Speaker: [00:00:00] 1, 2, 3, 4.
What's up guys? Gene Fatty back at you with another episode of the All Access Podcast from Dent Repair. Now, uh, we are back. It's wintertime. MTE is ticking up on us very quickly. Uh, in fact, I leave in like. Eight days whenever you're listening to this. I fly down Tuesday night, so super stoked. Can't wait to be there.
Um, so I wanna make a correction. A few episodes ago, it might've been the big two hour tool show. Uh, I made a comment about Kevin Halewood having his years wrong and he should have, um, hit 25 years and 25 had planned it out. Uh, but he was off by one. John corrected me, uh, because of COVI. It would've been 25 years, [00:01:00] but, uh, there was no show in 2021.
Right? COVID year, whatever it was. Anyways, Kevin, rest in peace. Sorry for picking on you. You had it right. COVID screwed it all up. Anyways, guys, this is episode number 53 of the show. We are getting after it. I didn't know what to talk about today. Honestly, not even a hundred percent. All in that I wanted to do it today.
Uh, in fact, me and Melissa were out yesterday and I'm like, I don't know what to talk about. I don't know what to do. I don't even really want to do a show. I don't have a burning reason to do a show. But, but I told you guys we're doing a show every week, all year. So I have to do a show. I don't, don't have a choice.
I've not given myself that out, and I'm certainly not gonna break my streak three episodes into the year. Uh, so right, we talked about setting goals [00:02:00] earlier. Uh, an episode or two. Two or two, whatever it is, you listen to it. Anyways, we talked about some goal setting, um, and New Year's resolution, so on and so forth.
Motivation will only get you so far, right? And I've heard this a bunch of times. It makes a lot of sense and it's really what you gotta do. Discipline. Is what will take you far, that's what what will get you to where you want to be. This show, uh, is a disciplined show for me, right? This, this particular episode.
I loved doing the show. I love talking, uh, about all tools and techniques and business, and I love all that stuff. This show, uh, yesterday felt like more of a grind, uh, than today. Uh, today when I left the house and walked into the shop, like, I'm fired up, let's go. But. There was a serious lack of motivation to get this show done yesterday.
I had to engage my discipline to get there, [00:03:00] and really that's what it comes down to if you're going to execute on anything is motivation will only take you so far. You have to be disciplined and you just gotta do it. Now as a professional procrastinator, I will tell you a lot of times that I am pushing that down to the wire.
You guys probably see that with the show when I tell you, Hey, if. You know, 11 o'clock at night, Sunday night. But I'm recording the show. Um, but I'm beating the deadline. Uh, this is not 11 o'clock at night. This is Sunday afternoon when I planned to record the show. Like, this is not a, this is not a last minute move, but Right.
Like getting it done inside of the deadlines that you set is where magic happens. Right? Going back to the power list we talked about a couple episodes ago, having that list down, the things you need to do. To get done, to work through your list, to check through our many deadlines. That helps motivate me, and I'm certain that, that that'll help motivate you if you add that to your list.[00:04:00]
Shout out. I'm not gonna do names, I don't wanna embarrass anybody, right? But last week on the show I talked about your work's great, but nobody, nobody knows who you are. I saw several people. That I know our listeners put out videos with their face on it, and I'm not used to seeing your face on video.
That is what I'm talking about. Super proud that you got on there and did it. Just keep doing it, I promise. I promise that it will continue to get easier, uh, and it'll become second nature and you will just plop a camera on top of your computer and be able to chat away like this, right? Hats off. Right?
Action is. Action is where it is at. So we are leading up to MTE first, right? Before we get into my like, discipline was the thought behind today's [00:05:00] show. Uh, I gave you my 2 cents on that. It's not that hard, just fricking do it even when you don't wanna do it. But coming up to MTE, right? We're gonna do a little bit of tool talk.
I totally lost my train of thought. Oh, that's it. Right? So I had mentioned that we, I opened the podcast show on Radio row first thing Friday morning at the show. I think we're 10 o'clock, uh, on air. I would love to have a few listeners come on, gimme like five or 10 minutes, just a quick little interview.
