Description

No other dent ball holding dent tool can give you the control and speed that this tool delivers. It is so innovative that it is patented. The tool is designed to be used with the N57G and N57GH barrel-type dent ball sets. The outstanding features of this tool are its ability to place the ball exactly where you want it and then, retrieve it quickly, after use.

There is no need to unsolder the bell. This is a precision designed and engineered tool. The P50 Dent Ball Driver/Retriever consists of a chromed steel handle connected to several nylon balls on a cable. These balls are held stationary by a round steel driver. Next comes the stroke cable, a short length of cable with a threaded fitting attached to the cable end.

The kit includes two brass balls which screw onto the threaded cable fitting attached to the cable end. These brass balls hold the dent ball on the stroke cable. The new longer sleeve is provided to protect the inside bore from scratching. A complete set of instructions comes with the tool. An older set of dent balls may be drilled out easily with a #29 drill bit. Be sure to protect the ball surface when drilling them out.
