[Shotimes] Snake Oil & Dent Pullers

 From what I have seen of these, they would only work on 
bigger 'pop in" type of dents.  And they won't solve the 
problem of the crease that is usually left when you pop out 
those kinds of dents.

SMaller dents like you describe (similar to hail dents) 
respond well to the paintless dent removal systems, but they 
have to be able to get to the back side of the panel for it 
to work.

I have a big pop-in style dent on my 91 Mocha/Mocha that I 
have thought about using one of those pullers on, but I will 
stick with my plan and find a body shop that will take their 
time and try to get it out without having to apply new paint.