Introduce yourself, talk about it, talk about your business, talk about MTE. Uh, if you've got tools, you probably won't hop on the show because you'll be busy selling tools. But anyways, reach out to me if you think you would like to sit down and just talk for a couple minutes on the show at mt. If I can get a handful of you guys together, that's the episode I'm gonna do.
There is a little round table talk at mt. [00:06:00] So hit me up in the dms. Most of you, uh, or a lot of you have my cell phone. Shoot me a text, shoot me an email [email protected]. Hit me up. I wanna have you on the show. So MTE is coming. We had our big two hour tool show where it was like sort of quick, here's this, here's this.
Check it out, check it out. Here's what I like. Bang, bang, boom. Uh, we had some new tools. We had some old tools. We, today I've got a handful of new tools that I have at least teased about or made funny A SMR videos about. Um, that if you haven't watched go watch, comment on it, share it. Um, we've got a brand new tool, uh, that I thought I was gonna get to be first.
Uh, but Craig with Anson beat me to the punch. I guess he does have a slightly bigger tool audience than I do. Uh, but I'm super excited for these, uh, a tool. [00:07:00] Actually a couple of tools from Ukraine. Uh, that my buddy Miro told me about and I ordered in and, uh, kind of digging. So I wanna show you those and a little update on the new micro mini micro hub.
I think it's micro hub, the new micro hub, uh, from Anson. I wanna give you a little update now that I've got to put some reps on it and, uh, we'll go from there. So without further ado, let's talk about some tools, do a little tool review. Um, let's get this Ukraine stuff out first. Uh, so Miro and his wife, uh, came in for our dance for kids, uh, meetup here.
And then ended up, we ended up at dinner with them and a few other people after the meetup, um, we're talking tools, talking shop, and I think it was Stefan said, Hey, I got that Doge or that, uh. Edge Dolly you were [00:08:00] talking about from the dude in Ukraine. Uh, I think it's pretty awesome that I'm like, oh, what's this Dolly from Dude Ukraine?
Like I need to know. And Miro is an amazing technician. So like if he's got a tool that he thinks is pretty badass, I definitely wanna know about it and put it in my arsenal. So, uh, the brand is cult, CULT and I'm not sure that he ships a bunch to the us. Um, but. Like pretty cool tools. So let's compare and contrast
edge dollies, excuse me, grabbing my tool should have been a little bit more planned out. Uh, grabbing some tools. So these, we'll do a little A SMR for the audio listeners. Uh, these are two of the dent craft edge dollies, which I think I talked about in the two hour show. And if I didn't, you need, you need to put these in your kit.
And they're incredibly cheap for what they [00:09:00] are. So Edge dollies are awesome. This Edge Dolly from Cult, uh, is pretty cool. So decent radius there, sort of like red dent craft radius, slightly less or straighter edge there. Little hook so you can work backwards as well. And my favorite part that I've used and loved so far is this little notch.
So this little notch, uh, if you can picture right, like if this is the edge of your panel right in your bent down, you can now go onto the edge and make some very controlled knocks. Up with that. So not a game changer, not anything like that. Just a simple, uh, also very skinny, right? So maybe half, yeah, about half the thickness of the dent craft edge Dolly.[00:10:00]
Pretty genius. Little design. Uh, check that out. So just search cult tools. Uh, I found it on Instagram and DMD them through there, uh, and did my order. Uh, so I did this. I actually did this paddle because I'm a paddle junkie. Um, this really is more to just hang on my wall than actually use it. Uh, but nice little build looks like it's oak.
Uh, I can't read Ukrainian, but that says something. Uh, maybe if you speak Ukrainian, you can say what that says. Uh, but anyways, nice little paddle, uh, sort of falls in the middle of my mix. I would go generally stinger. And then up to VIP. I don't know that I would make a stop in the middle here, but regardless, it's gonna look cool hanging on my hammer wall, uh, this way that we are in the process of building out.
Anyways. Super cool. [00:11:00] We, I also picked up, I believe this is the, is this the stainless? I don't think it's titanium. It's too heavy to be titanium. Picked up the stainless. Blending hammer from him as well, because why not have more hammers? Uh, a little different handle design. Uh, I like it though. Uh, you can index and that is like my biggest pet peeve with hammers is these round handles that don't index well.
