stud gun similar to that and have used it to pull a whole quarter panel on my little honda crx (my son had trouble parking my excursion that day!) they work well.

    Hey,

    I don't think that I'd look to one of these as the universal panacea
    to your bent metal woes. Unless you're workin' late model tin,
    these are really not all that useful. A couple of well chosen pry
    rods (Martin sells 'em) will do about everything one of these will
    do for much cheaper, and you won't be buying any more of the
    weld-on studs.

    I've used them before, and they rock. Perfect for small dings, you can pull with hand pressure while tapping down the surrounding high spots. For big dents you can just weld 3-4 in a row and clamp onto all of them at once. Sure beats drilling a hole in the panel.
