FAQs
What material is the slide hammer made of?
The slide hammer is made from durable carbon steel for strength and longevity.
What is the total length of the slide hammer?
The total length of the slide hammer is 65 cm.
Can this tool fix sharp creases?
The robust hook design allows it to pull out severe dents, which can include some types of creases, but effectiveness may vary depending on the severity and nature of the crease.
Is this tool suitable for beginners?
While the handling is simple, achieving optimal results on severe dents may require some practice. It is well-suited for both professional workshops and home users with some experience.
How does the slide hammer work to remove dents?
The slide hammer mechanism uses the momentum of the sliding weight to create a powerful pulling force via the hook, effectively drawing out the dent from the bodywork.
What is the outer diameter of the slide hammer?
The outer diameter of the slide hammer is 68 mm.
Troubleshooting
Hook not gripping the dent effectively
Ensure the dent is clean and dry. For non-sharp dents, consider using a compatible dent puller tab that can be bonded to the panel for the hook to grip.
Slide hammer feels loose
Check that the hook is securely fastened to the slide hammer shaft. If the shaft itself feels loose, ensure no internal damage has occurred.
Limited pulling force on very deep dents
While designed for severe dents, extremely deep or creased damage may require multiple pulling attempts or combination with other repair techniques. Ensure the hook is placed as close to the apex of the dent as possible.