This is very clear where you're, uh, heading with it. Um, interchangeable tips. Standard five sixteenths threads. All right. There we go. Yep. Standard five, 16 threads. Uh, I like the weight. Uh, it didn't weigh it heavier than my Glaxo, lighter than my fast PDR, so I'm gonna guess somewhere in this six ounce, uh, ish weight, um, digging this [00:12:00] head very similar to, uh, you know, like a VIP round head.
Uh, nothing too crazy. This one makes me a little nervous. I've made a few strikes with it. I think I would like to see it a little bit more rounded off, but nonetheless, another cool hammer to add to my collection. Um, I dig it right? Can you ever have too many hammers? Some people might say yes. I say, you don't need that kind of negativity in your life, right?
So those, uh, cult tools. Uh, the paddle, the hammer and that edge Dolly. Pretty cool stuff. Um, again, nerding out dense stuff, uh, but we all love tools. So also shout out to Ed VanDyne VanDyne, I think, not Vandy VanDyne. Uh, I need to look for the two tips for the fast PDR Hammer that I didn't buy that [00:13:00] you swore by.
So. Noted, and I will be looking for those at MTE that's on my hit list to pick them up and put 'em on my fast PDR hammer that I enjoy as a heavier hammer, but it is not sitting on top of my disaster tool cart, so I'm not gonna grab it and show you. Right? It's the fast PDR blending hammer. Uh, next up, let's talk about, well, since we already pulled these in, let's talk about.
The micro hub from Anson. I believe it's Anson, could be tequila. It's all Anson at this point. And whilst we are at it, um, let's talk about it. So we're at it. Uh, I did like a first look, uh, YouTube video if you wanna dive a little bit deeper. I dunno, it's five or 10 minutes long. Uh, the upgrade or the update to[00:14:00]
the update to this head, uh, is no, this is an end game here, right? So it really so hard to work backwards on the camera. The end game has right those gears which fit all of our standard hub tools that we've been using for years. Uh, now the end game by design that rotates outta the way. So it's not the same teeth all the way, but it's kind of a short tooth.
Uh, and you can get potentially some slippage. Um, they really upgraded a, the micro, a much, much bigger tooth. You see that, you can really see that in there, a much bigger tooth to get a better bite. Um. Especially on the small handle. I've already had a, and this is not a, not a slam on 'em, I had a dense layer handle explode.
Like it ripped the teeth right out because the teeth were too small, even [00:15:00] smaller than like on the end game. Now a one warrantied it as they always do. It's amazing stuff, but this is a serious upgrade where you can see a deeper tooth here and when this thing locks in. Minute it is all the way locked in.
You've got a great bite. Um, I wanna say Matt was even sort of testing, extending this just to stress test it and didn't have any failures at all. So the new micro handle available at Anson is pretty killer. Um, it doesn't rotate the way the end game does, but it's old school. You still get whatever it is, two, I don't know, 12.
Points of movement around, uh, some of the tools that I picked up with it first. My favorite, uh, it's a go-to, sort of reminds me of back in the day. So, back in the day, my first [00:16:00] favorite door tool was a five 16th J Hook, uh, fixed handle, fixed loop handle in line with the j uh, from a one. Made a lot of money with that tool.
Uh, you probably could still buy it, but Right. Fixed handle, tore the arms up. Then I switched to a, uh, original indexable ratcheting handle. And now, right, we switched to, uh, the door lords as doors have gotten bigger and the end game is my door tool stuff. However, it was always nice with that five 16th rod to be able to like, shoot down even the tightest of door gaps, uh, and still get into places.
Well, this is quickly. Becoming a new favorite door tool. This is the, um, I think that is five sixteenths, micro hub end, right? Micro hub, hub, um, blade tip. So much like get that up in here. [00:17:00] Much like my original A one right where it's just a blade, which is nice because I can get in and get a good flat push.
I can also, if I got a brace, sneak down to some portion in between the brace. And outer skin if you're at the edge, right? Because that is shaved down. Like so I can also take this and sneak out to the edge, uh, of the panel. And because it's five sixteens, uh, if the brace is up higher in the door, I've got less than I need to fight to sneak down in between the brace and the window to get below the brace.
