Default Ever used the Ding King?

Has anyone ever tried the ding king for small dents on the car?

i have tried this thing before.. i think mine was called the dent king? either way it does work.. you glue the tabs to the car, let it cool.. then put the bar on there, screw on the wingnut.. and it'll pull out the dent.. very good results.. on some i still had a ripple, but saved me a LOT of money from the body shop.. this is one crazy infomercial idea that actually DOES work! usually it won't work on crease-lines on the body.. since those are edges.. but yeah try it.. it'll work

I cant believe I just paid $37 for a sh*#ty hot glue gun It better work. I cant even find out yet because its 23º outside and it has to be between 50-80º to use it (no garage)

i had dent wizard come pop a dent out of my fender, its supposed to be paintless dent removal. cost 100 for them to do it, and after that the paint was all cracked around where the dent was. so now it needs repainting. but someone elses insurance is paying it so i didnt care much.

the ding king (and ones like it) can only be used on factory paint jobs.. (aka baked on paint jobs).. if the car had been repainted the paint will come off as a result of this.. that's maybe why you had cracking.. they didn't ask if it was repainted, cuz that's what happens..

Cool! i hope the temp goes up a lil bit so i can try it out. the dent is in a tough spot pretty close to a rolled edge. but i think is far enough to work
