PDR Tools

“A tool is a tool is a tool”. We’ve all heard that a lot growing up and didn’t know better until I tried to unscrew a screw from a piece of furniture I was assembling with a phillips head screwdriver. I put so much energy and elbow power with no luck. The only luck I had was bad luck, as I stripped the driver. The darn screw was hardened properly thus stripping the Phillips head tip of my driver which felt like soft metal putty, and I was left with a worthless tool. It did look nice though! So much for looking nice and offering little in the way of performance!With this story behind us, you can more easily understand that pretty tools are not the most important feature, particularly in the dent repair business. Our PDR Tools are stainless steel, and no only look good but function properly, accessing all panels on all vehicles. They are hardened and manufactured correctly, and will provide the strength necessary to work dents out from behind some pretty strong crash bars and other bracing mechanisms. On the flip side, some techs have used the old style of cold rolled tools. They are strong, but they become ugly quickly with rust and maintenance includes wiping each of the tools down with WD40. There is nothing like a greasy tool with a little bit of rust build up. It’s therefore a very simple choice for what tools we’ve used for over 30 years and our customers have come to appreciate their quality and durability. Each PDR Tool we make is made from 17-4 hardened Stainless Steel!