Uh, the, I don't know if they're calling these the micro door lords, uh, but anyways, the micro door tools. Uh, this is quickly becoming a favorite four. Sure. Right. So add that to your arsenal or like, check that out at MTE definitely needs to be on your hit list. Um, these arched brace tools, nice and sharp.
Great for [00:18:00] finishing
great drive, right? It's a good, solid steel or solid stainless tool. What's nice is instead of. Just being fixed, right? Part of the indexable handle thing, right? Instead of being fixed, if I need more torque or, right, because you're taking this and you're sneaking up into a hole and like, so if you need a little bit more reach or you're getting kind of tight, right?
We can just slide this down and still get good drive. If it's a slightly bigger opening and you would've normally been over twisting your arm, no big deal. Index it up and now when you start to over twist, you're getting into where you can load the tool up. Great little set of tools. Uh, Christina Craig, if you guys are listening, Vinny, uh, I would like to see these in a more blunt, uh, option.
[00:19:00] And also, uh, not from Anson, but from Dent Reaper. I saw that the Hale's angel. Tools, which are an absolute must have in my opinion for hail, are now available in Mich Hub Connection. So check that out. So if we got sharp and then Anson, right? Give me a blunt. And then the dense Slayer Hails Angels Killer Killer combo.
The rattlesnake whale tails. Uh, I've been a dent craft. I still am like a dent craft whale tail guy. Probably forever. I don't really know what the improvement is on there unless we can get a collab between Dent Craft and Anson. And we get these handles for it, right? Like they're my go-to. However, uh, much like this curved brace tool sort of changed how we can sneak up in braces.
I am [00:20:00] digging the rattlesnake arched. Uh, whale tail for working in braces. You're not cutting your knuckles up. You're not beating yourself up. And same thing. Sometimes you're in a slightly larger brace and you're trying to twist, and we only have so much power before we're, we're getting out of our big muscles.
Not a problem anymore. With the indexing handle. Put that over. Now we're working big muscles instead of wearing off the small muscles, digging it. So all of these micro hub tools. Are absolutely, uh, must haves. I can't wait to see what more they have added to the collection, uh, when I get two MTE. And then last but not least, in this collection.
And I remember when these came out and I did not buy them. Like, I was like, I don't know, like I can get a whale till wherever. Probably not gonna need to sneak that in much. The Lucky Sevens, is that a seven or is that a seven? I think that's a seven for you guys anyways. The Lucky Sevens, [00:21:00] uh. I have since picking these up, grabbed a, uh, been through a, a couple of holes where I wouldn't have been able to get a whale tail before and I've been able to, right, put a little tweak on here, get up and in, and then I've got my whale tail move this one inch or so, uh, with a whale tail style push through a small existing, we don't drill existing hole.
Um. With these ta or with these tools, uh, the lucky sevens like check 'em out. Maybe not a go-to tool, uh, but something as we are building out or as you're building out your arsenal, this is a tool that definitely has a place in the box for some of those tricky, difficult to get to, uh, areas.
Alright. All right, so next up, uh, are the new micro tips from Black Plague. [00:22:00] Right. So they come on this holder. Speaking of mro, sla, MRO made an awesome like cinematic style video with these. Uh, we made a really fun, uh, dad joke style video and A SMR, uh, with these. So go check those. Uh, go check that video out.
If you haven't, um, haven't had a chance to see it. Uh, I've got a lot of comments, uh, not on the post, the comment on the post. But anyways, I've got a lot of dms or even in person, like, oh, that video cracked me up. It was hilarious. Um, tools are ama, the tips are amazing. Um, it's a great value. So I think it was like, call it like round them out, two 50, shipped, something like that.
There's 23 tips. Uh, I know that because I thought there was 24 and this fell over and tips fell off and I was looking for. One more tip because I only counted [00:23:00] 23, uh, for like 10 minutes. And then Mac was, he counted the the markings because it tells you what tip to go where on here. And I'm like, dude, I don't know.
I only see 23 tips. I've gotta be missing one. Because who would make an odd number set of tips? That's weird. It should be 24. And then he counted the spots and he's like, dad, there's 23. So I know for sure there's 23 tips. Uh, and my quick. Dent guy Math 23 times 10 would be through two 30, so you're only talking about a little over $10 a tip.
