What is a car dent repair tool?
2 Answers
Car dent repair tools generally utilize the lever principle, applying outward force to pull out the dented part. The following is a related introduction about car configurations: Tire pressure monitoring function: The tire pressure of a car plays a very important role during driving. If the tire pressure varies, during the car's movement, fuel consumption often increases, tire noise becomes louder, and passenger comfort is greatly reduced. The tire pressure monitoring function can monitor the tire pressure condition of each tire in real time and display it on the car's onboard computer in real time. Main and co-pilot airbags: For the safety of those sitting in the most dangerous positions in the car, although the effect of airbags is far less than that of seat belts, even an additional 1% safety indicator can save a life.
There are quite a few car dent repair tools available. I've personally fixed door dents several times using two main types: suction cup and pull-type tools. The suction cup method works like a household toilet plunger—press it onto the dent and pull hard, suitable for large shallow dents on flat surfaces. Pull-type tools usually require a hot glue gun—first attach a specialized pull tab to the dent, then use matching tools to gradually pull the metal back into shape. Magnetic patch kits are also quite effective for sheet metal bodies, allowing direct attachment and adjustable pulling angles. You can buy a complete toolset online for just a few hundred yuan, but before starting, it's advisable to clean the repair area to avoid scratching the paint with sand particles. If the dent is on body edges or in areas with complex internal structures, it's safer to leave it to professional technicians, as DIY attempts might worsen the situation.
