Thanks for the honest review. I'm retired and a much above average hobbiest body man and I have been interested in doing some light PDR on the side for friends and neighbors. I actually just today ordered about $450 of PDR tools from Amazon. My thoughts are that I will recognize what stinks and those tools I will replace with quality tools but for now I think I will be OK. After all, I have been doing PDR for years using whatever I could find around the garage, so this has to be a huge upgrade from that.
@@jerryvikla3925 i hear you! When I first started, I was around some guys that were bending flathead screwdrivers, and shaving down the ends of them, and using those as brace tools! So it’s wild that a “cheap” set of tools from Amazon would have been a luxury set of tools back then! I really enjoyed doing this because I want to encourage guys and gals to get hands-on in their garage, and not be discouraged by how expensive Dent tools really are.

It's not so much the quality of the tools, but the skill and experience. Better tools just add a bit to the tech. The best tools couldn't do any good to someone who doesn't know how to use them.

Honest review and nice presentation, Thank you. I am a paint and body guy, so on my own vehicles, even the smallest door dings which most people would not even notice, that is all I see when approaching my car. There is no pdr service in my area, so I am going to try to learn pdr on my own.
@@DCBabos go get em brother! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! We had way more fun than i expected. And yes, as a body guy, I can imagine you see all of the little imperfections that most people don’t. Which is also going to be an advantage in your learning to do dent repair! If there is no PDR service in your area, and you really want to learn how to do this properly, and get some insight on how to start the PDR side of business, I do training in the Dallas or area. Two week and one month courses. I do one on one, so the courses book pretty fast. I am booked through September, but, I have a little time in October and some in November. Connect with me on Instagram! We can talk more about getting you going! Otherwise, thank you for the support here on TH-cam!
Keith! Awesome brother! It’s wild that these would be considered “cheap” 😅. This set is way cooler than what we first started out with years ago. Dent tools have come along way, the durability, and the way they are treated and shaved down, and the different metals that we use. But, this set right here would’ve been awesome to have back in the late 90s early 2000s. With that said, I think you’ll really like them. They definitely get the job done!
Nice job! You explain things really well. It was great to see you push a few dents. I appreciate the videography as well. The shop is well lit. The close-up shots were easy to see. Well done!
@@EricPillow very kind words! Thank you! And I’ll pass on the compliments to videographer! Im glad you enjoyed! I think this will be something we do monthly if not every few weeks. 🤜🤛😎

@@JaredBoduch awesome, thank you Jared! You can do it brother! Slow approach, patience, don’t push too hard. See how the metal moves first, then you can always ramp up the intensity. Just remember, the metal is thin, and the paint is even thinner!

Cool to see some budget stuff that seems useable. Thanks for the review. I work in a body shop and have considered for a while trying to get into some paintless dent removal. Just not sure about investing into all the pro tools until I see if its something I would like to pursue. This may be a good option to start.
@@jasonsayre8102 hey brother! Thanks for popping in and checking out the video! Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, man, they were surprisingly pretty fun.

@@Husick420 thank you! If it’s a newer Ford, just be careful with the aluminum panels. You definitely have to push harder, but with finesse and patience.
