Your videos are by far the most informative I have seen! So many people want to just upload a sped up video of them fixing a dent. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Thanks John, really appreciate you taking the time to give some positive feedback:-)
Yesterday I removed two nasty creases and repaired a very large scrape from a newer truck for a customer, I saved them over a thousand dollars, they where extremely happy, and I was proud of myself. 🙂
Good Job Joel! 👍👍👍
Basic and excellent tips.... All of them are important and essential to arrive to a great finished dent.
Good year for you, with plenty of work and health.
Thanks to share your thoughts with all of us!!
Yes, some basic but important tips, wishing you a great an prosperous New year!

Hi Jake some great advice will take that on board from Perth western Australia.
Hi Bill, that's excellent! I miss western Australia, I did a backpacking tour in 2008 from Perth to Broome before I started my business, it was the best trip I've ever been on!
I have no desire to learn the art, but I enjoy watching your metal magic
Thank you for this good video. Having seen you're repairs on UA-cam , I know you speak from experience. Greetings from Germany. 👍
Thanks Viktor, greetings from the UK!
Thanks for the tips but the way you do a tremendous job you’re just in my top five pdr that I follow on UA-cam thanks all your great videos they’re very helpful 👍🍺greetings from sunny California 🍺
Thanks Alfredo, I'm glad I can help:-)
Very impressed. Been doing pdr for 20 years. Sometimes I need to humble myself. I am always looking to learn new techniques.
Yes, I've been doing it for over 25 years and I learn new things every day, no one can say they know it all. Stay safe:-)
Congratulations Jake.
My name is Marcio from Brazil
I'm your big fan!!
I learned a lot with you.
Tank you and carry on...

That is awesome! Yes, they are big names in the industry so will serve you well:-)
Thank You Sir!!!

