    I wonder what the glue gun and glue is for. Suppose it would be evident in the instructions.

    You glue one of the black washers to the middle of the dent and use the 3 prong thingy to screw and pull the dent out.

    I think Aldi sell this as a "dent improver". It'll still look cack but better than before.

    I have a biggish dent on my car from where someone tried to smash the rear window by throwing a brick at it a while ago, but they were so good they missed. It was just touched up with paint at the time. Might see if this does anything for it.

    It may be ok on some types of dents, but not all. If you have ever seen the dent repair guys at work, they have a large selection of tools, can't recall see any that involve gluing things to the panel in question though.

    Same sort of thought process as the Sinclair C5 / Ronco buttoneer etc .... probably similar results?
    If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !

    Either way, cheaper than whatever the pros will charge you - so probably ok for a banger if you'd rather the dent wasn't so obvious.

    But then you've got glue all over your car! Id rather have the dent left myself. Also anewman QD(or equivilent) shops sell these dent puller(like a locking plunger) for 99p(draper charge £10 for the same item), my OH says they're very good for pulling them out, and work on suction rather than "glue"