And the magnetic holder here. Um, I've talked earlier in other episodes about the Dent Slayer, uh, call it mini R four tip. This is the mini R four tip from Black Plague in essence. The same tip, um, man, that gets [00:24:00] you into some places, uh, that you just can't get, uh, an R four tip to normally. Really, really a cool, uh, tip.
I'm excited to try and have, haven't come across something I need yet, but I'm excited to try these two crease tips. So we've got. I think it's round shovel and straight shovel. Um, but I'm really excited to give these tips a try on a crease and see what they'll do. Uh, it's all made out of what I would imagine is just like a regular tool.
Steel. Uh, they remind me of the, uh, finish, uh, that's on a typical D dent craft, uh, style tip. Uh, it's there, this tip, the 30 s. I dunno what the 30 is. Oh, there we go. I don't know what the 30 is, but the S is sharp. So this is like [00:25:00] needle, needle sharp. In fact, you can see, I think you can see they even have a little bit of I Where on there?
That tip? Oh, get back there. That tip is so sharp. That it will let you actually not just get inside of Orange Peel, but push inside of orange peel texture without directly affecting the texture on the outside of the orange peel, if that makes sense. Like, uh, so I was finishing this absolute ballbuster fender on a Volkswagen.
Also side note, what happened to Volkswagen's Metal? Did it go to garbage when I wasn't paying attention? Uh, I do not like how it pushes, and I've always liked working on Volkswagen Metal. Always like it was one of my first accounts I ever landed [00:26:00] was a Volkswagen store, so I've done a lot of 'em.
Something's going on with a metal, if you know, or if you've noticed that Volkswagen Metal's been bad, like, drop a comment, hit me up. Let's talk about it. Maybe we could like drown our sorrows in a cup of coffee or a beer. About how bad that medal is. Anyways, uh, this fender took me to school. Certainly ended, or towards the end was, was way more textured, uh, than I want it to be.
I remembered listening to Keith on the, the PDR College podcast, talk about this tip and how well it worked. Um, so they just happened to come in while it was here. So I went and grabbed this and that was the first one I loaded up, man. I made short work of getting in and cleaning up that the textured area.
That I was fighting really, really great stuff. Um, he has also got in here, uh, tips for like the ultra soft cap. Um, we've got just some other ball tips, some nice different flat radii, radii. [00:27:00] I think it's radii. Um, great little selection of tips. Uh, really allows you to get into places that. A standard tip won't, or, uh, where you don't need that kick like that, just that extra half inch makes a big difference.
Um, these are cool and you can almost thread them in, uh, at least on the tools that I've trotted on so far. You can almost thread 'em in to where it's just the tip. I know somebody just laughed. But anyways, it's just the actual tip of the tip, uh, sticking out to, to work with. Um. Um, my only complaint, and it's not really a complaint because like at least he gave us a nice holder for these.
Um, I, I'm not, I'm not the most organized person in the world, like just, uh, it is what it is. I'm working on getting better, but I'm not there. Um, I generally keep my working tips on top of my cart. I use a Milwaukee Packout. I have the Willy Quick Topper, uh, and the [00:28:00] Anson Silicone insert. Well, there's nowhere in there that this really sits, but I was like, okay, like we can let it ride on the side and sit there, uh, because these just sit on the face and they're not down in, uh, I found that it's easy for them to get pumped off sitting up there.
I have to, in order to use this, take these ends off right and stick it down in a drawer. Uh, more of a pet peeve than anything. Uh, I am half contemplating and maybe I'll sacrifice, like this is a magnet bar. Maybe I will sacrifice a, uh, Harbor Freight one and see if I can't drill some holes, uh, to be able to get this to sit down in.
And if that works, then I'll drill the holes in this one so I don't kill this one. But anyways, Keith, amazing job on these tips. Uh, I can't wait to try 'em all out. I really can't wait to get a crease, uh, to get in there with that flat shovel. [00:29:00] And rounded shovel, um, tip to see how they push. Uh, and like the R four tips are amazing and that 30 s Dude, you might wanna make a full size tip in the 30 s while you're at it.
