I have both 1/2 and 3/8 tools, in this video I believe my double bend screw tip bar is 3/8 I don't have the individual dentcraft tip numbers to hand but for this example any bar that has similar double bend with a variety of tips will work fine. As a general rule, the softer the dent the sorfter/broader the tip or sharper dent = sharper tip. Ultimately, you have to try a few tips under pressure to get a feel for which one is most suitable le for the damage you are repairing. Testing them on a panel as shown here is a great way to figure it out before testing then on your clients vehicle!
@LearnPDROnline thank you for the info. I had a good set of pdr tools but didn't use most of them. Started in the industry years ago and saw his money to be made. But for whatever reason I chased the nutritional industry. Enjoy your educational videos

Thanks Ace, when I'm picking out micro lows I am often using something like a B2 or R4 however not creating further highs is more to do with skill and less to do with tip selection so further practice and or training is another great 'tip' 👍
@@LearnPDROnline thanks.. im practicing as much as i can and just struggle to take out that tiny pimple in the middle (just that last 5%).. its driving me crazy.. i will continue to practicing a few more week and then seriously considering joining Learn PDR online.
@@maj6150 Yes the last low spot is often the trickiest, if you are working on a practise panel and struggling with the accuracy for the last micro low, try lifting the whole area very slightly and then tapping down everywhere but the low, I often find myself intentionally creating a high so I can tap the metal back from the outside, another method is to open up the dent, if you cant get on the last low, tap around it to open the dent up ie make it bigger, this will make the low more accessible to lift the centre and then bring in the remaining metal to suit
Hi thanks for comment, yes I generally use the following three places for PDR tools in the UK kecotabs.co.uk/ and www.pdrprotools.co.uk/ and bletools.com/
Thanks for the comment and the positive feedback, much appreciated... I usually get my PDR tools from either TDN Tools (Peterborough) or BLE Tools (Bristol) but you can also check out Pdrprotools online, these three should give you all the tools you need. 👍🏻
Im trying to find this bar to buy online. is it a 24", 26" or 30"? Also you said it was a AB tools bar but i cannot find a website for AB PDR Tools. Any help would be much apprecated. Like your videos btw! Very helpful!
Thank you, depends where you are based as to where to purchase from, here's one in the UK - pdrprotools.co.uk/double-bend-multitipped-tool-long-p-684.html and here is one from USA - ansonpdr.com/en-gb/collections/21-30/products/tequila-tornillo-double-bend-interchangeable-tip-6-rods-fixed-handle?variant=40464649978024 👍
@@LearnPDROnline Thanks for the reply! I ordered a dent craft 24" double bend yesterday! ill prob end up getting a hail or single 30" bar when i get good enough to make some cash! Cheers!
As a general rule, yes... however I will take each dent on its own merit and assess the best tools and methods. Usually we start with larger tips to reduce the dent's overall size and then gradually reduce the tip size as the dents is reduced
This is a great beginner video. Great Job!!!!
Thanks Buddy, so many tips to choose from right?
Can you tell me the list of tip numbers from dent raft please? Is your rod 1/2" diameter or 3/8"? Thanknyou

Thanks David, I appreciate your comment
What tip would you recommend to pick out micro lows for a newbie? Without causing further highs. Thanks.

So let me ask this the bigger the dent the bigger the tool tip
