It's hard to imagine anyone saying anything negative about that repair. I'm a 25 yr pdr technician and fix dents like that almost daily. I'm not afraid to say you're a beast and one of the best out there. Good job.

I’ve been a detailer in dealerships for the past 40 years. I’ve never seen a PDR guy that would touch the dents you repair. The PDR guys in this locale remove parking lot dings. I’m totally amazed at the work you do. Please keep the videos coming

I'm an auto damage adjuster for a major insurance company. I literally would not have hesitated to put 8 hours plus paint on that panel. Along with all the r&is that go along. I'm amazed with this video! Way to go dude keep it up!

Sir, you are not a technician, you are an artist! Good luck and greetings from Berlin, Germany 👍

To be honest even with a stud welder I would have struggled with this one, you are a true dent ninja, I am going to try flipping my hat around next time I am faced with a challenging repair like this!

I been watching ken's videos for several years he is the best ever like a 10 star. He has no fear on any ugly dents.

I planned on skipping through the vid but was so fascinated I watched real-time end to end. You are a PDR God sir. Much respect for your skill and patience.

Awesome video sir. I’ve was a body guy as well as a paint refinisher. This type of work is cleaner, more efficient, theres no filler, or grinding down panels. I would love to learn the trade. I’ve always wanted to do paint less dent. I’ve been a mech for a dealership for the past 23 years

I’ve been an Autobody repair tech for 10 years and I honestly respect your work! I’ve been watching you to better my craft and am looking into getting some glue tabs because of you! Thanks a lot for your work.

Hey been in business since 94. I was taught to repair much larger dents even ones I couldn't make perfect.. at 54 now winding down a great career in PDR and just chasing a few more hail storms. Great work Man of steel

Yes I'm new, no I am not a PDR tech. I just had some PDR work done on my new 4runner. Came out fantastic, now I'm fascinated watching PDR videos. Well done and be safe.

This man is a threat to the collision industry and should be stopped at all costs!!

You have a talent and patience, great job!

The tension loaded spring is freaking genius!

I was a Toyota technician in the late 1980's early '90's and first saw this method used in the body shop. PDR works a lot better/easier on the more modern 'thinner' steel panels and the hot glue has gotten a lot stronger since then and easier to remove. We also had the welded pin/stud system for the really bad cases. You couldn't get hold of replacement panels from Toyota at a reasonable price back then as they were shipped from Japan. Not able to 'work' anymore due to broken neck but still do as much as possible on my own and neighbor's cars. It helps to keep me active and occupied. I also use home made wood 'dolly's' to help prevent more paint damage. When heating the area I use an electric heat gun, rather than a flame torch. Nice to see the old panel beating skills still being used, rather than simply replacing with new ones, it works out quicker and cheaper in most cases.

Thanks for a real pdr video, you actually showed how it's really done with ripples flaws and all. So many others wouldn't show a close up but only angles from a distance. Great work and video's

Mate, you're a bloody legend. I'd love to be able to learn to do what you do, once I'm done with chemo if all goes well I'm definitely gonna give this a try. Technique and patience is inspirational.

Замечательная работа. Волшебник!

You have patience of SSTEEEEEL! Truly talented.

You are so clever, I just can't watch this without wishing I was you. And I love the fact that you are not flaunting your ability to fix any problem. Man of steel, yeah, that's what you are. THE MAN.

I’M NEW!!! 🤓 I find this so fascinating! In Sacramento I once heard about a *new* shop with a bunch of German guys in lab coats that would use rods and leverage to work dents out, they said it was “the latest method from Germany”, that was like 15 years ago. I always wanted to see them work, I think the old way of replacing panels, beating panels or filling dents with bondo and painting is archaic… This is cool! 😎

Another awesome dent removal! There’s No one else that has this level of understanding of moving and manipulation of metal!! Thanks again man of steel!!

This is an awesome job. I have the same dent on my hatch and could not find anyone in my area that would do the job. You are the master of PDR.

Clean restoration by PDR. Awesome job done!

I ve been watching so many of your videos lately and its truly amazing the level of skill and perfection that you have achieved with these repairs . what you are doing is a form of art , the amount of knowledge is unreal and thanks for passing on this knowledge ! . Keep the videos coming !!!

as a collision tech i always admire PDR. beautiful work. wish i had the patience. i have been close to metal finish on alot of work ive done but i always need a little filler somewhere. hats off broski!

