took the plunge on this dent puller. It's the cheapest aluminum dent puller on the market. I will update this review as I gain more experience with it but so far everything looks high end.
The aluminum collet requires two grounds and comes with a bag of magnesium studs for 6000 series of aluminum and a bag of silicone studs for 5000 series
aluminum. The Magnesium are much more common on today's vehicles. After you weld your stud on you screw in a reusable loop for multi pulls with a claw and bridge while applying heat. Thankfully I already have a pull lever claw that will work just as well. I will just need a third hand to aim the digital thermometer on the panel to not exceed 450 as to not anneal the metal as I'm pulling. Once the metal is cooled back down you stop pulling.
