Let me start off by saying I've been a professional body tech for quite a long period of time and I have never used a pneumatic tool for a door skin. To be quite honest, I didn't even know they existed other than the attachment you can put on your air hammer (don't try that one)I came across a YouTube video of this tool and couldn't believe how easy they made it look. I figured for the price I might as well buy it and test it out for myself.The tool came with an instructional video so I watched it first and the next day I grabbed myself a door skin job to give it a shot. I was pleasantly suprised that this tool worked exactly as advertised. All you have to do is crimp the corners and style lines in the door then slightly bend in the rest of the skin. After that you can simply run this tool around the remainder of the door and get a nice tight factory looking seam. If the seam isn't tight enough all you have to do is adjust the sliding pad and get it where you want it.I've now used it 5-6 times and the only negative thing I can say is there are some areas that this tool doesn't have enough surface area to actually hook the frame so you can't use it.I should have bought this tool years ago, not only does it save time, it will save you a lot of sweat.I still can't comment on the durability of the tool or how long it will last, but it feels solid and well made. If that changes I will update this review. To be quite honest even if this tool only lasted for 20 skins it still pays for itself and I would buy another.Try it out yourself, once you figure it out you won't be disappointed.
