LadyRosian22PCS Dent Repair Rods Tools Paintless Dent Repair Stainless Steel Kits with S-Hook for Car Auto Body Dents Hail Damage Removal Set

The stiffness and quality of this tool are surprisingly good. The tap down takes the same tips as the rod, so you get a lot of options for your repair. The tips are serviceable -- just nylon and metal, no rubber or PVC, but it's an inexpensive tool so that's too be expected. My only complaint is the nylon heads do snap if put under too much pressure, and I wish it came with an extension piece for the rod, as some areas I'm trying to work on I can't hit because of the very open angle of the tool.PDR is quite a time consuming and meticulous skill, I'm enjoying using this tool and some home made accessories as a first step. Don't purchase if you think you'll be able to take care of dents easily — it really is a labor intensive skill.

This rod is just shy of a half inch thick. Forget about sliding it down a door panel or under the hood bracing. This might work for fender repair but as far as snaking inside panels, forget it.
