Looks good to me. Everyone has there own methods of repair and I like the tools. I need something like that. Works great with certain dents that do not require framing. I may would have took the door panels off and if possible hammered and dolly the door straight with my tools I have but If I had that system then maybe yea that is the route to go. Great Job
I dont think alot of ppl know this is aluminum. Can just a regular stud welder and slid hammer. And pdr on aluminum is alittle harder than steel panels.
Very nice half repair but why ground the stud machine flat in the middle of the pannel? lol nice metal working though with the proper tools as well.. i usually get behind the dent with a pdr stick and slowly start messaging the high spots down while i apply pressure the the lows with heat of course!
i was taught to heat panel to 45 degrees c pull the repair then reheat to 90 degrees c and let cool down before removing puller to allow aluminium to hold shape!
This clip is demoing the tool and pretty snappy at that. But this dent was a perfect dent for a PDR pro. I also believe that the tech here added a few studs to many on the body line. 2 or 3 less studs would've been more effective and less crown pounding. Just my 2
Seems a lot of messing about... why weld the earth stud in the middle of the door.. l would have keeped it closer less chance of distorting the door when grinding away the stud..And lots more paint prepping...
It's because the aluminum panel requires heating while the area is being pulled across the dent. A single stud with a slide hammer is too much force in a single location and would probably result in a tear in the panel. Check out the Collision Hub Video with Larry Montanez.
@@luke9981 I'm going to say around 4hrs. I don't actually do PDR, but I watch the industry closely because a friend does it for a living. It's amazing what they can pull these days!
absolutely not. This is aluminum panel, the repair process is slower than a steel repair. Also, you would NOT want to weld in a 'patch panel' on a penal such as a door skin, as the heat from welding would severely warp the panel, causing bigger problems
Thanks for the video never worked on aluminium panels before it was very helpful

1978 disco... doing the Lindy
What a piece of yunk this new ford is
great repair
Thanks for your comment. It could have been closer you. Normally 5 cm from the damage is ideal.
I really love that hammer where did you get it
You can never have enough hammers. :) It is part of the system. contact us and we will assist.

I know nothing about body work, but this was fascinating to watch. Is this a "normal" method or a new process you invented?
This is the hard way
the main trick is to heat it up , but i think must be heated up below 400 degrees F. if i'm correct. good video.

:20 seconds into the video my girlfriend asks if I'm watching an old school porno
Hello I don't understand your comment. Please let me know what we did wrong in this repair. This was to show the studt repair method on an edge.
столько техники приложил да и ВСЁ ровно незделал как надо. я с одним молотком и то лудше делаю.
nice jam

It's within 3" of the initial damage, just outside the work area. Great area to locate it.
I could do it with PDR ;)
yes i agree.. a good pdr man no problem..
The best solution, and inexpensive!
20 minutes with PDR and it would be 90+ percent repaired
this looks like an awfully long process.. why not use a stud welder and a slide hammer? just curious

Too bad we didn't see how to set up the machine.
This was painful to watch, i m kinda reconsiddering getting your htr02, what s the warranty on it anyways
Hi Adrian
we are very pleased that you find the Hotbox interesting. Warranty on the HTR02 is 1 year.
I don`t see why you don`t like the repair?
👍👌🙂👍👌🙂👍👌🙂👌👍🙂!
Probably the most useless tools to use in the automotive repair industry. I've seen PDR done on damage 5 times worse than this!
How long would it take to PDR it?
@@luke9981 I'm going to say around 4hrs. I don't actually do PDR, but I watch the industry closely because a friend does it for a living. It's amazing what they can pull these days!
OMG! You could just PDR it out!
That looks pretty cool but wouldn't it be easier just to cut it out and weld a new piece in?
absolutely not. This is aluminum panel, the repair process is slower than a steel repair. Also, you would NOT want to weld in a 'patch panel' on a penal such as a door skin, as the heat from welding would severely warp the panel, causing bigger problems
Loop oo[oi iou.
replace door
you can push it on the back side of the door..hey common men..
There are braces behind the panel. No access. No pushing.
Doesn't look very promising to me
Not very impressed sorry!!!!
Hi David
Thank you for watching the video and leaving a comment.
No bueno, PDR way better approach.
