MADDOX 58450 Deluxe Paintless Dent Repair Kit

Product Information

The Superior Automotive Tools MBD1 Deluxe Paintless Dent Repair Kit is a handy tool that helps in repairing minor dents on vehicles without the need for costly bodywork. The kit includes a glue gun, pull tabs, release agent, slide hammer, and scraper. The glue gun is powered by 120VAC / 60Hz / 40W and comes with a set of instructions to help you use it safely and effectively. The pull tabs come in different sizes and shapes to help you fix dents of varying sizes. The release agent makes it easy to remove the glue and pull tabs once the dent has been fixed. The slide hammer helps to pull out the dent, and the scraper helps to remove any residue left behind by the release agent.
