ABSTRACT:
Two embodiments of fulcrum apparatus useful for easy and efficient dent pulling during automobile body repairing are provided in the invention. The apparatus works efficiently in most any position and comprises a first embodiment having dual levering arm and dual pivotal feet and a second embodiment having a single levering arm and a single foot. Both embodiments operate by pulling on a centrally aligned fixture affixed with a hook. The hook is designed for hooking attachment to a pull rod. The pull rod is passed through a series of aligned washers which are welded in the dent area of a damage auto body. When manual pull is applied to either the dual levers on the first embodiment or the single lever on the second embodiment, a controlled force is applied to the aligned washers realigning the dented area with the original surface of the damaged car body. Padded pivotal feet allows use of the apparatus in door areas and on other irregular car body surfaces.
