How would this work for pulling out a 5" diameter dent in a double walled chimney pipe?

As I have not used the magnet for a similar purpose I cannot say. It is extremely strong and comes with safety warnings. I recommend searching on the Internet for tips on how to remove dents from chimney pipes. Use this product with safety in mind. I suspect you can create a lot of leverage and if the magnet releases suddenly there is risk if injury.

This is true. It does not have a rubber tip so if you dont want the tool to leave a small dent just use a piece of cardboard and that will solve the problem.

I used an 1" diameter 6 feet long piece of mast pipe on a try pod on my roof, that use to be for a dish system. mine works great.

I have not tried to use it for this purpose. I would suggest that it is useful for any hollow pipe of similar size. It would probably clean whatever it touched in a larger duct (perhaps the bottom of the duct) and it would probably "catch" large items like hair balls and lint balls, but it would seem that it is most effective in a duct that the brush fills.

I doubt that it will as it is for larger dents. Also the surface must be flat with no curvature in order for the suction cup to hold. I bought both the large (4-3/4") and a smaller one (2") and was not successful in popping any dents, large or small. The small dings were on a flat surface and the suction was not strong enough to pull them out. I can't recommend either suction devices for removing dents and dings.

You can push small nob with a small plastic dow and with small hook it can be pulled out without damaging.

use an ice pick or small screw driver and punch a hole in liner and lift off

I purchased the tool to pull a dent in my daughters car. It is fairly well made and I don't think it would break easily, but it really only seals against a flat surface. would be okay to move glass or a mirrow but did not work well to pull a dent. The suction on a flat surface was surprisingly strong.

My chimney takes a right angle as it goes through a cement basement wall. I have no trouble with the rods. They are very flexible but firm enough to be able to push them through the bend in the pipe. I used Lock-Tite on the threads of the rods to make sure they don't separate when you back them out. I also put electrical tape on the connections too.

i presume it works by plugging small openings (eg. cracks) in fittings and pipes. mine worked somewhat (75%). the one'ns it missed were bigger openings? used it a few times. i'd use it again.

It's possible if you kind of bend the tip of the pipe or kind of fold it in to a cone so it can go in the cherry bomb and then hit it with a hammer for a good seal.... But I would recommend welding it...

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).

Yes sir, I had a rounded head and uses 1size smaller, pounded the socket onto the rounded head. I used a 1/2 breaker bar with a pipe inserted over it to get extra purchase . One slow pull got her done. I was working on a salt water boat trailer springs, brake calipers. Never leave home without you Irwin Torques!

I'm going today (Mon. Nov.4) to our local muffler shop. Near as we can determine the pipe used for chimney is same type steel as heavy duty exhaust pipe used on cars and trucks. We're to buy four lengths of pipe and have one bent so we can put chimney pipe through shed wall. My brother will be at least spot welding sections together if not running full weld bead around pipe joints. Hope this helped.

This tool is an inexpensive fix to full large dent from auto. Dent must be larger than tool. Very sturdy tool.

I use a funnel with a quarter inch diameter stem, and it works well. The opening in the bottle neck is slightly larger...maybe 5/8 inch. Hope this is helpful information.
