Pulling Dents With a Vevor Stud Welder!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- After our failure with the Hot Glue Gun we decided to buy this Vevor Stud Welder/Puller and use it to pull the dents on our 1968 Valiant wagon. We started off badly but finished strongly in the end.
We also now have merchendise available, so head to scottysgarage.... and check out what we have to offer.
Congrats to Colin Lane for winning our Sidchrome Nano kit.

And this is why when you take a car to a body repair shop you get a quote you drop a nugget and decide to have a crack at home DIY but then go back to the shop with a tail between the legs with the cheque book....Respect to body shop repairers they are worth what they ask...great video mate...
take it to a body shop, spend 50k on a car that's work 20k? I think this is the whole reason he's doing a diy build
@@benni727 for sure if you have the skill set to have a crack and save dollars....why not....for me I'm a person that will try but end up needing help
Which is what i did with my bent Alfa. BUT, lots of us want to, like to, work our how to DIY. There's pride in learning new stuff. Also... $$$ are a consideration.
Sounds to me you are watching the wrong channel not everyone has the luxury to just ship a car out and have it done many of us do the best we can with what we can do don’t like it fk off
or you spend a few hundy bucks and a night a week at your local tafe
and learn a new skill along with the confidence to diy
A couple of hints. Metal has a "memory", so it "wants" to go back to its original shape. The longer you leave it, the more the memory fades. Second. If you heat the panel with a heat gun, it will move more easily. That is: it gets "softer" when it's hot. Brilliant trial and error vid. Including the Galahs! Also, when we try something new, we always seem to do it in the most convenient places. Best to learn in the hidden spots, like inner guards, floors, inside of doors etc.
You know why a dent wants to go back to what it was? Because the edges and lines of a panel hold its shape together that is why when repairing damage and file finishing they are the first things you you fix because if they aren’t right nothing else will be, it doesn’t matter if a dent has been in panel for 70 years it will as long as your lines and edges are correct and the dent is not stretched to buggery it will always want to be it was.
Trial & error Scotty! You did pretty well there for someone who's never used the Vevor dent puller before. Keep at it mate & then you'll get your mates over asking them to fix their dents!
@@1969Risky please no
I’m no expert in any of this but I was watching a video the other day with the guy that is fixing the million mile Lexus and he said to start on the outside of the dent and work your way in to the centre.
Thanks for the hard work Scotty and good luck mate.
Cheers Pat
Peter the Phantom Puller saaaaays, Its all in the Wrist :-)
Cyril says........Mmmmmm
Glad it sorta worked out in the end. It was good pulling (that’s what she said).
Might have to grab one of those stubby coolers for the collection 😉
Scotty I’ve got one of those different brand but exactly the same and never had any luck with the wiggle wire sticking, but the stud nails work great. I think I bypassed the over heat protection after having the same issue
vevor brand tools! the gift that keeps on giving 8-)
Hey Scotty another tip when using the claw attach ment connect a ratchet strap to have a constant tension on it an tap around the repair to release tension in the metal as the metal has memory and some times when using the pins when they break off they can leave a whole in the metal
Ordered one myself from Vevor website and was cheaper than I saw elsewhere and arrived within about a week. I've also found the "washers" to be useless so far but using the pins have given great results. I did get frustrated with the slide hammer pin puller head that kept slipping off the pins but got some M8 all thread from Bunnings, cut a bit down and put one end in the hook attachment / the other in a pair of vice grips and it's working great.
Hey big guy !
Love ya work.
Can't wait to see this wagon all done!
Money's a bit tight but I did order a sticker pack and truckies cap this week.
Hopefully get a T shirt next week.
Cheers from Penrith again.
@paulmartin3340 thanks mate
@@blownhemi
No .... thank you for the entertainment!
Thanks Scotty, I wondered if those pullers were any good.
Ohh the joys. After all the effort it's well worth it and cheaper.🎉
Love the work Scotty i wanted to try this myself just wasnt sure if it was gonna be a waste of time good to see it gives out some results 👌🏼
Cool roof s looking real good and a BIG block sweet
Good job Scotty 👍🇦🇺
Scotty if you decide you've had enough of the tools, I think there is a catwalk waiting for you...
I've boycotted Hammerbarn snags Scotty. It's outrageous!
@@sheel2 I dug out enough change for two, or so I thought.
