PDR Leverage Block - Mini (Dent Craft)

PDR Leverage Block – Mini (Dent Craft)

The PDR Leverage Block Mini by Dent Craft is a compact, durable tool designed to assist paintless dent repair (PDR) technicians when working in tight spaces, specifically the area left open after removing a headlight or taillight from a vehicle. This small leverage block provides a safe and reliable point of support or leverage, helping to protect delicate access holes and surrounding panels from damage during dent repairs.

Design and Dimensions

The Mini Leverage Block measures 1 1/2 inches by 2 inches by 3 inches, making it compact enough to fit comfortably into the tightest spaces where access holes exist after headlight or taillight removal. It features 3/4-inch radius slots on each side, positioned perpendicular to each other, allowing versatile placement and secure positioning on various panel contours.

Purpose and Function

After removing a headlight or taillight, the exposed access holes often become the primary spots for applying leverage with PDR tools. However, applying force directly to these holes risks stretching or deforming the panel, leading to costly repairs or paint damage. The Mini Leverage Block acts as a buffer or brace, distributing force over a wider surface and preventing direct pressure on fragile access points.

By using this block, technicians can apply the necessary leverage or support without compromising the integrity of the vehicle’s bodywork. This improves the quality of the repair, reduces the chance of rework, and helps maintain the original factory finish.

Key Features

• Compact size (1 1/2" x 2" x 3") fits into tight access areas

• 3/4" radius slots on opposite sides allow secure positioning on varied panel shapes

• Perpendicular slot design increases versatility for different leverage angles

• Made of durable materials to withstand repeated use and pressure

• Protects access holes and surrounding panels from damage

• Easy to handle and carry in any PDR toolkit

Benefits for Technicians

The Mini Leverage Block is an essential accessory for any PDR professional who values precision and care. It helps:

• Avoid panel distortion or damage during leverage

• Improve control when working in confined or awkward spaces

• Enhance repair speed and efficiency by providing stable leverage points

• Minimize the risk of paint damage or panel stretching

How to Use

After removing the headlight or taillight, place the Mini Leverage Block into the access hole or tight spot. Align one of the radius slots with the panel edge or bracket where leverage is needed. Use the block as a fulcrum or brace point to support pushing or pulling tools during dent removal. The radius slots help the block sit securely without slipping, even on curved or angled surfaces.

Summary

The Dent Craft PDR Leverage Block Mini is a smart, compact tool that safeguards vehicle panels during paintless dent repair. Its size, slot design, and durable construction make it ideal for tight spaces left by removed headlights or taillights. By preventing damage to access holes and improving leverage control, it helps technicians deliver faster, cleaner, and safer dent repairs.
