Answer: PDR Dfender is priced according to several factors:

• It is the fruit of many years of experience in the fields of Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) and Auto Body Repair (more details on our About page)
• It is a patented invention (“Hand Tool for Paintless Dent Repair”, US Patent #10,245,629) by American inventors. Currently we are also following up on this invention’s International Patent application (via PCT). 
• It is 100% manufactured in the USA (utilizing materials purchased only from American companies and utilizing only legal/e-verified labor).
• It is handcrafted in 304 Stainless Steel, which is one of the hardest and most durable metals for tool manufacturing (Note: please read more about 304 Stainless Steel below).
• It is a hand tool that accurately and easily helps a skilled PDR and/or Auto Body Technician fix a dent located up to 3 ¼” from the bottom edge of a vehicle’s single-metal panel, most particularly a fender. 
• Its unique design allows access to the dent without the need to remove the wheel and without contact of the tool’s handle bars with any components which might be present in the inner panel area, such as tires under a fender panel.
• Its u-shaped plate design offers total vision of the dent during the repair.

Answer: We have chosen to manufacture PDR Dfender in 304 Stainless Steel due to its: 

• Superior durability and longevity.
• Resistance to corrosion and oxidation
• Surgically shiny appearance
• Ease of cleaning

Answer: PDR Dfender’s rounded tip is designed to fix dents on the lower part of the fender and the tip is made to rebuild the body line on the fender.  However, if desired, a Technician may insert a rubber tip on PDR Dfender’s tip (it fits). 

Yes, we have just started to add a foam-like padding to the u-shaped part of the tool that comes in contact with the fender, so as to help avoid any accidental scratches during dent repairs.

 Answer: PDR Dfender is very light weight (approximately 1lb 10 oz), therefore its handles can be easily manipulated without the need for springs.  Once the handle is released, it springs back on itself.

Answer: While we do not offer a trial period for PDR Dfender, we believe any skilled PDR Technician or Auto Body Technician will be able to easily and accurately use it to fix dents located on vehicles single-metal panels, especially fenders.
