Sure . They are boat winches from harbor freight . They work incredibly well for pulling dents .

@@SWMIPDR Ok, but the blue handles look different from the ones I see on Harbor Freight?

@@phototec there were a couple different versions of the winches at harbor freight . They had these in stock at the store . The online store might be different I don’t know . But you should be able to make any of the hand winches work .

Dents are priced by the inch . There is a pricing chart on my website www.SWMIPDR.com

How is this working out???

Probably around 4 hrs . I had 5 hrs into it total .

@@SWMIPDRwould you mind me asking what you charge for stuff like that? Do you believe in charging off time or level of difficulty/craftsmanship?

@@JohnnyBravo02 I price the dents by the inch , as well as the depth and sharpness . I also take into account how much a body shop would charge to do the repair . I also give a pretty substantial discount to people paying out of pocket . I charged $800 for this one.

@@SWMIPDR hell yeah do. That’s a good days work. As good as you are you could do two of these day if you wanted to I’m sure . I’m 27 and have made a good reputation and resume for myself as a very good collision repair technician in South Georgia, I’m investing time and resources into glue pulling and working towards learning actual PDR. Which with being a body technician I have plenty of time to practice everyday and still get paid and if it has to be painted then that’s fine , that’s why it’s there. But once im good enough I want to start doing PDR for myself outside of work and eventually work towards having my own shop doing collision repair and PDR. But PDR takes a lot less capital and overhead , so it’s a great bridge I feel to help me reach my end goal and honestly if you can PDR something it’s absolutely the cleanest / highest quality repair option I respect the hell out of you guys and appreciate y’all getting me out my bubble and really showing me what you can do without doing body work and painting . Never would’ve thought some of what y’all do was even possible

@@SWMIPDR have you tested out that mobile tech rx estimating app at all?

Yes, 1/2 raised stanliner rounded head snake tool .

@@SWMIPDR thanks mate. It's hard the decided what tool to get from them when most of the videos are basically clips and you don't see the application of use. 🙏

@@valliwulf if you follow stanliner on Facebook they have started showing some of the uses for their tools. I only have 10 stanliner tools so far , but I will say they are my favorite rods now that I know how to use them .

Thank you very much . This was the most difficult repair I’ve done yet .

Use your own brain, if you still can. Don't expect folks to do EVERYTHING for you, unless you prefer being seen as an entitled, lazy brat

Thank you Michael! That means a lot to me! I always give it my best effort , very glad your happy with it!

I am using metal medic green jujitsu glue, if it’s a newer Subaru the paint is totally fine for glue pulling . It’s the older ones that have problems .

@@SWMIPDR so a simple Amazon kit that has random glue sticks, would those be okay you think? Not sure how much it would cost for someone to come out and fix it but figured I could do it myself if it’s cheap and safe enough. Dont mind buying the glue that more professionals use, just once all that’s added up its 100 buck easy or a $40 kit on Amazon just comes with different glues and people are guessing which to use etc but instructions suck

@@dailydrivenmedia_ I have to warn you there is a Lot more to it than just putting a tab on the dent and pulling . This is what training is for . As well most pdr techs have a 35% up charge for a dent that was previously attempted . If this was a simple job everybody would be doing it . Go ahead and try it yourself , but don’t be surprised when you can’t make the dent go away completely.

@@SWMIPDR I gotcha, will prob get a quote from a place and if it’s too high I’ll attempt it myself but appreciate you getting back to me!
