Anyone use the dent puller "as seen on Tv" at Wal mart?

I saw this dent puller at wal mart for around $20 and wondered if anyone here had tried it. I got a couple of door dings but cant afford to pay dent wizard a hundred bucks to take them out.
Thanks in advance.

I haven't used one but, why not since they are only about $29. I'm going to get one anyways. I just wonder if it works very well for small dents. It's understandable that it could work for big dents but small ones might be another story. I mainly have small hail damage dents on my hood and it is really annoying to see them when I look at my car.

I agree, my dents are kinda small too. Someone on my Tacoma forum said they heard they were pos. Like you said might be worth a try.

Do a search in the general forum, there was a huge thread about them.

I think people pretty much agreed that it worked "OK" for dents on flat surfaces, but not great. Anything other than a flat surface and you are out of luck.
