PDR Leverage Block – 3rd Light Block (Dent Craft)

The PDR Leverage Block, also known as the 3rd Light Block, is a specialized tool designed by Dent Craft to assist paintless dent repair (PDR) technicians when working on trucks. This tool is crafted to provide a stable and reliable point of leverage on the third brake light area of trucks, improving control and reducing damage risk during dent repair.

Purpose and Use

Many truck models have a third brake light mounted on the rear hatch or tailgate, which can limit access during dent repairs. Traditionally, technicians may try to leverage off the access hole behind the light, which can be unstable or risk damage. The 3rd Light Block offers a solid surface to push or brace against, allowing techs to apply precise leverage without risking panel damage or misalignment.

By providing a firm contact point, the 3rd Light Block helps technicians manage leverage better, making dent removal easier and safer, especially on hard-to-reach spots around the third brake light.

Key Features

• Designed specifically for use on truck third brake lights

• Provides a strong, stable leverage point

• Prevents damage to panels by eliminating need to push directly on access holes

• Compact and easy to position for quick setup

• Made from durable materials to withstand repeated use

Benefits for PDR Technicians

Using the 3rd Light Block reduces the chances of panel distortion or accidental damage during leverage. It allows more efficient application of force, which means fewer passes and faster dent removal. The tool’s compact design means it can be easily carried and used across different truck models, making it a versatile addition to any PDR toolkit.

How to Use

Place the 3rd Light Block against the third brake light assembly or its mounting area on the truck. Use it as a fulcrum or brace to leverage pushing or pulling tools while working on dents around the rear hatch or tailgate. The block absorbs force and distributes it evenly, preventing damage and improving control.

Summary

Dent Craft’s PDR Leverage Block (3rd Light Block) is a simple but essential tool for PDR techs working on trucks. By providing a dedicated leverage point on the third brake light, it improves repair efficiency and protects vehicle panels from damage. Its compact, durable design ensures it will be a reliable part of any technician’s gear for truck dent repairs.
