thanks for the useful information, you saved my money❤
Zen you are a great guy you just threw away 200 hundred dollars for us , thank you brother and God bless
You are welcome 👍 I always wanted to try that
Would have loved to see them compared to a Body panel. They are cheap but could they get the job done kind of comparison. Just found your Channel and subscribed. Good Stuff!!
They could get some job done...but when it comes to bigger more complex stuff they would not because they flex. We are talking about getting out a really tiny dent. But you will struggle with them much more then with a professional tools
I’ve used a cheap slide hammer similar to that one.
Broke some cheap tabs that came with the kit, and since tabs are plastic I don’t think the slide hammer breaking there would be a problem. However, as you stated the design makes pulling awkward, and it does unscrew when you don’t want it to.
For an inexpensive blending hammer I got one with interchangeable tips, and can just get nicer tips I want for it…a nice leather tip costed more than the hammer.
Currently waiting on some whale tails in the mail, and will probably fabricate my own 4’-5’ “hail rod” because they are quite expensive for such a simple tool.
All PDR tools are expensive, that's a fact. But if you buy a good quality tool it should last you for ages and it will bring much more money in then you spent on it.
You great I love your Chanel I just start to learn PDR you helping me too much 👏
You are welcome. Hope it helps and good luck with learning PDR!
I love this video and it came out one day before one guy interested in pdr told me this set of tools look great and its cheap... so I sent him a link. I belive you saved him some money 😬👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
That’s the point of the video. Thanks for sharing
Zan what about a video of the tools you use everyday,and the accessories you use..Do you use hole Plugs?Do you use a steck hood clip pliers to remove fasteners?Do you carry a box of hood fasteners for different manufactures?..Thanks
Hi. This week I will make a video of the tools I most often use while fixing hail damaged car.
@@vidicz can't wait to see..l'm in anticipation 🤗
would you test the cheap Chinese 24 inch basic pusher rods? they cost about $25 and use a metric thread pattern. A single bend 90 degree and a double bend would be my choices.
also, why can't you sand and polish the plastic tips your complaining about? don't you have to polish your tips as they wear? keep up the good job; i like your videos.
Where to find those? Why not sand and polish? They should come out of the box ready to use. Its like buying a new car and then you have to put the tires on in order to drive it out of a dealership :) I rarely have to polish my tips
Thank you for watching!
What would of been good was if you got an old panel with dents on and use the cheap vs the expensive
Sounds like a good idea. When I will have some spare time I sure can do it!
Hola from Barcelona! Thanks for your videos. It's perfect and good trainner for me.
Hola to Barcelona. You are welcome Carles!
Well done.---Will save me a bit.
You are welcome
I love your videos, you are the boss
Thanks! Not the boss just a dent guy 👍
I agree with you, I learned the hard way on these cheap tools. The slide hammer is not assembled correctly. It will configure like yours. The aluminum hammer works ok, the glue gun is not good for mobile work, the rods suck(these are the worse I have seen), the threads are all M18, not 5/16-18. You can get a copy of a dent dial that is very good from china, but it is metric as well. Moral of the story, if you are going to be a professional, buy professional tools.
True. I like the moral of the story!
You have convinced me to go a little better on the tools. What is an efficient starter set? What brand gives you a good quality for money.
Hi Donald. Sorry for late reply. I do have a few videos about starter sets you might want to check out! All the professional PDR tool manufacturers are good quality!
Could u please advice me about the best kit for me as a beginner and from where can I buy it
THANKS
Hei Ahmed. Check out my other videos. There are a few about buying a starter set
Thanks you saved me. I’m new and I thought about buying that lol
You are welcome. Check out videos about buying tools for 1000$ I made.
But your not going to be pushing against any door dings with that much pressure ; whats the point of bending them with your full strength ?
You have no idea how much preassure is used when pushing dents do you? :) Trust me much more preassure gets applied to some of the dents
@@vidicz
No , I don't at all. I don't know jack about pdr. I have removed some small dents in the fender with a rubber object and slowly rolled them out , but that's some backyard ghetto stuff. lol
I have a dent like a ball dent was wondering what's my best option to take it off
It's around 4 inches round was looking for 1 tool that will work on its own and maybe a knock down to flatten any high spots
Any one know of 1
Taking out dents is not easy. If you don't know how to do it, I suggest you hire a professional.
@@vidicz well it's not a new truck it's a old 95 Tacoma I love pdr and want to buy tools but it would take time ,
So I'm looking for 1 maybe the flat bar ?
And besides that a heat gun
My goal is just to lift it enough wer I could just Bondo it and paint it
I know I can buy a new fender for around 90 but I just want to try pdr and mighteswell try it I'm a hobbiest
Have an idea to organize a bending competition for chinese fdr tools? Should like
Haha 😂 I have training 👍🤷🏼♂️
Hi, i need pdr tools.. Help ME pls.
How can one help you with that? :)
Good tools are not cheap!.. Cheap tools are not good!...👍
💯
I was looking for the tools in use on actual paying jobs.
Do you mean this cheaper tools?
quality is money. get your 200 back Zan.
True 👍
This video proves nothing. You didn’t even try them maybe they’re strong enough to use. Bending them I think is more force then pushing.
If you have never pushed you wouldn't know the force you use and the pressure you put on this tools sometimes.
Buy cheap buy twice✌️
I agree. It’s an important thing to realize 👍👊🏻