That was, that was good stuff. Really detailed fine stuff, man. Love it. I love it. Alright. Definitely take a look at those. At the, uh, at the show. Uh, also, I think he is debuting his. Super straight tabs, uh, that we have tested. Um, good tab, a very sharp pulling tab. Like for me, uh, they have become
like a pre stretched stretchy tab. So if you've been doing glue pulling a long time, you know, occasionally you will get a tab that will stretch and then it just won't break. It stays stretched and that tab. Not only [00:30:00] hooks up, but I think it's probably something along the lines of like dead center technology that thinned out shaft will also help pull a sharper high spot, if that makes sense.
Anyways, stretchy tabs are something special. I think it's a side bonus to what Keith was designing for a side bonus. That they pull the same way a stretchy tab pulls. Um, and when they will, when you're into a sharp dent that you really just cannot get to flip right? To pull that pit. Uh, the super straight tabs have saved my butt on several dents.
Now, his design on them is to, and I think he even did a video on him, like, as you're pulling, right? Like, let's pretend this is a slide hammer and we're here. As you're pulling, you are not pulling. Perfectly away. Even if you go with the matte boyette, tricep pull, you're [00:31:00] still on an arch or an arc. You're creating an arc.
Uh, the super straight tabs have a pyramid design. I guess that's a pyramid. Four size. Yeah, I think it's a pyramid. Anyways, a pyramid design that as your adapter comes up, it automatically self centers in the adapter so that you can't pull. Let's time so that you can't pull
lopsided, right. So see, I can, I can make a lot of sideways movement. Oh, I can make a lot of sideways movement with a standard tab and a standard head with the super straight tabs because of the pyramid design. By design as you pull, whether it's with a robo or a mini lifter or a slide hammer, it makes you [00:32:00] slide up the shaft and as you come to the head, get perfectly straight to make a better pull.
Now, one of my lines when I'm teaching glue pull is the straighter you pull, the stronger you can pull. So by design, Keith's new super straight tabs will force a super straight pull, which theoretically. Right. If my theory is correct, if Keith's theory is correct, we'll create a stronger pull because it is a straighter pull.
So I think he's done a couple explainer videos on them. Um, go check out his videos and certainly again, while you're over at the booth getting your micro tips, let's get that branding right while you're over at the booth getting your micro tips. Um, check out his new super straight tabs and uh, like get after it.
So we are just about ready to wrap up. Talked about that. Next up, I just got these and I will tell you that I am so excited about them that I [00:33:00] almost want to go take a headliner down and drop a sun roof assembly just to see how well they work. Can you guess what tool I'm talking about? If you don't have 'em, you need to get 'em.
So what I'm talking about is the sun dial. Sunroof helper, removal thing of a jigger. Uh, anyways, we did an interview with Mark, uh, Mark Reed is the creator. Uh, we did an interview with Mark at MTE last year. I'm sure it's on one of the channels somewhere. It might be on a a i stuff. And we were transitioning some of that YouTube stuff into here.
Anyways, uh, this is the original Sundial tool, so it is. An m something I, I guess that he's smarter than I am. And he found out that, uh, all sunroofs use this size and thread bolt, uh, and they are either a bolt or a [00:34:00] stud. And he created a bolt with a coupler, right, that you can go on. He has a bead welded in there, so you can't over thread and poke a hole in the roof.
Um. I know I shared some videos, or at least some pictures or over the summer, uh, using this, I was able, I was able to drop and reinstall a pano roof in an expedition by myself in like, like, I had it back up in five minutes. I didn't need any help. Right. I was there. So these go on, thread on, and then, right.
You thread these up. And then as you're coming down, you're threading this down, holding up here. Go to the next one. Go to the next one. Love it. Always a little bit of a pain in the butt to deal with that fine thread, but by design it's the fine thread that it needs to be. I was thinking to myself, man, I wonder if there was a way that you could like [00:35:00] disengage and just make it slide up and down, like maybe the bolt on the end anyways.
