On of the guys I know, used one of the suction cup types to remove a small dent. It popped it out pretty well, but I would only recommend it for small dents. I have not used the above ones you linked.

Used a few dent pullers in my time, but never used one that required GLUE to adhere to suface. On TV, the bridge type, shows glue being applied to suction cup, then placed over dent, the screwed down onto the panel. After dent is "pulled" out, the tool is removed. They never show how suction cup filled with glue is removed, or what damage it does to the paint.
Best to get inside the panel and work from there with specialty paddles.

i don't have the same exact one that you posted a link to in your original thread, but i do have the one shown in the ebay link. i agree w/ shinobi, you should only use this to pull small dents. i've used it twice now on my fd and the dents have come out nicely. once the dent is out you are able to pull the suction cup off and use the glue remover solution and your finger to just roll the glue back. it doesn't affect the paint at all.

I'm not sure if I should just purchase a dent remover or just have a pro take out some of the door dings on my FD.

Hi guys,

I own a PDR company and I can tell you all this systems only work if the dent you have is really parcial and easy. There is no way you can completely repair a normal or deep dent with this method. This systems started to sell only to us techs to repair dents is doble metal areas.

I used to have one but I really dont like the results compair to my traditional work. I have to options when I repair a dent, weather the dent comes out a 90 to 100% or simply I dont charge for it.

Find a good and reputable tech in your area. When I bought my R2 the only bad thing this car had is that some bad tech drilled hidden parts of the car to get access to dents. So make sure your tech does not do that.

I hope this will work for you!
