2010 I went to Brazil to learn to do the Brazilian way and boy they use sticks branches and rebars to bring back in such perfection that's almost magical!
This video just popped up on my feed. Watched it all and think it’s excellent. I think the way you show how it’s done and explain it, is very good indeed.
i got a lesson in humble pie today a guy brought in a 2018 duramax 1 ton it has hit every gravel road from mn to texas 4 inch lift big tires ect their was so many dents it made me dizzy in just 3 hours i was overwhelmed and hoping for help but it never came another 50 dents left sharp crease ones and huge soft ones all over boxsides fenders doors ect.the 36inch dentcraft doublebend tool has paid for itself running through top holes under boxside pads and bouncing the soft ones out and ultra and anson tools worked but i was blind after work tonight and i had to call my date off cause my body ached im 59 now
I'm going to dislike it on the grounds of creating tons of high spots while pushing from behind, I'd say about 80% of those high spots could've been avoided if he had been more careful and PATIENT. He just made a lot more work for himself by creating all those high spots that he had to knock down.
If you were not trying to make a video, how long should a repair like this take a guy with your skill level, and how long do you think it would take a beginner? Thanks, great vid.
Those first two hard to get tools wouldn't be too hard to fabricate for yourself. (If you couldn't Get them.) Can't get it, make it.. Welder and a torch go a long way. Great informative videos. Thank you.
Thanks for the great tips bro but where can we get tools that cud possible do work like yours because idk how to choose the tips and rods cud u make a video for tools that arent legendary as yours it'd be great
I’m new to this so can you explain the science behind banging on the dent to take the dent out? I’m definitely a starter so definitely would like to know.
And old school metal finishing tip that you can apply: In the beginning, when you are pushing, stop and hole the pressure on, and gently tap on the crown. Dont hit it so hard you deform it, but tap gentile to "Nudge" it into letting go of its stress. Use a "slapper", or your metal hub cap hammer.
Excellent content! What if you’re unable to access it from the back? Have an identical dent but the back of my fender has a 1 inch hump impeding my access
That’s an excellent question! Learning to read your light Is the first step to answering that. If you find yourself in a situation that you’re confused what you’re looking at, always grab your knockdown and even up what you know is high to start. Id strongly recommend hopping on www.realworldpdr.com I answer everything in depth there. New sign ups also get 100 dollars worth of Anson store credit so it’s risk free and then some!
I’m real interested in knowing what the end cost would’ve come out to for the average customer, I get you did it for a wholesale customer but the reason I ask is because I’m curious to what the cost would’ve been with PDR vs just changing out the panel!!
Absolutely light placement and how to read your light is the most important thing. An absolute building block. Of course I explain exactly how to use your light at www.realworldpdr.com
I signed up a couple of days ago .......kinda screwed it up i might be on the monthly plan but i need the 101 ! I'm waiting on tools ! i've been watching pdr 101 but i can't do much i've done a few glue pulls in the past ! Jim kinda knows about it ...just waiting on my light mainly! oh and my poker!
Im throughly impressed ive seen quite impressive things in all aspects of the automotive industry but this just fascinated me i got the 89 pc pdr set from vevor for 100-130 what tools would you recommend i add to my pdr tool kit? Being a mechanic this is good to know because well shit happens lol
During the first massaging above crease you mentioned the area below came out on its own. Yet I clearly see marks where your tool also pushed this lower area outward. No big deal, but your comment was that it came out by itself. And as a collision repair tech I understand metal. So yes it would want to release as you massage the crease outward. However the marks left by your tool show a different story. So we’re you just wrong about what you said- or were you misleading your audience. However regardless you are a master at PDR and should continue doing training for beginners. Kudos to you and continued success. Once more however: I don’t know that anyone could actually learn these skills on an online course. Unless they have a clientele of dents coming in to practice on. If I believed it would help me I’d subscribe today as I want to add the PDR to basic body skills to try and speed up or save money on materials thereby earning more per hour. Thank you.
Well, I’ve got hundreds of techs that would tell you otherwise. It can be learned with guided practice that I have available on Real World. I’m not going to re watch this video to see what exactly you’re talking about, but I assure you I’m not misleading anyone.
the light reflection makes a bend when it goes over the body line at the repair area. doesn't that indicate theres some locked up tension there that wasn't released?
I think with a larger tip, especially like the hubcap you’re going to lose accuracy and also move a lot more metal than you’d like to. But hey, give it a try! Maybe you’ll stumble on something we should all be doing
and whats up with them new silverados you get cleanup close and still if you think its done and if you step back 5 feet away it still looks like not right.i have been rushed lately from boss and thats not good im close and hes like whats taking so long and the 2019s and newer have aluminium rear doors now to front doors metal
Hi, I have a huge roof dent covering the whole left roof rear quarter. It includes some deep creases at the left roof rail. Can I get by with some basic minimal PDR tools? Thanks.
PDR isn’t something that generally goes well for a DIY guy. I’d recommend finding a good PDR technician in your area. It takes years to learn this skill well enough to even repair moderate damage well. What you describe seems pretty extensive. It’s entirely possible you’ll make the damage worse and unrepairable if you try yourself. Sorry for the bad news, I’m trying to be honest here.
Hey Jim thanks for yet another awesome video! One question, You said you used to use a Slapper Tapper for this kind of crown before. Is that a Dent Dial or one the red or blue ones from Keco I think? I ask because I'm trying to get a handle on my new Dent Dial Slapper, thanks

