Abstract
A paintless dent repair kit includes a housing with a handle extending therefrom and a toothed wheel rotatably retained in the housing. The toothed wheel has a plurality of teeth extending outwards therefrom and is configured to receive, replace, and removably retain any one of a plurality of sockets fixedly attached to one of several dent removal tool tips. The housing features a first button connected to a teethed lever slidably positioned to be either engaged or disengaged with the plurality of teeth of the toothed wheel depending on the position of the first button. Unless the first button is depressed, the dent removal tool is configured to securely and fixedly retain the dent removal tip to facilitate direct transmission of force and torque from the handle to the dent removal tip during dent removal operations. The housing further features a second button attached to a release pin slidably positioned inside the toothed wheel. Pushing n the second button releases the socket and allows for a rapid exchange of the tool tip.