Thanks for the video
Heat it up a bit first before having a pull. Start either side of the dent and work into the middle. You can just use a mig welder to tack those washers on. I've also used bolts and used a nut to wind the dent out.
@@dinosshed I've done that as well
@blownhemi you should see the car I'm repairing at the moment. It's a track car that got punted so hard the hatch back didn't exist.
Hi Scotty, I'm a little late to the party, so I hope this message finds you well. Your fellow RUclipsr D3Sshooter did a couple of videos on the Vevor a few months ago. You might want to check if your model has the upgraded controller motherboard with the 80 Amp TRIAC instead of the 40 Amp TRIAC? Maybe also look to see if there is a heatsink attached to it? Seemed to really do the trick for Steve (D3Sshooter) on his Vevor Stud Welder/Puller. Maybe Vevor will provide the upgraded controller motherboard under warranty?
Good onya for having a go at something else your not familiar with, looks like with some more experience it will be well worth the purchase price . All you need is a cheap dyno machine and you wouldn't need to outsource much work out😊. Just finished my order as well 👍
@@rustymonaro184 thanks mate
Looking good
Hey Scotty, on that 6x puller thing, you actually meant to use a small steel rod though it and then you can use basically as many keys as you want in a line (holes all lined up)
The original factory colour looks pretty good.
Yeah, I wish they hadn't painted it orange
Didn't use the discount code. Good stuff Scotty, cheers.
The option is always there, but it's appreciated
Who makes a tool that over heats after 4 tacks 😅 that would do my head in, glad i seen this b4 i bought one 👍
@alanjones99 I had given it a heavy workout before that, but yeah, it was frustrating
when pulling the pins you actually slip the slip the slide hammer down on to the head of the puller and tighten it using the slide hammer instead of tightening it onto the pins by hand or with a shifter
I realised that afterwards, it's actually a pretty good system. I didn't realise at that time that the weight had a hex in the bottom to lock it up
@@blownhemi yeah I just told another fella today who had his dent fix for 4 years and he’s been tightening it with a shifter
Stud puller, i need one😁
It was worth it. At the start I was disappointed but by the end I was very happy
I married mine,her name is Lisa.😂
Look up Arthur Tussik channel he's a panel man who brings cars back to life, the spot welder attachment holder drill a hole and tap the broken piece use a screw/ bolt to hold the attachments on - fixed
Spoon dolly
Colin Lane as in Lano in Lano and Woodley?
@@Lazy_Tim my wife said the same thing, but I don't think so
"OH ZIF"
Well, enjoy, after many years of watching. I hope it goes gang busters
Oh wait, mmm, that hoodie
Interesting
👍🏼
@@andrewcabrera4115 store should work now Andy
I don’t know where you get that tool from spot Jim remove
Those pin guns are great, did you get your hand with the slide hammer yet?
@@philb386 not yet :)
Shove it in the fridge it will cool down faster...
What if you heated the metal before you did the pull would get metal memory happening
@@Amack1964 it's a theory
Hey scotty trying to order shirts comes back with no delivery method to my address i live in sydney
@andrewcabrera4115 that's interesting, let me check
Did the snag come with onions ?
@@colinreid9303 yes
😜👍🇦🇺
I was a bit worried about China's military might, now not so much🤭
Use the nails heaps quicker , and you can hold weight on them and hammer around the nail and transfer metal into the dent, that gun is painful Scotty 🤬
@@jonling5173 it works, but it is a bit slow
I didn't know that dent was there. There was no way you were ever going to get that out with the hot glue gun. Can't say I am overly impressed with the new one. Probably came out of China. Everything Chinese is prone to over heating.
@@DodgyBrothersEngineering everything is from China these days
@@blownhemi yes unfortunately that is true. They are available on Aliexpress so that confirms country of origin. But if you are prepared to take your time and not try and use it for professional use I guess it would do the job. Hopefully they will send you a new bit that broke. Can you add a bit of extra weight to your slide? Might make getting the dents out a bit easier.
@DodgyBrothersEngineering the slide is quite heavy already, I think if it was heavier, it might pull the metal too hard
@@blownhemi yeah I was watching how much it was moving with each hit. A bit more weight might just give you a little bit more control. But then you would need to exercise some self control.
Scottys smash repairs
Yep you gave them over $100 for them to send your details to another company. These types of spot welders have been around since the 80's just expensive. There are some really good videos out there on how to pull a line out with them in one go near perfect.
