GLISTON 45pcs Paintless Dent Repair Tool Dent Puller Kit, Adjustable Width, Pops a Dent Car Dent Removal Kit, Golden Lifter, Bridge Puller& Glue Gun for Automobile Body Motorcycle Refrigerator

My wife's car was hit in a parking lot and they left before she got back. There were no creases in the metal so I thought maybe I could do this. I decided to watch a lot of YouTube videos on using these before I made a purchase and I'd suggest everyone do the same. From what I saw, this kit seemed like it would do what I needed. I'll share some pros and cons at the end. The kit arrived with no issues and I came up with a way to practice before getting started. I have a 25 year old Tacoma that has a few dings. I started there and learned a few things. First the biggest investment you need to make is time. The dents don't come out in one pull. Also, if you don't wait long enough for the glue to cool, You've wasted time and glue. I found that starting with the bigger tabs was best. The metal dent lifter is strong and what I used the most. The the plastic puller works ok, but it's not as strong. The advantage it has is that the feet are farther apart and can help getting larger dents started. As you progress it gets a little challenging to see where you need to make your next pull from. On videos they show expensive lights you can get that do a great job. I found that a six in metal ruler, held across the dent, does a nice job of showing where your low spot is. If you have a metal putty knife or anything you are sure is straight, that should be just as good. Having a pencil to track your low spots to glue comes in handy too. My pros & cons on this kit. It came with an alcohol bottle, but it was empty as noted. Perhaps trying to ship it is a challenge, but no big deal as long as you are prepared. Alcohol is a must have to use the kit. A lesson learned was that 70% alcohol doesn't work well at all. Get 90% or better. The kit comes with two different glue sticks but no mention of what to use or when. I'm still not an expert here but I found that the black seems to separate as one piece when it releases, more often than the yellow. Also that it was easier, for me, to work with the black adhesive on the tabs on the white plastic puller that the ones on the metal unit. This is only because getting the black glue off the curved tabs on the metal puller seemed more difficult. You may have different results. Some reviews were critical of the glue gun. I had no issues. I had a spare already, but didn't need it. Do be sure to give it 10-15 minutes before you start by getting it plugged in before you do anything else. The kit includes a tap that seems a bit questionable. In videos I watched they were soft plastic or leather tipped. This one is plastic and comes top a point. I avoided using this as it seemed like it should have more of a rounded surface. Summary: Overall, the repair I did with this kit on the car was perfect. I have some more hail damage on the Tacoma I'll get back to, and maybe even get it painted after I'm done. There are larger more expensive kits available, but this one did everything I needed. If anything an upgrade to the plastic tap would be nice, but you can get those separately if needed. Hope all that helps. Oh, one more suggestion. If you have more than one dent try to work on both at the same time. The reason for that is the time you need to wait on the glue to cool down adds up. If you have two, or more, tabs cooling down at the same time, you are saving a lot of time on waiting.

I bought this kit after testing a friend's similar set. I was surprised to see, that the kit we have purchased is of the same good quality as our friend's set, but less expensive. It comes with a small bag, which can fit additional equipment and has a good variety of rubber puller taps. The procedure discribed in the included instructions to remove a dent is pretty easy and almost self-explaining. Additionaly, there is an easy-to-follow explanation in the product description online. The results are great - the dents are just gone. Be sure to polish after using the glue and alcohol to get the best results. So far we have just used the equipment to pull out dents. Those items used, seem very sturdy and well manufactured. But also the pry tools seem to be sturdy and durable. It is a great product and I can highly recommend it.

My goal was to remove dents from an aluminum garage door versus replacing the expensive garage door panels. To that end, I learned the following. The black glue gun rods were useless. The clear rods worked. The first pass would peel the paint off but the second pass actually adhered to the aluminum. In deep creases in the aluminum, by starting at the shallow end of the crease, it was easier to pull the deeper part of the crease. IOW, I was gradually raising the crease/dent. Later on, I heated the garage door panel with my heat gun which made the glue tabs adhere better. The heat also softened the aluminum making it easier to pull. In small dots caused by projectiles, nothing would pull them out. The biggest nuisance was removing old glue from the tabs. Before I attempt to pull the dents on my wife's car, I used my garage door to get experience.

