I wanted to start learning PDR about 3 years ago! Wish I would have started sooner. Thank you for the very informative videos 🙏, still understanding why what and when before I commit to buying anything.

NIce...covers ground stuff, I think... I was interested that you preferred the slide hammer, as it seems to me that it requires more "feel" to use, vs. the lifter 'jack', which seems to be adjustable, and gives a beginner more options?? I've seen video swith both, of course, but have only tried the 'jack' type, myself... Good advice on the bars, too. Thanks!

Thanks, the slide hammer and lifter have different effects on the panel, the slide hammer is great for pulling larger areas that a lifter will not cover but you also get a nice 'shock effect' which can be ideal for small round dents to allow you to quickly move across multiple small dents. I think its important to have both but agree the lifter may be easier for a beginner to get a feel for pulling.

Hey is that double bend interchangeable tip rod a 24” or 30”? Also which would be better to start out with?
@LearnPDROnline
17 сағат бұрын
I believe mine is a 26" however the length doesn't matter too much, in my opinion anything between 22-30 will be fine to get started. In the UK and Europe our bonnets (aka hoods) are usually smaller than those in the US so it also depends on the panel you are working on but in my experience these lengths are a pretty good base point to start practicing with. The double bend is important though as for me that gives the best angle to begin pushing with.

hi what the length of this bar?? Im a begginer. Thank you👍
@LearnPDROnline

The bar length we generally start with is between 24 - 28 inches, this is a pretty good ‘all rounder’ choice particularly if you are just starting to get a feel for the tools, long enough to get good leverage but short enough to still get your head close to the repair to see what you’re doing!

There is no set length as it depends on what you are practicing on, how far that damage is from you will determine the best length., however when we start training we usually start with a double bend bar anywhere between 24 Inch and 30 inch in length. 👍

Do you sell a quality kit with the tools you mention? I see kits on Amazon but not sure if they are worth it for the DIY guy?
@LearnPDROnline
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Dan, we do not sell tools ourselves, I have never tried the cheap kits on amazon my advice would be to buy from a reputable PDR tool supplier such as TDN Tools. Cheaper kits from ebay and amazon may well increase the chance of damaging the paintwork which could cost more in the long run...

Can you remove a dent only using glue and knockdown? I have a crease where you cannot get behind with bar in the back wing of an Octavia 1Z3. It is inside the to the panel spot welded reinforcement bar.
@LearnPDROnline

Yes we regularly remove dents without getting behind them. it does depend on the dent, how stretched it is etc but it certainly is possible to remove some dents from the outside only. We have a few videos here this channel showing glue pull only. Generally with crease dents i am using dead centre crease tabs with a mini lifter :)

@LearnPDROnline

Good spot, I left out the heat gun, this was partly because I wanted to cover PDR specific tools, I usually use a hair dryer or basic hot air gun for applying heat and consider this more of an accessory item but you are right, that should have been mentioned in my video, thanks for the letting me know. Yes some form of heat gun is also a good choice! This can be a hot air gun from a DIY hardware store or a hair dryer from most homeware shops...

Went to a body shop and got a door and gave up after trying to remove dents I put in it. Found when I scrapped it that it was aluminum and not the best to train on.
@LearnPDROnline
2 жыл бұрын
Yep, aluminium is tough to learn on, steel has a memory so its 'easier' to reform the metal back to its original shape. its still important to learn aluminium but we usually recommend mastering the basic skills on steel panels first, don't give up though just pick up another panel and keep pushing for perfection my friend!
