ABSTRACT:
A unique tool for removing dents from sheet metal that is best accessed or can only be accessed from the same side of the metal surface from which the dent was originally created. The tool has a lower plate and an upper plate. The lower plate has a lower side proximate to a dent in a surface to be repaired and an upper side. The upper plate has a lower side proximate to the upper side of the lower plate and an upper side. The tool has a plurality of pins slidably extending through the lower and upper plates, the pins having heads proximate to said upper side of said upper plate and lower attachment ends adapted for receiving an adhesive. The tool further has a displacing member for selectively displacing the upper plate away from the lower plate so that the upper side of the upper plate will push the heads of the pins upwardly as the upper plate is displaced, causing the lower attachment ends to move upwardly. The tool can have two handles that pivot around a pin so that when squeezed together the opposite ends move towards each other by means of wedge-shaped pieces.