It is amazing seeing he metal moving as you want, neatly reversing the impact

THIS IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO REMOVE DENTS. I HAVE BEEN IN THE WRECKER BUSINESS FOR 50 YEARS.THE WRECKER MAN FROM RALEIGH, NC

PDR guys in my area would never attempt the stuff you do. Amazing 🤩

Ive been a pdr tech all my life 25 years old now and started when I was 7 (dad is a retired pdr tech). This is absolutely crazy man. I’m a route tech and service mostly dealers with a good amount of retail and a couple hail cars a month. You are diving so deep into pdr and completely blowing my mind. I have 5 stars on google and consider myself and my partner to be reasonably good due to the satisfaction of our high end dealers we service and minimum complaints received. I honestly can’t believe you made that look so good and I always knew there were guys better than me and guys worse than me. But I’m pretty confident saying that you are one of if not the best techs I’ve seen. I love watching your videos and aspire to be able to branch into more collision pdr. If I came across a dent like that at a dealer I’d turn it down and if it was at a body shop I’d push to paint it. But no way in hell I’d be able to finish it. But I guess I don’t actually know I’ve never spent 12 hours on a dent lol. Keep up the good work man, you rock!

Man of Steel...Clark Dent!!

new to the channel, i am completely blown away with what you can accomplish with your pdr knowledge!

New here to man of steel. I’ve been doing PDR for a manufacturing automotive company for 1 year now and absolutely love it. I’m always watching PDR videos to learn more techniques from the pros. Awesome video keep up the work. Maybe one day I could do big repairs like you. Repair looks like glass btw excellent work

Found this video by accident, outstanding workmanship. You are increadibly the best I have ever seen!! Was so enjoyable to watch. Thank you!

I am a paint less student, ready to learn, 64 years old nothing to loose!

It is so satisfying to watch someone who knows what they are doing and so kudos to you my friend. It takes years of experience to do what you do and I take my hat off to you.

Great job! You set an extremely high bar. Thanks for doing these videos!

Wow, you did an amazing job. Never seen a huge dent like that repaired before

I’m new to the Chanel and I alway work the metal because my teacher always told me the metal always wants to go back to it’s original place. But this to me it’s wow with out painting you’re the Man of steel. I thought I was good wow I have a next level to go up too. 💪 Teach me master 🙏

This man is an artist.

I’m giving a big thumbs up on all of them, you are a inspiration to me, to get better on pdr and learn new things

Man of Steel does great work, no doubt. However, I’m continually impressed by the strength of the automotive paint bond and how it just doesn’t rip off the panels when so much pulling pressure is exerted on it.

Been with a desire to do exactly what you just did. Always wanted to be in Paint and Body but allergic to many of the products like fiberglass and Bondo. But this puts me in the field without dealing with those products.

You are awesome with this process. Got to be the way forward in repair. Who wants a car with filler all over it. Clean as a whistle your repairs are a credit to you thanks mark south Wales GB.

Parabéns pelo trabalho sou fã de seus trabalhos 💪🏻💪🏻👊🏻🔨🔨🔨

Man of Steel your my hero. Learning so much. I hate sanding and painting. Newb.

I am astounded at seeing how strong the actual paint is!

You are genius!😍 Best regards from Germany Rainer

Love what you do, I think if somebody has a team of guys like you you would put most auto body shops out of buisness! If I was ever going to learn a new trade, this would be it!

Let me know when will be your next training session

Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲 for the first time

It amazes me every time I see you pull a new dent ,awesome to watch how you make it disappear

Wow, I'm new to the channel and completely blown away with the quality of work done here. Bravo.

It’s always amazing to watch the “magic” of PDR.

Amazing Repair ❤

After watching your technique, anyone who would grind the paint down to steel and weld on pulling pins is pure lunacy. That shop is just gouging the customer for work that they dont need. Your MAGNIFICENT.

Wow, you are a true artisan. Absolutely incredible. I just now found your channel, and I'm glad I did.

Just amazing way to repair the dent. Love it.

Me personally I wouldn't never try to attempt PDR on that type of Dent nice job brother

Incredible!!!! Thanks from Spain.

I have been looking for a carrier change and I think I have found it!!! I purchased a beginner's kit and was successful in removing several dents on my Dodge 1500 pick up. It was very rewarding and exciting. I'm HOOKED!!! Would sincerely enjoy doing this kind of work and am interested in taking a beginner's course soon. I'm so pumped I am about to purchase a complete PDR tool set from eBay. Thanks for this video.

The MAAAAAN of Steeeel struck again ! You're work is awesome, really magic ! :)

You sir are quite the professional , amazing work !

simply amazing. This is ART. well done !

im 28 been in the game roughly 4 years now started up my own place i hope to be as talented at this one day.. :O i thought i knew how to move steel but theres black magic in your craft sir

The man of steel does incredible job that amazes me

You’re the best dent puller I ever seen

NEW... I am Amazed on how you pulled this dent out, I'm old old school from 40yrs back drilling holes and using a dent puller, with heat and grinder to get the metal back in shape then filling in the imperfections with Bondo... Excellent Job... 😀

New here, your work is art vs intuition vs science, remarkable!