Happy New Year everyone! I’m kicking off the new year with my 5 Top Tips to make you a better PDR tech for the new year ahead. Let me know if you have any top tips for PDR in 2019?
Stool is how much
Good stuff
Thank You!
Awesome
Hi Jake, please can you giove me a list of your favourite pdr instruments? Thanks in advance.
Hi Jake, happy one year later! ;) This is still inspiring and helpful in 2020, so great job there.
Any chance you've finally released that DIY light board video? I cannot find it anywhere.
Cheers. Carlos
Hi Carlos, sorry I've been so busy with lots of thing going on, I am still working on it.
Thanks for your answer, Jake. I started wondering whether I was just too dumb to find it online. There’s not really much on the internet on DIYing these, which probably adds to the cost of the big brand ones like Ultra and such. I’m planning to build a large board myself, but there’s just so many little things I don’t understand (putting together all the power converters, dimmers, switches, wirings, etc.) that I was hoping someone had already gone through the process and could share a thought or two.
I’ll be looking forward to that vid.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers.
2:51 would tackle Tesla's aluminium panels?
can you do aluminium welding for mild crash repairs of quarter panel?
thanks
Hi, great tips, which glue do you use and which spray is good to remove the glue? Thanks
I'm using this glue at the moment which is very good glexotools.com/glexo-hot/ and to remove it off the panel I use 99.9% Isopropl Alcohol Liquid Cleaner) geni.us/Alcohol-cleaner
Jeez it was Jan 2nd and time to get back to work! Plainly you didn't go hard enough on Jan 1st! :) I am hoping to see a better effort in 2 weeks time.
😂 I'll make up for that day and work on Christmas Day, how about that 😂
@@1st_track_dents No! I meant if you could work at all on the 2nd, you weren't partying hard enough on the 1st. That is what I would like to see addressed in 2 weeks. Especially after all your good work during the year....
Hello Jake. Thanks man so much
I have a question please. You have a real amazing fog light. What brand is that please?
Hi Abraham King, it's not any brand, it is one that I made myself. I am currently putting a video together on how to make your own one which hopefully should be out in the next couple of weeks.
@@1st_track_dents i cant wait :)
Great work.great video.thanks.would that method work on tougher older metals from/for an expedition 02?
Yes, totally, I,ve used PDR on cars going back to 1970's and earlier 👍
@@1st_track_dents thanks...
@@1st_track_dents i like your work much. 👍
@@Ukw975 👍
Great tips but I think I'd still call you first mate!! HNY Jake.
Ha ha! Happy New Year!
Do you do any pdr training? I've watched loads of your videos and am always impressed by not only your work but your personality I think you would be a very good and approachable teacher.
I second that!!!! I’m looking for some training. Come on Jake share your passion to us newbies. In my opinion your one of the best out there.
Thanks John, funny enough I did all my training at BMW and eventually I ended up training quite a few of the guys there, but haven't trained anyone since I left and started on my own. It may be something I would consider.
@@kevinmccarthy3059 Thanks Kevin!
Well Jake I'm in Scotland but would be more than happy to travel and do training with you, so if its something that you will do at a later time please message me. Thanks for your reply and good luck for the year ahead.
Hi Jake
Whereabouts did you work for BMW?
Hey man I recently started watching PDR videos , I have the idea of how PDR works since I work at a body shot and I see PDR guys every once in a while but never tried it. I want to learn how to do it to fix family and friends cars. What starter kit do you recommend? Also affordable for trying out this industry.
A good double bend tool and a set of tips is a good start from someone like Ultra Dent Tools, there are some links in my video descriptions. Good Luck!
You can find this tools in the USA?
Hi, as first interchangeable tips rod from ultra , which do you recommend? the Johnson or the one with the handle ? and also is 30" all around rod? or other? Thanks
Hi, I use this bar all the time, it's a good all rounder: www.ultradenttools.com/products/st3802-24-x-7-16-screwtip-dbl-bend-90?_pos=3&_sid=d6dbd8607&_ss=r
Thank you ! good presentations
Hey fella - did you ever do that video on how to make your own light? I've looked but can't see it - apologies if you have and I'm being a dummy 😂
I've been doing minor stuff with a line board, but while I can see distortions etc... it's wierd, it plays havoc with my eyes and I end up going "board blind" 😂
From the way I've had to use light in other areas of life, I really think your type of lamp would work better for me - but since this is a hobby - and I'm skint - a DIY solution would be awesome!
I need to get another video done and then I hope to bring some videos on making stuff so it is in the pipeline:-)
@@1st_track_dents - you are a legend mate, awesome.
Do you run PDR courses? That's something I could be into in the future and I reckon you'd be absolutely fantastic to learn from.
@@PurpleHelmet Thanks, I don't at the moment. But I do get a lot of people asking me to:-)
I want to be a professional pdr but how what tool you recommend for bigener.... Thank you
The 24 inch double bend tool I use all the time from Ultra is here:

These are also good for beginners 👍
where do u connect your heat gun ???
I always make sure that I have power at the customer's address so I just plug it into my extension lead. I do believe there are flameless gas torches that can also be used now if you have no power:-)
Sir I am from India how I am larn it
Csn anyone recommend a good brand of pry bars and website to get them from?
The main stockists in the UK I use are www.tdntools.com, www.dentrix.co.uk and www.pdrprotools.co.uk, If you live in the US you have the advantage of buying from the manufacturers themselves. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by Pry bars, I mainly use Screw on tip bars, I do know that the "Dent Dial" is becoming more and more popular which is a multi tipped lever bar? you can check out Sal's website here: dentdial.com
Hey Jake ich habe eine Bitte kannst du mir ein link nennen wo du dein auswechsle bare Drücker jaufst und kleber..hi Jake this is german Language please andere me
So I have been looking into taking a 2 week pdr class and was wondering if it's worth the 9k including the tools, light, glue pulling kit, and some other accessories. We have a local pdr guy who is very good and said I could ride with for a few weeks and learn from him. Has anyone else taken any of this classes?
I personally learned a lot, just watching someone good doing the repairs and telling me why he did those actions! I believe you can save all this money, follow the guy, get the information, tips and tricks as much you can. Start buy cheaper, but nice tools. I started with DentMagic and Dentcraft. About glue, I got Keko tools. Very nice tools to start.
