I like detailing and i think it would be nice for me to invest some money into a PDR Kit. I've already paid probably $600 in the past for door dings and stuff. i was wondering what your guys thoughts are on this and how well they actually work. The kit im looking at is a H & S Autoshot 7500. it will run about $330

 

I watched the vid .. might work on large area dents but It looked a little gimikie to me .

 

The PDR people I know; dont use equipment that looks like that....

 

Yeah they probably use the hooks/sticks and stuff. Anyways i ended up ordering it. I got it Brand new fore $264 shipped after rebates. So i think i got a good deal. We will have to see how it works, and ill report back in..

 

Agree with the others. No PDR shop I've been to uses that.
They use the rods that go behind the body panels to smooth out the dents.

That looks like it would only work on large dents which are not typical.

 

Well i got my shipment yesterday and put it to use. On my fridge door (stainless steel) i had 2 small dents, so i figured i would practice on that first The instructions say the panel surface must be between 65-80 degrees, which of course isn't advertised before you buy it. The fridge door panel felt "cool" to the touch, but i figured i would try it anyways... I applied the hot glue to the plastic thing, let it setup on the dent and cool/harden i then applied my PDR tool to it and applied pressure. The piece/glue ended up pulling off the fridge before the dent was pulled. So i must have tried it 2-3x more applying more glue each time, and had the same results. So i figured i would try it out on what it was meant for... a car. Had the same results as the fridge. I even heated up the panel with a blow dryer to get it a little warmer thinking that was the problem.. It wasnt... I even caked the puller head with glue all around and it still pulled off the car... This tool is a FAIL, and i already have it shipping back today for a credit.

 

Don't say Acurazine didn't warn ya!
