PDR tools remove dents while keeping the original paint, suitable for hail damage, door dings and small creases. In workshop use you access the panel rear with rods or employ glue pulls where back access is limited, then refine with controlled tap‑downs and light knockdowns. Select tools to suit the panel curvature and metal gauge; correct length, tip profile and shaft stiffness determine how much leverage and control you get.
Select rod sets for internal access and glue kits where access is restricted.
Match tip shape to the panel contour and metal thickness.
Prefer stiff shafts and ergonomic handles for precise, repeatable force.
