ABSTRACT:
A tool and method for removing dents from automobile bodies or the like. An outer tool unit comprising an electromagnet having an inner face which engages the outer surface of a body panel on at least one side of the dent. The outer tool unit is rigidly mounted from an external frame or its inner face must span the dent. The electromagnet is actuated at low amperage and then an inner tool unit positioned inside the body panel against the dent's inner surface. The inner tool unit may be simply a ferrous alloy material or it may be an electromagnet itself. The electromagnet is then actuated at a higher amperage, i.e., full operating power. In either event, the inner tool unit is rocked or "ironed" on the dent's inner surface and cooperates with the outer unit to progressively and uniformly remove the dent.