Not a tool designer. Mark reached out to me about a week ago and he said, Hey, we've got a new tool coming out. I'm gonna send it to you. Tell me what you think. And he didn't gimme any hints. So I'm like, well, I hope it's something Sundial related, but we will see. So I don't know that they're called Sundial Twos, uh, or what they're called, but I'm, for the sake of this, we're gonna call this the Sundial too.
So same coupler on the end, same bead. So you don't overread and hit the roof, however, new and improved red knobs. I'm just kidding. I mean, they're red and that's how you would identify it. But check this out. I don't know how they did it. I'm not a machinist, but they put a button in so I can push the button and guess what it does?
Disengages the threads. [00:36:00] Let it go. It'll click right back on. And then you can fine tune, but now you can go big moves very quickly. Oh, the like, instead of the old hooks across and like ratchet and bring it down. Bring it down. Then you need like three guys to hold this up and pull the stru. It's a pain in the ass.
These make sunroof cartridges. A one man show for sure. Uh, and that button, that disengages. Killer. Uh, so I think these may be available at Anson. I saw Craig uh, pimping 'em out. Uh, Mark's website is sun dial tool.com. Pretty sure it's sun dial tool. I will make sure the right link is in the description, show notes, whatever, whatever you call it.
Whatever you're looking, I'll make sure the right link to Sundials website is in there. These are awesome. [00:37:00] Uh, so I got a set of four, uh, I believe these are debuting at MTE, but the new Sundial, two point ohs with the disengaging thread. Look at that. I mean, like, then you push the button that doesn't screw in.
You let go of the button and it's right back to being a screw. That is fricking fantastic. Uh, these were, we did a lot of hail cars. Uh, last summer these were absolutely amazing for dropping sunroofs. In fact, I think we have, we've got at least three full sets of the original sundials, uh, because you could oftentimes have multiple sunroofs down in a car or some of those big ones like that, pano on the expedition, I put six on like all four corners and two in the middle because I didn't want anything to bow.
The Sundial sunroof tools are money. So, [00:38:00] uh, that is it. Um, some new cool tools to check out at MTE. Maybe you'll get lucky and the cult tools will be there somewhere. If not, look for them on Instagram and check it out. I just got some cool stuff and again, this cool little edge Dolly is awesome. Really. I figured since I was gonna pay shipping from Ukraine, I might as well put some other stuff in the box, which is why I got the paddle and the hammer.
So, but I was really going after this, uh, new cool stuff to show you. Uh, I've talked to Jean. Level Up is going to be a go. Uh, he's got the syllabus put together. I'm working on the landing page. Hopefully before the next episode, before episode 54, uh, I'll have the landing page done and it will be up and ready to go.
We are having 8, 8, 8 spots is all we are doing. If we don't have at least five people sign up. The show's not gonna, or the, the class is not gonna happen. So [00:39:00] one, get in there and get it so we can get this thing going. And two, don't mess around because eight spots will go fast. I really, truly believe that we're gonna sell this out.
Uh, it's going to be three days, uh, February 26th, 27th, 28. That is a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, right? So you're taking less on, less time off of work, and we're not burning you out. Uh, price is going to be $3,000. Uh, again. I will get that landing page up, hopefully before episode 54 comes out. Um, that's that.
Don't forget, MTE 2025, uh, beginner's day. I'm speaking in the afternoon glue pull 1 0 1. I will show you exactly how to get strong, effective pulls every single time and become a great glue. Pull on Thursday, uh, putting that Kiko shirt back on. Unlocking and staying unlocked for your repairs. Using lateral tension to make your dents easier and debuting some new tools from Kiko, [00:40:00] you're not gonna wanna miss that.
And in the afternoon we've got the Shop owners Roundtable. Myself and Matt Moore are gonna co-host co mc with Andy and Amanda Patrick of Dapper Dent Repair and Mr. Doug Hillious of Dent Solutions. Out of Seattle. Um, it's really gonna be a great show. It's a little shorter than last year. I think we got 45 minutes.
We might stretch that to an hour if you're there. Uh, but the last two ones have been standing room only, so make sure you get there early, get your seat. We are excited to see you. And with that, let's see if I can make this cool little outro since we had the intro. Lemme see if I can't get this Cool little outro to do it.
Follow us on social media. Guys. Thanks for listening. I will see you on the next [00:41:00] show.
