Abstract: A tool and process is provided for pulling a concave portion from a metal panel. The tool and process have a primary use of pulling dents from damaged panels of vehicles. The tool uses four independently hinged legs that are moved up and down by a central control screw and a continuous cable and pulley system. Each of the legs have a plurality of independently acting paired cutting members to hold an individual stud therebetween. The continuous cable also serves the functions of providing a profile of the original shape of the panel and triggering the cutting members to sever the studs.
