  • Patent number: 11344938
    Abstract: A paintless dent removal tool, method and system for automatically removing a dent from a vehicle. The paintless dent removal tool includes a stabilizer assembly, a sleeve, a threaded chamber and a threaded rod positioned within the threaded chamber of the sleeve. Wherein, upon a rotational force being applied to the top end of the threaded rod, the threaded rod is configured to rotate within the threaded chamber raising the sleeve upwards towards the top of the stabilizer assembly, such that when a glue tab is connected to the tab connector the paintless dent removal tool automatically pulls the glue tab upward to substantially pull out the dent in the surface of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11338342
    Abstract: A paintless dent repair glue tab tool, system and method. The paintless dent repair glue tab tool, includes a pull member detachably connected to a support member. The pull member having a top, a threaded neck, and a bottom. The support member having a thick rigid center having an opening extending at least partially therethrough and a thin semi-flexible outer edge extending around the thick rigid center. The opening having a threaded metal insert molded therein and configured to receive a portion of the threaded neck of the pull member. The diameter of the pull member and the diameter of the support member transfer lifting power to a center portion of the paintless dent repair glue tab tool so as to pull up the dent at a peak thereby more efficiently removing dents from the surface of a vehicle.
