Dent Reaper Dead Center Hex Tabs | Professional PDR Glue Tabs

Overview

Dent Reaper Dead Center Hex Tabs are premium Paintless Dent Repair glue tabs engineered to deliver stronger, cleaner, and more controlled pulls. Developed using patented Dead Center Technology from KECO and refined with input from professional PDR technician Jon Videen of Dent Reaper, these tabs are designed to maximize pulling performance while reducing the risk of overpulling.

Featuring a rigid hexagonal design, stepped face construction, and durable KECO Ice Material, these tabs provide exceptional glue adhesion, improved energy transfer, and reliable performance on everything from hail damage to sharp creases and body line repairs.

Whether you're repairing aluminum or steel panels, the Dead Center Hex Tabs help you work faster and with greater precision.

Patented Dead Center Technology

At the core of every Dead Center Hex Tab is KECO's patented Dead Center Technology.

This innovative design features a thicker center section that concentrates pulling force where it's needed most, while the outer edges remain more flexible to reduce unnecessary stress on the surrounding metal.

Benefits

• Concentrates pulling force at the center of the dent
• Helps reduce overpulling
• Improves metal movement
• Creates cleaner pulls
• Reduces finishing time

The result is more controlled repairs with fewer corrections after each pull.

Hexagonal Tab Design

Unlike traditional round glue tabs, the hexagonal shape increases rigidity while improving stability during pulling.

Benefits include:

• Increased pulling strength
• Better resistance to twisting
• Improved stability on body lines
• Better performance on panel edges
• More consistent energy transfer

The hex design also helps maintain better contact during difficult repairs where standard tabs may shift or roll.

Stepped Face Design

The stepped face increases the effective glue contact area while directing pulling force toward the center of the tab.

Advantages include:

• Stronger glue adhesion
• Improved pulling efficiency
• Better energy transfer
• Reduced chance of premature tab release
• More predictable pulls

This design helps technicians maximize each pull while reducing wasted effort.