I will definitely be contacting you about in person training in the near future.Thanks for sharing as well as putting together such an informative place for online training. Been a member for near 2 years now.
Thanks @@RealWorldPDRTraining I def want to get into a shop and get some time in. Maybe I can order a starter kit and experiment myself. I used to work at a sign shop and may aluminum channel letters so i am familar with bending and shaping metal somwhat. i do enjoy it
Wrecked my 2021 Kia Rio S. Front end damage looks worse than it is...in my opinion. 😁 Insurance company still has not been able to get to the car at the tow year. I am not the registered owner, my wife is. She is out of the country and does not return until the end of this month. I did send pics though.
Either way. It’s free TH-cam content. You get what you get and don’t throw a fit (as my daughters preschool says) 720 shows what needs seen, and speeds up my work flow for free content. There’s plenty of 1080 content in the paid subscription.
i think fender repairs are overdone i want to see boxside big truck repairs we get them constantly in midwest and tools need to be thin and very strong with a big swoopp to go through boxside top holes under cap i love my shaved reaper rod but it will not turn in the square holes and i have a bunch waiting tuesday no ascess lower sections gravel rock outys ect.we all know a good rod is no good if you dont have the swoop to reach the dent to get power but still thin to go through factory holes its a bitch on side damange
Great content as always Hello Jim ,This is EAGLE from Buddygo. We are a car product service company, we mainly produce the car Cabin Air Filter for cars. My purpose of contacting you is to seek business cooperation, and I look forward to your reply. best wishes
I’m ready to attempt it
Nice
2010 I went to Brazil to learn to do the Brazilian way and boy they use sticks branches and rebars to bring back in such perfection that's almost magical!
True story. Those guys are talented and industrious. For me, I’ll stick with the tools I have, but mad respect to them
Thank you Jim. You have been generous with your time & techniques. This video has been very helpful to me. Much appreciated........Kim
The Best PDR teacher out there hands down!!! "Dent Map" Baby
This video just popped up on my feed. Watched it all and think it’s excellent. I think the way you show how it’s done and explain it, is very good indeed.
When I own the body shop we used to do this but back in those days we use the hammer and Dolly
i got a lesson in humble pie today a guy brought in a 2018 duramax 1 ton it has hit every gravel road from mn to texas 4 inch lift big tires ect their was so many dents it made me dizzy in just 3 hours i was overwhelmed and hoping for help but it never came another 50 dents left sharp crease ones and huge soft ones all over boxsides fenders doors ect.the 36inch dentcraft doublebend tool has paid for itself running through top holes under boxside pads and bouncing the soft ones out and ultra and anson tools worked but i was blind after work tonight and i had to call my date off cause my body ached im 59 now
Learn a lot..thanks.watching from Philippines
YOURE A REALLY GOOD TEACHER. THANKS MAN
I can't believe someone could dislike this great video
Ahhh, people find reasons to hate on things. It’s ok, I’ve got thick skin!
I'm going to dislike it on the grounds of creating tons of high spots while pushing from behind, I'd say about 80% of those high spots could've been avoided if he had been more careful and PATIENT. He just made a lot more work for himself by creating all those high spots that he had to knock down.
Thanks Jim for what you offer
Some very helpful tips amongst the many many sales pushes...
lol glad you enjoyed…. Kinda
@3:20 that's what he said..
thanks Jim for doing these videos, great to see
For the ppl that disliked this video i want to see your work
If you were not trying to make a video, how long should a repair like this take a guy with your skill level, and how long do you think it would take a beginner? Thanks, great vid.
Thank you for this, much appreciated good man.
Those first two hard to get tools wouldn't be too hard to fabricate for yourself. (If you couldn't Get them.)
Can't get it, make it..
Welder and a torch go a long way.
Great informative videos. Thank you.
Thanks for the great tips bro but where can we get tools that cud possible do work like yours because idk how to choose the tips and rods cud u make a video for tools that arent legendary as yours it'd be great
Seeing you do the speedup video gave me an idea. Put the hub cap head on a hammer drill and.whack away at high speed. Done in 2 seconds.😮
Impressive ! thank you for such a detailed video !
My pleasure!
I’m new to this so can you explain the science behind banging on the dent to take the dent out? I’m definitely a starter so definitely would like to know.
this was a fun watch.
And old school metal finishing tip that you can apply:
In the beginning, when you are pushing, stop and hole the pressure on, and gently tap on the crown. Dont hit it so hard you deform it, but tap gentile to "Nudge" it into letting go of its stress. Use a "slapper", or your metal hub cap hammer.
You should do an aluminum door dent ON the body line. Like the 2020 Ford SuperDuty pickups.
Wow you did a beautiful job
jimmy. nice to see you. did i ever tell you your channel is going to blow up!
Haha once a long time ago you told me something about that
Excellent work bro, ty for the video
Thanks for your clips Jim. Amazing job. 👍
Thanks! Looking good dude
Very nice 🙂
KAWAŁ DOBREJ ROBOTY 😁
Great lesson
how much time you spend for repair that fender ? and how much your charge for repair ?
Excellent content! What if you’re unable to access it from the back? Have an identical dent but the back of my fender has a 1 inch hump impeding my access
One inch hump? Is it the fender liner?
Спасибо за подробный показ !!👍💪🔥🔥🔥
Good video Jim
Hats off for your presentation technique. Very pleasant to watch, thanks!
At the finishing stage, how do we differentiate between those tiny lows and highs? How do we recognize them?
That’s an excellent question! Learning to read your light Is the first step to answering that. If you find yourself in a situation that you’re confused what you’re looking at, always grab your knockdown and even up what you know is high to start.
Id strongly recommend hopping on www.realworldpdr.com I answer everything in depth there. New sign ups also get 100 dollars worth of Anson store credit so it’s risk free and then some!
Thanks Brother! As always you're helpful and cool as hell!!
I’m real interested in knowing what the end cost would’ve come out to for the average customer, I get you did it for a wholesale customer but the reason I ask is because I’m curious to what the cost would’ve been with PDR vs just changing out the panel!!
Real good flick
What’s the cost comparison compared to getting a replacement part
Does the light matter when doing this?
Absolutely light placement and how to read your light is the most important thing. An absolute building block.
Of course I explain exactly how to use your light at www.realworldpdr.com
Thank you!
I signed up a couple of days ago .......kinda screwed it up i might be on the monthly plan but i need the 101 !

