Fixing my kid's toy changed how I view dent repair.
Everyone says you need high tech tools, but a simple hammer and dolly often work better. I learned that from a plastic car.

Ever see someone fix something big with just basic tools? My buddy popped a huge dent out of his bike fender with a rubber mallet and a block of wood, said it made him rethink everything lol.

Right? @the_sandra, that totally hits home. I once fixed a totally stuck car door handle with just a flat-head screwdriver and a pair of pliers (the mechanism had slipped, and I was sure I needed a whole new part). Getting it to click back into place with those basic things felt like a magic trick. It really does make you question all the times you assume you need some special tool or a pro to fix simple stuff. That kind of win just changes how you look at every little problem around the house.

Nah, sometimes you DO need the right gear. Try fixing a real car frame with just a hammer and you'll make it way worse.
