This feature transforms a basic fender tool into a personalized extension of the technician’s skill.

Using the #214a with the Whale Tail Tip

The whale tail tip is a favorite for many PDR techs due to its broad, flat surface and gentle push:

• Reduced Paint Risk: The wide tip spreads force to avoid creating new dents or marks on the paint.

• Efficient Dent Removal: Covers larger dent areas effectively while allowing precise pressure application.

• Easy Maneuverability: Works well with the #214a’s adjustable handle and shaft length to reach difficult spots.

Combining the #214a tool with the whale tail tip creates a powerful duo for fender and wheel arch repairs that require finesse and strength.
