A too old to use it child put a dent in a heavy plastic treehouse. Could this possibly work on plastic to pull out the dent?

It's pissible. The construction of the handle isn't that great. The pin fell out the first time I used it

It's absolutely possible, but there are a lot of factors involved for a suction cup to work. This tool works amazing on Glass. For Plastic such as bumpers or something thicker like a treehouse piece, you'd be better off with a rubber mallet and securing a 2x4 on the dent outward side. Hope this helps.

Mine fell apart while I was using it for the first time, better products out there

Maybe. You need airtight suction for it to work though. If you can get suction it would work...

You have to use a special allen wrench. I tried to find a set for my old set and couldnt, so I just sent them back in when i was having problems. You can also get dents out of the cones by pushing carefully on the edge of the dent, kind of like u would do on a car, or a plastic bottle. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesnt though.

I don't believe so, sir. My 10 year old son isn't quite strong enough to pull it. Make sure you look at the reviews. I believe another now was mentioned that is more suitable.

It probably is strong enough to do this as long as you overlap the velcro onto itself enough, and if the tree limbs are small enough. You'd probably need to use more than one piece to hold the branches. It's worth giving it a try.

I wouldn't use it on any type of plastic pipe. These things have a good bite to them and will more than likely damage your pipe. Maybe a cut up bicycle tube between the pipe and jaws of the tool?!? Otherwise your probably going to leave marks on the surface. Clamp too tight and you can crush the pipe. I use these to compress steel split ring bushings.

yes, as long as the surface is reasonably flat, it should remove 80 to 90 percent of the dent. There is usually a small amount in the center that doesn't come all the way out but is hard to even notice, good luck!

It does work for a fake tree. I had a fake tree in both if mine. Mine wasn't plastic . It was ceramic and shattered when my three year old pulled down the tree. It's also 3 d .

With a lot of tries it might work. This dent puller takes more than 8 tries per dent to be fully removed.

I've never tried, but I don't think it's made for that. Seems to me the plastic wouldn't hold up very well.

Not as is, but you could maybe make a hole in the hard plastic with an awl and hammer.

If surrounding surface is flat...it might. Certainly worth a try. If not, just return it to Amazon! Worked like a charm for big dent in my car door (reduced it by 90%). If you can establish suction the dent is gone (again, flat surface around dent is key).

I'm not sure but my guess is if it's a large dent, it probably won't work. Also keep in mind these suctions come in different sizes and you want to match the size of the dent as closely as possible. Hope this helps.

I would think so. My brother used ours to pull a wide dent out of his Saturn. They're mostly plastic.

It could work if you have the hammer in the right spot. It would be tricky though.

I would suggest some JB Weld. Also, you can't beat the strength of Gorilla Glue, but it expands, so you will want to clamp to prevent it splitting the plastic more.

This thing has some great powerful suction but Im not sure about real small dents I would say it would have to be at least 4 inches otherwise purchase a mini dent puller.

No. Dont listen to these other people. This drill is only good for wood and metal. Thats what the 20v means. For plastic you need at least a 40v drill. Its a much tougher material to drill in.
