a very low cost auto sheet metal dent removal tool set

now obviously at this price your not getting the top quality tool set, but at the price if you successfully make a single repair
(and you could most likely remove a dozen plus minor dings & dents)
you'll have saved a great deal of time and cash most likely otherwise being wasted rather than paying a local auto body shop,
to do the type of minor repair work, that they would very often charge 2-3-5 times the cost of the tools,
plus you may gain a new skill set!
I have a minor sheet metal dent in my 2022 truck door where some careless morron opened his door hard when parked to close
there's a minor dent that's mostly cosmetic as its only maybe 1/8th inch by about 3/8th inch and maybe 1/16 th inch deep.
yeah if your rather unskilled a minor bit of BONDO and sanding and paint would hide the nearly insignificant damage, but that's not a professional way to repair the ding, and I'd rather have it done correctly by pulling out the minor dent

I visited a local auto body and the estimator guy said two things that kind of pissed me off.

(1) that's so minor .. why not just ignore it, until you get a few more, so it's worth the time and your cost to do the cosmetic repairs all at once?
(2) with the potential repair and maybe the repainting to do, that repair your looking at about $200-$240, MINIMUM

and we can't get to it for 7-8 days if then, we will call if we get an opening in the schedule

when my wife was driving several of the trucks I owned she constantly, had difficulty in depth perception, I've noticed this is marginally more prevalent in female drivers, (just an observation, not suggesting anything other than it was obvious) (several of the guys wives MINE INCLUDED)
my wife, just seemed to park or make turns without grasping the concept that a large 4x4 truck requires a bit more distance from obstacles
like curbs mail boxes other trucks etc ,when turning , parking or backing up than you do with a typical car.
she proved this on my 1989 ford 350 dually, and on my 2022 GMC. 4x4
well the bottom line here was I was forced to learn to do modest scratch and minor scrape repair work on truck auto bodys , my wifes name was MARGE, so we referred to the minor damage she seemed pre-destined to do to the dual rear wheel fenders, door edges etc, if we let her drive my 4x4 truck, as MARGE-MARKS, thus it necessitated I purchase here a smaller transportation car, she wanted( a chrysler 300)

for her use and forced me to learn auto body repair, and not criticise her woeful lack of accurately judging clearances in the rear view mirror and lack of skill using the tailgate camera
