Looking to get a Glue Puller PDR kit, what do you think about this one?

The "3-in-1" PDR Slide Hammer Glue Pulling Dent Repair Kit for Hail Damage and Door Dings : Amazon.com : Automotive



This one looks really complete and has multiple puller types. What do you think about this.

Anything else I'll need besides a knock down tool and a stripe board?



How much are you guys charging for glue pull work?

I mostly want this to play with on my truck but then would use it at least enough to pay back the cost.

I have a couple of bridge type glue pullers. I'm sure a real pro can comment on how they are supposed to work, but for a hack like me, they just aren't as accurate as a regular PDR rods.

Never bought the kit, but have built up the same basics over the past few years.

Word of advice, go pick up a damaged hood or truck lid, put various types of dents in it and "practice, practice, pratice", cause if you screw up, it gets expensive.

"practice, practice, pratice", cause if you screw up, it gets expensive.

And just like with touchup paint/sanding/polishing/etc know when to stop. If it looks ALMOST perfect...leave it alone!!!!

The above was my first go. Still haven't done much more after that, thankfully!

Save your money, dont buy tools until you get training. PDR is a skill that takes years to perfect. When you glue pull a dent it does not just pull level and stop. You will need to know how tap that metal back in place , how to read a fog or light board, hand eye coordination, and muscle memory. Not trying to discourage you, it is a great money maker. But it takes a large investment on your part.
