Panel Beating Hammers & Dollies / Body Repair Kit - AB Tools - TE101

This kit is ideal for minor cosmetic repairs such as small dents, dings, and smoothing out ripples on vehicle body panels. It is not intended for major structural damage or heavy collision repair.

Fiberglass handles are durable. Keep them clean and dry. Inspect them regularly for any cracks or signs of damage, and discontinue use if damage is found.

These tools are designed primarily for metal body panels. Using them on plastic parts could cause damage or breakage to the plastic.

The kit includes a Standard bumping hammer for general reshaping, a Pick and finish hammer for finer detail work and smoothing, and a Reverse curve hammer for accessing concave areas.

Dollies are placed on the underside of a panel to provide a firm surface. The hammer strikes the exterior of the panel, and the dolly supports the metal, helping to push out dents or shape the panel.

The kit comes in a blow-molded plastic storage case designed for durability and protection of the tools during storage and transportation.

If a tool, particularly the fiberglass handle, shows signs of damage such as cracks, it should be taken out of service immediately to prevent injury and further damage.

Inspect the handle connection. If a metal wedge is visible, ensure it is fully seated. For fiberglass handles, this indicates a potential failure and the tool should not be used.

Minor scratches may not significantly impact performance for initial shaping. For critical finishing, consider using a dolly with a smoother surface or a finishing file. Replace dollies with significant damage.

Ensure the rubber overlay and your hands are clean and dry. If the grip material is worn, consider aftermarket grip tape for added friction.

Ensure the correct tool is being placed in its designated slot. The case is molded to fit specific shapes. If a slot is damaged, this may affect secure storage.
