    Hopefully, they sent you "boxed Time", & the also the now-ex-teachers' checks... :D .
    "Patiently Waiting" for the detailed demos... :D .

    Well Merry Christmas to you! When the Grand Poobahs who closed down the programs need some collision work done where do they expect to go?

  3. They say cars won’t wreck in the future.

    I find it interesting that it is in a paintless dent repair kit. Paintless dent repair is more about light handed massage work. That piece looks like it would have a big learning curve to it to master the touch and feel of it. Best of luck with it and share some updates. Larry

  5. Yes. This tool can stretch the crap out of a small area fast. But there are a lot less aggressive ends for it.

    Yes cars will wreck into each other because it’s been people that caused the wrecks in their non AI vehicles.

    That's really interesting, I've never seen anything like that. I'd imagine you'd need very light pressure on the panel to move a lot of metal very quickly. Perhaps put a dolly on the backside and just touch the spinning attachment to the back of the panel. Wild stuff. Looks like fun haha

    Those tools certainly *are* "paintless" dent repair. You strip the paint away on both sides 1st, & then repair the dent w/o paint on it... :) . Yaa... I know... :) .

    Does it have a provision to shrink?

    Good on your class getting it rather than going to the auction.
    I think I understand how it works, I know a few friends that I wouldn't let touch it.

    One thing power tools help you do is to screw thing up way faster and a whole lot worse.

    I have been doing paintless dent for 30 years and there is no way this would not mess up a panel . I think it may work good for metal shaping though.