The monthly comes with the 101 content, and you get the Anson goodies!
@@RealWorldPDRTraining i got it i received a letter telling me to join and it's like did i get lost ! So I was just checking
@@RealWorldPDRTraining great!
Good stuff!
Did you remove that pressure dent from your thumb on the bottom of the wheel arch at the end of the video?
Hi, your works are mind blowing. May I know where we can buy these tools and brand name?
Thank you for sharing
excellent content jim 🔥
you are amazing man !!!

I have a quite a few videos covering basic tools here on TH-cam. Even more in depth coverage on everything on www.realworldpdr.com

Very amazing 💪💪💪👌👌👌

I have a very similar dent in my car. How much something like this repair will cost me?
Good info thank u 😇
the light reflection makes a bend when it goes over the body line at the repair area. doesn't that indicate theres some locked up tension there that wasn't released?
Instead of going smaller and smaller, could you go larger (like the hubcap tip, or some kind of roller) and sort of "burnish" the texture out?
I think with a larger tip, especially like the hubcap you’re going to lose accuracy and also move a lot more metal than you’d like to. But hey, give it a try! Maybe you’ll stumble on something we should all be doing
How long did this repair took please?
Great question, I wonder that, too. Also, how much of the total work is shown, in all, plaback speed notwithstanding. Thanks
and whats up with them new silverados you get cleanup close and still if you think its done and if you step back 5 feet away it still looks like not right.i have been rushed lately from boss and thats not good im close and hes like whats taking so long and the 2019s and newer have aluminium rear doors now to front doors metal
How long does this actually take if I missed it? And how much can you charge for this?
love your videos btw!
Thank you very much your video
well done

How can I gain leverage from a tool that’s not so bent like that? I’m having issues with that, I have beginner set of tools
Make those tools work for you, bend the crap out of it. I do it all the time!
Hey Jim thanks for yet another awesome video! One question,
You said you used to use a Slapper Tapper for this kind of crown before. Is that a Dent Dial or one the red or blue ones from Keco I think?
I ask because I'm trying to get a handle on my new Dent Dial Slapper, thanks
Thank you so much for this video متشکرم
Do you have a list of the basic tools a beginner should get? Just so I’m not wasting money on a bunch of Amazon junk trying to learn lol

I’ve trained a couple of techs from CT, and I can’t speak to exact numbers, but I know one is into six figures for sure.

Less is Best ....Noted 😎

How can a content creator not make a technical video in anything less than 1080p?!?
Are you asking why I’m not shooting editing and posting in 4k? Or 1080?
Either way. It’s free TH-cam content. You get what you get and don’t throw a fit (as my daughters preschool says) 720 shows what needs seen, and speeds up my work flow for free content.

I like bringing dents out with these tools then body fill and painting, this is so time consuming
If you were to buy all of the knockdown tips from VIP, you would be spending around $10k 😱