8th April 2023. New subscriber. Feeling inspired. Thank you.

I’m a retired pilot, and a couple years after retiring got the big renal cancer word. Lost my rat kidney, chemotherapy, etc. getting around,but nothing like I was. A short time after retirement, I checked in on trying to fined out on how I could learn how to do your kind of work just to stay busy. First time here, MAN OF STEEL! Nice stuff! Congratulations on a great job. Ronnie East,Tennessee

Now this takes a master craftsman to do!! Absolutely a master!! All without filler or paint!

Great job very professional and your Santa story was amazing 😀

WOW Amazing. I have seen a lot of PDR on youtube and without a doubt yours is by far a well detailed video. Just wish I could do a job as perfect as you have just shown.

Thanks for everything that you share. I have been around the world many times as a hail damage repairer and Gary from Pollard's auto salvage now wants me to go out with 35 acres of dents and see what I can do. I love you and hate you for raising the bar so high!

Hi there, I am Albie, I live in South Africa. I am not a panel beater or spray painter, I just happened to try to fix and spray my car, first try, so I am always trying to learn and teach myself, because I usually don't have enough money to take it to someone. First time seeing your videos, and I like the way you work, and also the way you explain. Well done 👍

Absolutely awesome talent. I wish you were closer. I have a dent on my Mini Cooper and haven’t taken it to a shop because I don’t want it grinned and bon-do on it. I prefer to wait and find someone with those talents where I live. Great job 👏

Man, I've been living with a big dent for years, the body shop said it would be a $6,000 repair and I just didn't want to do it, but you make it look like I can do this at home with enough time and the proper tools!

Perfecto… incredible job Mr. Steel man. Your are not a dent man… your are genius… Good luck and thank you for sharing your top work and good ideas. I’m

Professionalism at it's best 👌

This dude is the master of metal

You sir are a bad ass metal worker.

That’s incredible! This is my first time watching you. I’ve hired DentPro a couple of times and have never been satisfied. It’s cool to see it actually can be done!

The skill at that stress relieving with hammer beats is music to the eyes

Pdr has came very far was sent to a pdr school 30 years ago would love to get back into it you do a amazing job!!!

Been doing dents for 12 years now. I’ve never gotten into the collision tab systems. Like Keco or the one you have, but I really like seeing you kill these massive dents. Very impressive. And no. I wouldn’t have taken on a job like this, most likely. Unless it was Push to Paint. That’s always easy enough, and I don’t have a shop, yet.

This is badass. Skill and patience provide great results

One year ago and still pulling dent good job man of heel 😱

New to your channel; always find paintless dent repair fascinating! Thanks for showing us the complete process, instead of "I'm doing this", and not describing it. Thanks!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

This is the second video I watch for you and I'm absolutely amazed. You're incredible! For my DRP, I would've had to replace the panel cause the repair time would've been to high. But if it wasn't for DRP, I would've fixed with a stud puller and obviously would've had filler and to repaint. After watching this, I feel I've been doing it wrong this whole time. Thanks for these videos and keep it up! I've got a lot of research/practicing to do.

I’m just starting out glue pulling I’ve been a certified tec for 30 years you do amazing work I’m a new subscriber would love training on this you’re awesome

Man of Steel ... that was Super!

I just found your channel mate! I'm a restoration junky from Australia. With restoration junky mates. Gave you a sub. And so will my mates. THANKS !

I am neither...I'm a Master Tool & Die & Moldmaker of 30 yrs. If I can get the glue pulls to get MY issue out that close (door/fender jamb), I would be 10000% happy to call a DPR guy to finish it out BUT in it's current condition nobody wants to touch it. Thankyou for your videos as they have proven to be very informative. With the proper tools and understanding, I do believe that i can get it to something doable.

There is no such thing as a better technician... As each job carries it's own problems! The end result is dependent upon the knowledge used to achieve the final results! Experience and willingness to try something different, gains more knowledge, then more ability to take on jobs others would turn away from! As a teacher, you are proving your value! Let others also prove their worth by doing the same! Your content is an inspiration to others to follow in your footsteps..👍🙏🙏🙏❤️

You’re a magician! ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great tools, great skill, most of all patience.

I love these videos. They are amazing.

Just discovered PDR, and your channel. Love your narration, the way you explain things is great and your voice is nice too. This looks like a cool line of work, very satisfying! Thank you for these videos!

A sheer joy to watch, wish i lived in the USA cos i'd come n learn. 👍