What I like: It does work once you get the method down. Some reviewers say it doesn't work at all. I had the same experience at first. It works really good now with some learning curve and additions to the kit. Here are the keys I found to getting it to work. 1. get the glue hot. Let the gun heat for 10 minutes or so, even though they say it is ready after 3 to 5 minutes. 2. let the glue dry for at least 5 minutes. I started letting it set for 10 minutes(sometimes overpulls though). 3. if the kit is the $52 kit it doesn't have the tap down pen. Get one of these for about $9, it is worth it and works like a charm to fix the overpulls. 4. get some different glue tabs. It was taking me 5 or more pulls to get a small hail dent out. There is only one tab small enough to work on hail dents or door dings in the whole kit. With the timings I give above that is an hour per dent, ridiculous. I ordered a tab set for about $15 and it had another 5 small tabs that I could use. All of these tabs worked much better than the original one in the kit. The dents pull on the first or second try most of the time now. I have about 100 hail dents so this made me very happy. What I don't like: I had to buy extra tabs and then found the original tabs don't work well compared to other brands. I can only speak to the smallest tab in performance. I think the kit should have more small tabs, especially since the description says that one of it's functions is for hail dents. The glue gun in the kit is not a standard size. It works fine, but when you run out of glue sticks and order more sticks of the same brand as the kit, they don't fit the gun. There are apparently standard size and mini size. I have not been able to find the mini size sticks, only the 11mm standard sticks. So, I had to buy a new glue gun as well. In summary, the kit with additions works pretty well. But being sold as a "kit" I would have expected there to be everything for it to work well. The key word is well. I was able to get it to pull dents as the original kit, but very inefficiently. 5 plus tries for a single dent, after getting the process down. I had to spend another $40 on additional pieces to get the system to work "well".

Bought a used Lexus that came with a dime sized dent in fender from what looked like shopping cart damage, super unpleasant to look at if you know it's there but small enough not to REALLY notice. Got quoted $350 from a paintless dent removal service so figured would try this before going that route. Let me tell you, this product really works - I couldn't believe my eyes. It definitely took probably 8-10 tries but the dent came out and its smooth as it was when the car left the factory. The product comes with a million attachments of various sizes. They are round, oval, square. Comes with two different color glue sticks, black and clear. The clear seemed to work best for my application. Definitely try doing this when the weather is above 50 degrees and apply the glue quickly to the dent after you put it on the attachment. Take your time and go slow. At first it will seem like it's not working, to the point where you will want to give up. Just keep trying different attachments, make sure to follow the guide included with the product, it tells you which attachment approximately for the size of the dent. Like I said earlier, took about 8-10 tries for a dime size dent in a very annoying spot and I went through 2 glue sticks but the results speak for themselves. Awesome product overall

I wanted it to work. I was rooting for it and sincerely hoping it’s a great solution! Alas, it does NOT work AT ALL. Your paying for a lot of cheap plastic and a glue gun! I tried the two different tools (the white tool with a screw on the plastic piece, and the standard metal tool), neither was effective in any shape or form. I tried them on different cars and different type of dents; on light flexible metal (trunk ) and on more strong metal (car doors). Not even a hint of success. I followed instructions (it’s not rocket science) and nothing happens other than glue residue stuck on the paint. I tired different amount of glue and different attachments; NO CHANGE. The theory is that the glue is strong enough to pull the metal, yet weak enough to come off without damage. It does come off, but does not pull the metal. I tried different size attachments, nothing really works! In reality, you can pull the attachments by hand (no need for anything else) since the glue is not that strong. Save yourself the disappointment and money. Either learn to live with the dents or Go to a pro! That’s what I will do! Will return first thing in the morning. PS, I was offered $20 Amazon gift card by the seller in return for my honest opinion. I am declining the offer and still giving my true honest opinion! The gift card may explain the high ratings for this useless product!

Very surprised at how well this worked

I was quite surprised at how well this thing worked. At first I did not hold out much hope as I purchased this to pop a dent on a 1996 Yamaha Virago gas tank - if you are not familiar with motorcycle gas tanks, they are quite a bit thicker than your average car fender, unless you are talking about cars from the 50's and older. Apparently the previous owner dropped the bike off the center stand and put a dent large enough to lay your thumb in across a rounded part of the tank, but though there was a dent, the paint was perfect, so I thought I would try this thing. I watched a few videos online before attempting, I looked at the shape of the dent, picked the right 'arbor', loaded it up with glue and started with that gold colored squeeze lever puller. It took a bit of pressure, but all of a sudden 'bang', popped it almost completely out. A couple more pulls with smaller arbors in different spots, I can barely see where the dent was. Since then I have used it on a few of my customers vehicles - more as a courtesy as I am a residential type handyman, though I do wind up performing maintenance / repair on a few of my customers cars and bikes.

The glue stuckks on my car paint much more stronger than on the gasket. As a result there is no way to pull the dent out. Worst, repeated several times on the same spot, you will see scratches having to scrap off glue. Sent the seller for suggestion 1 week ago, but I don't see any reply.

Not effective at all and waste of money
