The complete kit for the semi-professional and DIY-er
First of all, I've had great success with this kit. It came with everything I needed with the exception of a bright line board so this review is with that in mind. This is my 4th PDR kit, my first being a simple $8 bridge puller to this one being the most complete so far. No issues after a relatively brief session and I'm happy the seller went the extra mile to make my issue resolved (see below).My project this time was a tough one, my Miata previously sideswiped a concrete barrier so there were plenty of dings and scratches. I previously did not have the T-puller and a wide variety of tabs which is why I decided to go with this kit. I spent about 2.5 hrs on the various dents so far and you can see the big improvement on a few spots I highlighted. There's still a bit to go but I am very happy with the results. You will have to be careful as the glue is very strong and can pull off paint if you leave it for too long. It didn't matter for me as my door will be repainted anyways, but I would recommend to go slower with care. Use more alcohol to make sure everything comes off cleanly.The main highlights of this kit are the tabs and glue. There are plenty of options for each kind of dent and I uploaded a picture of the most common ones I used for this project in particular. I used 90% isopropyl alcohol in the included spray bottle. With the alcohol, these released easily from both the body and the tab with no effort at all once the alcohol came in contact with the glue. I received a total of 6 clear and 6 solid sticks. I only used up 2 sticks for the entire project. I had no issues with the rest of the tools. The glue gun was reliable, quick to heat up, and easy to handle. I wish there was a bag included to hold everything together, but everything fits back into the box with no trouble.An minor downfall was that I noticed there was a slight bit of chipping in the top of the tabs when using the T-puller. I think part of the causeay be the sharp edge on the mouth of the puller. I'm not sure if these may cause structural issues eventually, but I messaged the seller and they were quick to send me additional tabs. They admitted there had been a few responses related to the tabs but the new "improved" tabs arrived the next day! These seemed to be made out of a denser plastic. Super thankful for the seller going above and beyond in customer service.Overall, I'm satisfied with this kit and how it provides semi-professional level tools at an affordable price. Other options might have identical/similar items included, but I would definitely purchase from this seller again due to the positive experience I've had from them so far. I have a feeling that this will last me for years and I will only be upgrading tools as needed at this point.

Easy to use and saved me my bucks
It worked on at least 90% of the dents I pulled. My Toyota corolla's passenger doors got side-swiped by another car which was pulling out of the parallel parking while I was passing by. Anyways, I got my money from the insurance, and I kept watching these dent pulling videos on the web and decided to give it a shot. this set was neither very small nor very bulky set for me to start with and I am glad I did not buy anything fancier. I tried the yellow stick, and it was too weak, I switched to the black one, then figured out that I have used a quick wax spray to clean the area. It worked well when I cleaned the dents with alcohol. So far my favorite is the t-bar puller and the lifter puller. Hammer with those tips are tricky, I figured out that for the best solution, I need the yellow-black stripes to see exact dent pattern. So far, my success rate is 9/10, a very small area needs to be hammered before people go to bed at home. I think this is a nice set for a newbie like me.

able to repair about 90% of the dents
So I was reversing in the dark while the side back door was opened and left forgotten, I kept reversing and the loose door hit lightpole, the door of course got dent real bad. The dent was divided into a big major one and a smaller intense dent.Here is what I liked about the repair kit:It worked: Kind of. It seemed like a cheap option that’s really worth trying in order to repair the damage. Eventually, it was able to repair about 90% of the dent, the smaller, more intense dent is still there unfortunately. I attached a video showing my successful attempt.Comprehensive set: I like that they include so many repair tools to cover different dent repairs depending on the dent nature. Some tools were meant for smaller dents, some for huge dents. They even included the glue gun and glue sticks. in addition to many shapes and sizes of the purple dent tubes.Simple: This is the first time I ever attempt to repair a car dent, yet the repair kit was easy to use, very very easy to use. You can watch a youtube video just to make sure you get a glimpse of what to do.Glue: I was worried at first that the glue might peel off the external coating on the car body, but it totally didn’t The glue was also easily removed especially after applying some perfume with alcohol in it on top of the glue.Cons:Dent tubes: The purple tubes as you can see in the video worked well and repaired the dent, however, 3 tubes got broken, and their necks got detached in the process. Good thing they included a ridiculously redundant amount of dent tubes, the seller also sent me the enhanced tubes that are stronger.

***UPDATED*** (Do not waste your money!!!!)
I bought this because it had everything I thought I needed. I glued the pad to the car, placed it exactly at the edge of the dent like the instructions said, was hoping to pull the pad off with the pulling tool but instead, the little plastic tab on the pad kept breaking. I tried 3 times, the same thing happened every single time. I'm not sure if the seller wrote these reviews or what but I am returning this product and going with another dent popper! Save your money, read reviews and go with another product!*******UPDATE*******Linda contacted me directly, mailed me a pair of improved tabs and puller, I was VERY IMPRESSED!! The new tabs that were sent to me did EXACTLY what they intended to do. The new dent puller was easily mountable and sturdy, with GREAT quality! It took approximately four different pulls for me to get the dent to where I was satisfied. Of course dents vary so it may/may not take you more/less time. Depending on the amount of time you are willing to spend on the defective area, the job can be done no matter your experience level.
