I had been looking at tools to remove gas tank dents. I read about the kits with a series of shaped rods but really felt the learning curve was going to be pretty steep. Just to much I don't know about metal stressing (including the terminology) and not enough years left to learn all I should. So, I ended up buying a puller that straddles the dent and pulls on a shaped plastic piece hot glued to the dent. It's more of a "brute force and ignorance" then finesse tool, more my type. It works really well. Cup shaped dents with no creasing will pop out cleanly. Not a lot of experience yet but I've found that where there was a crease I can still feel a little distortion at the pucker point (another technical term) but it's a spot putty fix now.
I can't say it is paint less as the glue pulled a paint flake off at the crease. However the smooth dents it will pull without any paint marks. I have no doubt that I will get better at reading the dent and then do a better job of pulling the rough spots. Should work on fenders as well.
The puller is solidly built with a nice finish. The plastic anchors seem tough with many shapes and sizes. You can buy replacements cheaply. The instructions are near useless. Delivery was about a month, slow boat from China, but it was free.
$40.00Cdn ($30.00US). For the price this is a great tool. Almost any dent, in anything, will cost you more than $40 on resale.
