"as seen on TV'

Tried the Ding King, dent puller today, damm thing was pretty impressive for a cheepo,,,got all the door and flat spot dents out, a little hard to get the ones close to creases and rounded areas,,,but the local drug store said if it dont work for ya just bring it back,,,,,I give it two thumbs up for doing a pretty good job on the 7..

What size dings can it remove? It looks like it would only work on a sizable dent.

Most dents are not too repairable without paintless dent removal, unless you can emulate the process they use effectively. This is because the metal has been "shaped" from the object that caused the ding. I had VERY VERY serious hail damage which was too much for the process. Tennis ball size hail. Luckily no broken windows.

Larger dents can be pulled out with a plunger if its the type that isn't creased too bad. I pulled out a couple this way with good success.
