Please don't put a dent on your car. lol

You crazy guys doing dry ice bombs. If you look on the link I posted in one of my posts there is a link that talks about dry ice bombs with a pic of some guy that wasn't so lucky when the cap from the bottle hit him between the eyes. OUCH!

That dry ice is dangerous stuff. Handle with care and thick gloves please! Girls don't like one eyed guys, or black fingers from frostbite. LOL

Will this work on a dent that's about an inch deep and a spread-hand's width and length? Or is that too big?

Works best on hail sized dents, round ones. Larger dents and those that are elongated usually require a dolly and shrinking hammer.

Mine does. There is a cabinet up front, after the checkout. If in doubt, you could always ask an associate.
